Repealing prop 13 might actually increase the supply of rentals, as it incentivizes renting out currently underutilized real estate.
Right??? I was very confused how this was considered a bug considering every other device in the world works this way.
Yes it appears that's what this means.
> I would imagine this can be easily made sports agnostic?

Only if you can find the same quality of data feeds in the sports. It'll never be agnostic but it could in theory be generalized so that it's easy to add sports.

But again - data formats.
Your mileage will vary on LinkedIn depending on the time you put into populating your profile.

I have written hundreds of profiles for clients this year - some clients are more concerned with branding (what does someone feel when they are directed to the profile or find it on their own) while others are much more concerned with just being discovered by recruiters, hiring managers, peers, etc. The approach is quite different, not unlike SEO techniques.

If you're getting good ads, chances are you put some time into your profile and added skills that help their recommendation algorithm.
The math/random point is well taken.

The hex.EncodeToString() point is a nit. Generate 128 bits of randomness, and then encode it however you'd like. The track record of people trying to get "generate random numbers in the alphanumeric range" isn't great; it's an opportunity to reintroduce bias. Start with a random token of sufficient size, then encode.

The Argon2 vs. bcrypt thing is unhelpful. It does not matter what password hash you use, so long as you use a hash designed for password storage (ie: not "salted SHA-2"). Bcrypt is fine. I prefer scrypt, for the obvious hardware tradeoff. I don't recommend Argon2 to people (or tell people to stop using it) because of the library support issues.

But I think it's specifically a bad idea to tell people to switch password hashes from bcrypt (or PBKDF2) to the trendy new hash. The security benefit of "upgrading" from one password hash to another is marginal.

(Obviously, the benefit of switching from "salted" hashes to real password hashes is not).
Like, I'm guessing, many people here, I used to participate in Slashdot, but switched that finite collection of attention cycles to HN. I think the main reason was that moderation simply failed to bury the bad stuff and surface the good stuff, mainly due to moderator gullibility: commenters who wrote in an authoritative voice were routinely highly scored, even when insanely wrong. That and way too much simple immaturity, which, so far, seems to be successfully discouraged here.
It will be forked because they have history of forking when people "lose" funds.
my only experience with this being confusing is the immutable.js Map construct.

While this doesn't cause an immense amount of confusion, it does throw me every once in a while.
> Frankly, over time the average white American family is going to find it more and more difficult to afford higher education, as if by design, to push them out of the middle class. Meanwhile, poor non-whites will be granted scholarships based on non-whiteness.

No they wont. White females are still eligible for many of the same (gender based) diversity advantages. The majority of college students in the US are female.

Besides that, most of the wealth in this country is controlled by white families. Which makes your assertion truly pointless: unless there is some major cataclysm, white families will continue to pass on their advantages to their offspring for generations to come.
This is not new behavior.
This I don't understand about Ethereum.

Just look at all the companies like Microsoft or Apple with millions to spare, or massive community efforts like Linux kernel, either with no shortage of means and resources to make their systems resistant to simple programming bugs.

But history clearly shows that no amount of processes, audits, static analysis or eyepairs help: bugs just keep on being found where ever security folks look for them, and the harder they look, the more they find. Upside is, these systems can be patched, which is comforting as clearly there just is no bug-free code.

Yet, people keep on pouring millions of dollars worth of virtual tokens to these experimental blockchain systems that are fundamentally designed so that any bug of certain class means the money is forever, irreversibly lost - as if these crypto contracts were some mythical new breed of software written by infallible Gods.
Twitter is rolling out 280-character tweets around the world
It's a good idea, but they can't have their cake and eat it too. If it's so good for society that they get taxpayer money, the data should be freely licensed. Conversely, if they expect to monetize the data, then we should charge them a very stiff fee for having the monopoly on postal-van cameras (I find it unlikely the postal service would agree to let multiple companies mount equipment on their vehicles, if they'd even let one).
Those are all just particular cases of the same concept. A "map", well, maps values in a domain to values in a codomain. A mathematical function is a map. A key/value data structure can be viewed as a partial function on a non contiguous, discrete domain. A hashmap is just an implementation detail of a key/value structure. A map over an array is again just a function mapping an array in one domain to another array in a codomain.
Possible, although I am dubious of any measure of campaign spending that does not include PAC contributions.
This analysis has been circulating various mailing lists at MIT:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e3oIk8AO9F_UL98z5cieKha1V5e...

As a summary, a RA at berkeley would experience a ~60% increase in federal taxes while a RA at MIT would experience a ~240% increase in federal taxes. In addition to that it bumps up any additional income you try to earn to a high marginal tax rate.

I can't believe they found a way to make doing a phd even more financially unattractive. It seems that this will either have a significantly adverse impact on STEM phd programs or the colleges will just figure out some different way to structure the tuition waivers.

Can you provide any specific details on how the new suggested tax plan will raise the bar? It seems as though we should be encouraging Graduate and PhD students. It seems as though it would force additional students into taking out loans if their tuition is not waived?
I get this too. I thought it was because my phone is older (iphone 6). Since the upgrade my phone has been AWFUL and is beginning to cause more frustration than it's worth.

I also subscribe to Apple Music and it is driving me crazy. Since the upgrade it randomly starts over with my songs in alphabetical order and not on shuffle so even if I'm ok with it I have to touch my phone to shuffle them.

All that worked just fine in before the upgrade. Now if I don't restart the phone frequently it breaks a couple times a week.

My phone is bought and paid for, but when the time comes for a new one if this is still happening I am likely going Android and using google play for music.

I am beyond annoyed with it. I've always used iphones since smart phones came out, but I have nothing against android and if this keeps up I'm gone. At that point I'll keep using Androids until it does something incredibly annoying and causes me to look elsewhere.

Apple is very close to losing a customer for generations of phones to come if they don't figure things out.

Edited to add: also now my song list has random songs grayed out. I haven't taken time to look into it but this was not an issue before I upgraded to 11. The same song will play fine if it naturally gets queued or I search for it, but touch it to play... nope!
Every iOS has been a mess since iOS 7 at least, and the reason seems pretty straight-forward: every year there is an expansion in scope while maintaining a strict 1-year development cycle. This necessarily means that the bugs start to pile up (since the main focus is constantly some set of new features, never fully allowing a true stabilization period), and I suppose its reached a point now where they are evident to even the untrained eye, but the writing was on the wall for quite a bit if you ask me. Just take a look:

1. iOS 7: Major overhaul of the UI means the entire system is going to be in flux (to this day UI doesn't feel as polished as iOS 6, whether you prefer that style or not). Either way, the focus was monopolized by remaking every UI widget. Also, Swift announced.

2. iOS 8: Apple Watch year. Major amount of work getting iOS to run on a third platform (iPhone, iPad, Watch). Surely lots of attention drawn away to get the Watch shipped, plus associated iPhone support for the Watch. This was also the year a new screen size was introduced with iPhone 6 Plus (arguably the downscaling shouldn't have affected mainline iOS stability too much, but just to highlight ever increasing support for different stuff). Also, third party keyboards.

3. iOS 9: Support for the latest gimmick "3D Touch" which required every app to add a bunch of (IMO) useless new undiscoverable affordances as well as long overdue major overhaul of iPad features: multitasking, etc.

4. iOS 10: Entire new class of apps for Messages and associated entire new App Store. Basically a mini-OS in Messages. Also, surely while all this is going on iPhone X is being worked on in the background.

5. iOS 11: Another major UI overhaul with tons of old affordances replaced, replacing Touch ID with Face ID, ANOTHER new screen size added with iPhone X.

iOS 1-3 were great because they did LESS. Its easy to forget that for example Apple used to outsource its mapping to Google. Now Apple needs an entire huge team JUST to have all the data it used to simply get access to. iOS used to also be more elegant because it did LESS -- remember, we couldn't even copy-paste before. These things add up, you can't go from supporting 1 device to 3 classes of devices with at least 4 variations on each and doubling the amount of apps you spit out and maintain without something having to give. And it's not just from a QA side either, the very nature of the phone has gotten more confusing: with every year, we've shoved more and more of the desktop's features into the phone, and as it turns out, there was no magic - if you want to be able to do 100 things, you may very well need 100 new code paths and a 100 overloaded hard-to-learn gestures. Maybe there existed an alternative path to the "dream" of a device as simple to use as iPhone 1 that let you do everything a desktop can, but we certainly won't know anytime soon.

Just think about it, you basically get 6 months of iOS N.0-N.6, then a WWDC where iOS N+1.0 Beta is announced, which of course has to entice people with M "new!" features, and the cycle begins again.

I usually read about the bugs but never experience them. I assume it's because I'm a super light phone user.

This time, using the camera on my SE from the lock screen randomly causes my phone to become un-unlockable and forces me to reset. It's really annoying not knowing which goofy thing my kids do I won't be able to photograph.
"the less globalization, the better."

This is definitely a thing, not only in the US but also from thinkers like Alexandr Dugin in Russia. I believe such reactionary political stances are ultimately doomed, though; we are simply not going to un-invent the internet, air travel, containerization and other things that have made the world smaller and allowed a single planetary scale logistical chain to exist, short of nuclear catastrophe or its equivalent.
> Every car company is working on electrics, and they have been for quite a while. The limitations were battery technology and cost, and battery technology with laptops and cell phones made electric cars practical.

The business model of established auto manufacturers is threatened by replacing chemical engines with electric motors. Tesla's arrival is not merely "executing faster on the production of electric motor+battery design" because they also serve as a disruptor for the business model here. They are just selling cars.
That quote is confusing and contradicting.
Good to hear about your experiences with keto. I do cyclic keto, going into ketogenic diet for periods and then coming back to "normal" (still relatively low carb). Cyclic keto has shown benefits, and it doesn't have the trade-offs of going full keto.

For people who struggle with symptoms of keto flu (ie, those ~3 days ramping up to the keto diet, and blood glucose is low but the body is not yet producing ketones in high levels) the drink could help alleviate this as people transition.

I have worked on a project with hundreds of people on it. But if I take the calculator example where you can’t add numbers together properly because of the animation lag, I doubt that more than one or two developers built that. Someone should have had the pride and passion to test that themselves, raise it and fix it. So either the organisation and culture is very bad at apple or the individuals don’t take enough responsibility. Maybe it’s both.
Joking aside, is there any hope of Linux doing anything else than just continuing to use C forever and using verbal abuse of patch submitters as the only safety layer?
As a filthy filthy hobo I can share my own reasons: nice weather, free college, interesting people, not too hard to find gig work, and surrounded by natural beauty. It's one of the best places to be homeless. Weather and ascetics are a big factor IMO. Even filthy hobos can enjoy the lawns of the Presido, the jagged hills of the city, the almost ominous, creeping fog, pregnant with mystery... and you know, the crack scene is totally popping.
Yes I've received job offers in developed countries under such schemes.

There might have technically been other minimal requirements like knowing English or the local language, but most people who fulfill the pay requirements will fulfill the minor requirements too if applicable.
This is essentially a limitation of the browser environment itself, not of WebExtensions. Allowing an extension to inject code into a web page gives that extension the ability to do anything that the page could do on its own, including exfiltrating data. I don't see any easy way to prevent this without severely limiting what the extension can do.
True, but the author of that article doesn't seem to understand that.

There were definite performance and battery life issues with 11.0 most of which were fixed with 11.1 and improvements are coming as well with 11.2. For me personally it's on par with iOS 10 for battery life.
I just wish now that the US government would kill the H1-B and all other immigrant visa and send us all home. I have spent 13 years here, I earn well over 200K, have a kid. But every 3 years, I have to renew my visa and pray and tell that there is no bullshit like RFE when visa is sent for renewal. And then the DMV drama begins as your DL expires, but your application is still not approved. When I came here, I had hope that the US government would make improvements to the immigrant system in good faith, considering all I heard from abroad was that this country is a "nation of immigrants". But it seems like the fancy thing to do these days is to blame every ill on immigrants.

Your proposal is a feel-good hurrah, but oversimplifies a few complex issues. No protections = Exploitation of workers. Instant green card = Increased competition for Housing/public services.

So unless you think that lowly-paid immigrants with limited access to social services is the best path forward, I'd advocate for some protections. I agree with no limits. If a company can provide for the workers, then go for it. Otherwise, the US barely has enough financial support/ safety net for the existing population. Opening the doors wide open would put stress on that already poor situation.
Try setting just "Animator duration scale" to 0.5x while leaving the others off. This will fix the camera problem, as well as makes things like closing apps in the "recent" list less janky, and you still get the rest of the benefit.
You're making a lot of good points IMP but it's hard to get away from the fatalist undertone in everything you're saying.

And honestly, to make it not be ugly would really only require some tasteful CSS, not a redesign or rewrite in some JavaScript framework.
You have it backwards. The postal service mounts their own cameras on the vans and then sells that data to companies wanting to build mapping applications.

I agree with voter suppression possibly being a factor. However, any narrative involving "tricking" gullible voters with fake ads is, again, playing to a very dark place in the minds of too many voters on the left. Instead of Russia tricking dumb rednecks into voting FOR Trump, it's tricking poor, helpless black people into NOT voting for Hillary.

Both narratives are virtually impossible to prove or disprove, which makes them perfect fodder for the wishful thinking of the liberal think tanks.

I find them to be highly insulting to the working class whites and blacks that they pertain to.

It is the height of condescension when comparatively wealthy people ascribe a high level of gullibility to people groups who they likely don't associate with. It's patronizing and dehumanizing, and honestly, smug.

I don't think it's an edge case: If an operator redesigns the interior of their fleet with large, comfortable reclining seats, long distance travel by road will become much more competitive with business-/first-class air travel. Boarding at my house and being dropped off at my destination and sleeping all the way (or working if you're a telecommuter, or watching movies) is quite appealing to me - the lack of TSA and/or Rapey-scan is a bonus

Few years back when I had to use OSX I tried to use native workspaces. The switch workspaces animation was already too long for me the first time. In Windows there are (were?) at least all those registry edits that one can do to do whatever one pleases. Also Windows has the adjust all visual effects for best performance setting. But I couldn't find anything for OSX.

An example of the way I use workspaces:

- one workspace for terminal, browser with documentation and some text editor

- second workspace for a full-blown IDE, another browser window with documentation and the developed application

It's funny that there are easy solutions to the cut scene problem. If user skips the cut scene there could be a little message that if you press some key the cut scene will replay. And/or give the list of all cut scenes to the point somewhere in the menu. But most of the time cut scenes are there to bring the cinematic experience and are easy and lazy thing to do...

> If you honestly believe the Executive in the US has this little influence on policy agenda,

Again, I never said that, or that he writes it directly himself. This is why I don't debate politics on the internet.

My point is the bill is primarily a congressional matter, and is not at the whims of just the president the way an executive order would be, as was suggested above.
Bringing out the iPhone X and the iPhone 8 at the same time is already a confusing marketing mess and something that never would have happened under Jobs.

Indeed, and it no doubt passed all the unit tests and was marked as good to ship.

But I suspect what they were lacking was an aggressive, adversarial QA specialist with the mindset of "how would a user break this in daily use".
In the US, there are many state laws regulating the ability of employers to schedule employee work hours. Whether or not they are applicable in your case will depend on your location.

I've got a PhD in math. I've been wondering this too. I remember that one of the institutions that accepted me, said, in the acceptance letter, that my offer was worth something like $60k a year ($20k in actual stipend and $40k in tuition I wouldn't be paying). That was good for a laugh then, but it would have actual meaning now.
