That's a complicated question to answer. Suburban sprawl certainly can work to get low or lower housing prices, but it has its own set of downsides.

Suburban sprawl tends to cement car-dominant infrastructure in an area, and eventually leads to a situation where more people are commuting by car into the principal city than the roads can handle, but mass transit is not a feasible solution because most of the area has too low density to support the stations (and the people who live out there are now set in a car-only way and won't support his change). This also helps make people fat as hell.

Suburban sprawl is less environmentally friendly: takes more energy as a lifestyle, and necessarily means cutting more into nature to build homes.

Suburban sprawl tends to be financially unsustainable. The Strong Towns blog goes into this more if you're interested, but the gist of it is that sprawly development means more miles of road, power lines, water lines, etc. per person, without a commensurate increase in tax revenue. It works okay at first, but then thirty, forty, fifty years down the line when things need to be replaced, there's not enough money to do so.

Ask HN: What is the best “to do” list app/website?
What is your favorite to do list app/website/whatever and why?

I am looking to improve my daily workflow and need to keep track of long- as well as short-term tasks for clients, systems etc. pp.

I don´t need project management, I just need to have them in view, sync them on several devices, mark tasks as completed and assign them to specific projects (a tag "client X" would be enough)...

Right now I am using a trello board to keep track of that, but that does not really work out, as I can´t easily (ok, there might be a plugin for that) distinguish between long- and short-term tasks...

So... What do you use and why? I think I just need to get a better overview over the possibilities...

Thanks!
While a lot of Central/Eastern European countries are wary of this having had history with pervasive surveillance under the Soviets, many are also very nationalistic and right-wing.

All it takes is some demagoguery and opportunism to convince the populace that it is in their interests, like what has happened in the UK and US.

> If we build new upmarket housing, then upper middle class people move there and lower middle class people stay in existing housing.

If the Mission were a closed population, I would agree with you. However, there's a pool -- or rather an ocean -- of people on the housing market: people in different parts of the SF, people looking to move to the bay, etc. If the upper middle class in the Mission got new housing, I don't see the landlords dropping rent prices so the lower middle class can afford it, when someone from one town over is willing to pay the same or even +10% over their competition.

> Building a lot of both is the only reasonable way forward.

I agree with you here. I think new housing supply should meet demand across the market. My guess is that _new_ housing supply could be 10x what it is now in the bay.

There's something about the housing market in general that's different from typical goods markets. People buying a car don't care as much about depreciation, whereas people buying a house expect it to appreciate as much as possible over time. It's some kind of positive feedback mechanism that counters the typical negative-feedback that lowers price as supply meets demand. There's probably a name for this kind of market but I'm unfamiliar with it.
It is a kind of "civilised" that's increasingly hard to achieve in our squashed lives. I did actually move house a good way north in the UK simply to have more space for things including a permanent dining table. But like most things you can also make it happen under suboptimal conditions if you really want. Folding tables and chairs is one way. Back as students we would sometimes all eat together in a single-bedroom room even if that required people to sit on the floor with a plate in their lap. Another option might be a picnic in a public space (horribly weather-dependent but good fun).
Ashkenazi Jews have an average IQ of 108-112 compared to a European average of ~100. This shifted mean means they have a much higher percentage of very smart people (~6 times per capita rate of >140iq which is the norm for Nobel prize winners)

This over representation of high IQ is similar to the historical over representation in Nobel prizes for hard sciences.

If you have a one dimensional line, you can use a 1 dimensional value x to represent its position. If you add a second input, y, and instead say that your position on the line is x+y, the line is still one dimensional, even though y changes how the value x is perceived. (Because the point x,y can still be represented with a single value z where z=x+y)

There are three colour receptors, so colour is 3 dimensional to us. That the surrounding context shifts where that 3d point falls in the colour space doesn't create more colours, it just shifts the perceived colour around the colour space. In your strawberry example, the gray and red already exist in the 3d colour space. The context did not create these, it just shifted our perception a little off the point in the colour space that the pixel value alone would have placed it.

Similarly, if I wear sunglasses, the darkness doesn't add another dimension, it just shifts all the values a bit in a direction that makes them darker.

Note: I'm not actually arguing that there are only 3 dimensions of colour (although our three receptors would suggest it), as I don't know enough about it. I'm just pointing out a flaw in your logic.

As a former LSAT tutor, I can tell you that 158 isn't humblebragging for a journalist. Most of my tast-taking students were in the 150s before tutoring. I was a test prep tutor for other tests for a few years before I added the LSAT to my repertoire. Most students had no idea how to set up charts or mental pictures for the logic problems. While I understood this aspect right away, I needed to work on speed before I helped anyone else. Later in life, when learned how to code, I realized that coders would do well at this section. If I'd known how to code back then, I'd have used algorithmic thinkg techniques to help students improve their LSAT score.

> Think of it this way: as soon as someone else has an automated fleet, Uber is finished unless it has its own. This is an existential requirement.

But the converse is not true, i.e. even if Uber is the first large scale company operating autonomous cars, this is by no means a guarantee for success. This is where the whole "betting on Uber" investment scheme kind of falls flat in my opinion: even if all goes according to plan, Uber does not have anything special (since by that time, autonomous driving will be open to its competitors, too). They probably bet on "hacking" the regulatory process to allow only their cars for a certain period, but this merely delays the issue of competition a bit.

In the .NET universe, demand seems to continue to grow in the UK, especially in the CMS landscape.

However, demand for lower-paying jobs using open-source CMS's like Umbraco seems to be rising, whereas the rates for contractors are rising for the enterprise level choices like Sitecore.

I mention contractor rates because in Bristol companies are struggling to keep experience in full-time development. For Umbraco, we're seeing the space grow with more full-time people, whereas if you're a developer that can work with Sitecore you can earn a LOT more by moving into contracting. Developers are going from £40-50k roles into £550-600 a day roles as contractors, earning over double what they were before. It's also lucrative for recruiters, as they get a percentage of a bigger overall salary.

Sure, it's fairly niche, and it's as unglamorous as it gets, but the work is there if you know this proprietary CMS as it is widely used by a number of large businesses based on its marketing platforms.
You have it backwards. Excessive government regulation is what keeps prices high in the first place. Asking for upzones to allow more housing necessarily means loosening current regulations that are very restrictive.

From elsewhere:

> Root Cause: A configuration issue impacted IP services in various markets across the United States.

> Fix Action: The IP NOC reverted a policy change to restore services to a stable state.

> Summary: The IP NOC was informed of a significant client impact which seemed to originate on the east coast. The IP NOC began investigating, and soon discovered that the service impact was occurring in various markets across the United States. The issue was isolated to a policy change that was implemented to a single router in error while trying to configure an individual customer BGP. This policy change affected a major public peering session. The IP NOC reverted the policy change to restore services to a stable state.

> Corrective Actions: An extensive post analysis review will be
conducted to evaluate preventative measures and corrective actions that can be implemented to prevent network impact of this magnitude. The individual responsible for this policy change has been identified.

Elaborated lies often show a glimpse of truth shinning through. The sharks history is interesting if we take it as a metaphore.

The history makes more sense if you change "sharks" for "Human sharks". Real sharks never train their sharklings, they'll try to eat them instead. "Sharks are training their kids with us" would be a revealing phrase in this sense about the women knowing the identity of their expected persecutor, probably young or middle aged, that could be closer of the ship and would scan for any electronic help emission (to reach the area and take drastic measures or even sink the ship before the arrival of other external help).

Why to shut all electronic emissions if you are lost at open water?; maybe because you know that you are being hunted and try to hide at sea.

Why to deliberately avoid nearest ports and inhabited areas?; because you know they are surveilled. You will be detected if try to approach to the nearest islands.

They planned the travel with some months in antelation, maybe because you can't buy a huge amount of food in a single take without being suspicious and reported.

Maybe for some places of the world, the quantity of food needed in a ship should be measured as: food needed to escape from the influence area of the local smuggler lord in charge and reach a safe airport or continent.

The position of ships in the sea are continuously registered by electronic emissions. If authorities can take a look to this data in the first days after the ship quitting the port, could even have a list of hypothetical hunters.

In the US most tracks are owned by freight rail companies so they nearly always get priority over Amtrak.

De-prioritizing passenger rail is going to result in shittier service, which will result in fewer passengers which will naturally result in a lower farebox recovery ratio.

Are you arguing that because the passenger rail service is shitty and people aren't riding that the service should be kept shitty?

Neat. As a Firefox user, it appears that this does the trick:

sqlite3 ~/.mozilla/firefox/$YOUR_PROFILE_ID/places.sqlite "SELECT datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch'),url FROM moz_historyvisits JOIN moz_places ON place_id=moz_places.id ORDER BY visit_date DESC" > hist.txt

(Looks like the timestamp is in UTC here.)

Does the original post's code perhaps count two visits to the same URL as one? Something like

SELECT datetime(visit_time/1000000-11644473600,'unixepoch'),urls.url
FROM visits JOIN urls ON visits.url=urls.id
ORDER BY visit_time DESC;

might be worth a try.

Not everything is well in Germany.

The "Stern", one of the big German magazines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stern_(magazine), took a big nosedive in quality in my opinion.

3 or 4 years ago (i am not sure when this exactly happend) they did a "redesign" - and since then many hard topics and inconvienient stories where left behind for soft topics and lifestyle articles.

I really enjoyed reading it but right now I won't bother most of the time.

They even changed their, in my opinion hilarious, but sarcastic album reviews to album reviews which sound like a rehash of the PR text from the record company.

The most important thing is the picture of the lead journalists at the end of the story and how they "connect to this story". And the guy who writes 3 pages about his cooking. And the boring "I am so edgy and showing two sides of my personality" PR interview with a celebrity. Yesterday I've read one of these interviews with the question "do you enjoy wearing suits?"

To be fair, sometimes they still have well made articles, but many times it is just boring feel-good-journalism.

That he was selected for this job is a fault of Congress, for imposing caps on government employee numbers (and salaries), but not contractors, during the greatest period of SIGINT expansion in history (also authorised by Congress), and then outsource their vetting to the cheapest bidder. Oh, and have a President that creates a secret law for side stepping the Constitution.

Of course, given a defective Congress, what should the IC have done? Limit their use of computers? Stop sharing information? Encrypt everything on servers and decrypt client side via special hardware? Have someone watch the admins as if they are all wannabe traitors? Disperse honeypot systems and canary docs everywhere? Tripwire the heck out of every system? Fit explosive collars on systems administrators?

Well, all those things and more have now been contemplated. Everything except 'stop collecting'.
Property developers in the city where I live are deliberately deceptive about this.

They buy a large plot of land near the coastline, build condos on the far land side of it, and sell the condos advertising "bay views". Once the first block is sold out, they build the next one in front of it closer to the coastline, and sell more "bay views".

It's crazy how they can get away with advertising the view even if construction on a building that will block the view has already started.
