The first link was a delight to read!

It does mention that it has a strong elasticity for demand. Particularly higher for medium+ income. Since its very hard to measure future elasticity of demand (i.e. SF now known to be expensive, if housing was built agressively and it became "famously cheaper" demand could be even higher) its possible that prices wouldnt go down much.

The correct answer to the OP's concerns is that the goal is not to lower rents, but to increase the total utility: you do that by providing more and better housing. New buildings at same rate for the same amount of people is still better. And naturally, same rate and more people is also better.

There's no doubt that San Francisco needs a massive shock to the supply curve.
Yup. Also WHILE/WEND loops and some basic error control with ERROR (raise), ON ERROR (capture).

BASIC certainly had it's faults but it was a reasonably complete language. However it can't have helped the number of different dialects there were in the 70s and 80s. Each brand of consumer electronics seemed to ship with a subtly different list of statements which meant I think lead people to often stick with the core basics of, erm, BASIC.

> The Economist is terrible. It's just the same neo-liberal slant on everything

That's a really common prejudice, and not born out by the actual paper, in my view. As just one example, in the US presidential elections, The Economist has endorsed G W Bush, but then Kerry, Obama, Obama, and Clinton.

It's still the best newspaper around, in my view, for concise, opinionated updates on a wide range of global issues.

FT is better than WSJ, but that's not saying much.

Guardian has some good reporting, and is worth supporting, though I disagree with some of their editorialising.
It doesnt even have to be leaked when they are sharing raw data with the Israelis, a country just as active in espionage against the US as China or Russia.
> When you exit the train station in most of the above countries, you are greeted with a properly air-conditioned/heated waiting hall, delicious food, hotels within walkable distance, and buses/subway to anywhere you would need to go.

Are you thinking of regional or long haul service? My experience was that the regional/commuter stations (RER, RENFE Cercanias) weren't particularly extravagant. Air conditioning, in my experience, is much less of a thing in Europe than the US.

In terms of American stations, Boston's Back Bay station (well, the platform for the commuter rail) is just gross. It's hot, dark, and sooty due to the diesel trains. IMO the San Francisco, and to some extent the rest of the Bay Area, does pretty well by American standards. Powell station has underground access to a variety of shops and whatnot, the SF ferry terminal is its own little posh mall, and even BART's latest mistake, the Warm Springs station, is actively being targeted for complementary development. Even Marin has the multi-modal station right in downtown San Rafael with a bunch of restaurants and shops within a two block radius.

I took my first eight years of math in Hungary; admittedly, some time ago. Though I'm not sure if things have changed since then, or were different at higher levels, the way the article describes it very much reflected my experience. Starting out, there was a balanced mix of rote learning the basics (as it was done in other subjects), then moving towards creativity and gradual, independent rediscovery, and it was done so in a way that didn't feel stifling if you somehow knew to do it a different way.

Ultimately it's a small country; there was a math bee you could compete in at a local level, and then your district would send the best representatives to the countrywide event. It was a prestigious event, and pretty stressful, but ultimately fun. The questions asked at the national competition were always really oddball and obscure and required both creativity and judicious use of everything you've learned.

Come think of it, the culture of the competitions in various subjects made school really fun.

Some other aspects of my primary school education in Hungary were not so stellar. In other subjects, there was very much a focus on facts in isolation, without really understanding or delving into context, notably in History. Literature I also found limiting, as much emphasis was placed on poetry analysis, which I found to be subjective; nonetheless, diverging from commonly accepted analyses was did not result in a good mark. When I came to the US, I found an emphasis on critical thinking in the Humanities, which was a breath of fresh air.

But in math and science, the quality and method of instruction in Hungary was top-notch.
Resisting immigration of a particular demographic, one that arguably contributes most to the coffers of the said welfare state, is well within epistemological domain of the word 'xenophobia'.

> Tunnels are more important than Uber or self driving cars

> “Without tunnels we’ll be in traffic hell forever” -Elon Musk

Public transport solves all the problems tunnels solve as well. Tunnels don’t change the fact that cars (self-driving or not) are still an incredibly inefficient use of space when they’re all going in the same direction to the same place.

I tried them both and (probably obviously as a programmer) find Anvil faster to work with. Some things are really fast in the visual environment, but when you are stuck, getting code out is really convenient. I do like both approaches.
Yes, and all of these things change. You didn't buy the right to freeze time.
Why is Hungarian math so forward looking but not the other subjects? Is Hungary especially good at math?
I really wish JavaScript had goto statements, because it would make it less of a hassle to make code generators that target it.

Before the new block scoping constructs (which I assume would make implementing goto more complicated), was there anything preventing JavaScript from having gotos, other than an authoritarian "we know better than you"?

At least JavaScript has labeled blocks that you can break out of!
Agree. Why do companies pay massive taxes - do they use massive amounts of public services ? No!

Also the article calls not paying more taxes than you have to "theft".

Others may view getting the bejezuz taxed out of your corporation as the real theft that is going on.

In either event, the real issue is that countries compete with their tax rates for company HQ's - the USA has been very uncompetitive for a long time, while places like Ireland and Hong Kong ans Singapore have been very competitive. When you lose the competitive game, don't shout moral outrage, up your game.

The Actual ARM license and IP, is relatively tiny in overall cost of the chip. It is a very small amount of money for time to market and ecosystem.

ARMv8 ( Specifically the aarch64 part ) is like a clean start. I doubt RISC-V offer any advantage, especially we should now know the uArch is only tiny part of the equation, the implementation matters a lot.

Apart from the fear of lock in or ARM suddenly hike the price 100x, what exactly is the benefits and motives for RISC-V?

Or is this more of NIH Syndrome?
As for the web development the situation currently stabilized as an oligopoly between Facebook (React) and Google (Angular). Some projects are trying Vue, some leftover ones with Backbone, Meteor here and there, but it's overall a minor share.

It's difficult to generalize, but by pretty much any metric you choose Hungary produced a massively disproportionate share of the outstanding mathematicians of the twentieth century.
I wonder if the C-bashers were saying something similar when Lisp machines were reigning unchallenged.
When you use this approach, you generally cover less material, but cover it better. For most classes, this seems like a good tradeoff.

4 classes isn't really that much. You can essentially replace the time students would normally spend "studying" with them spending that time working on the problems. Further, in my experience, this type of work is far more engaging than traditional studying, so it is easier for students to spend time on it; and the time they do spend tends to be more thoughtfull.
It doesn't seem to you that AGI is impossible?
There are, unfortunately, a lot of things between on and off when it comes to utility power. Over voltage, voltage drop (which can cause fuses to blow since amperage goes up), phase outage, phase imbalance, harmonic noise (causing ground/neutral feedback), micro outages (few cycles; <50ms). All of which can confuse systems such as a transfer switch, ups, generators or paralleling gear.

Most downtime I've seen in datacenters has been due to irregular power, not power loss. Case in point.

Dummy loads are good for testing but they are not typically variable - if you had 2.5mva generators and a 1mw dummy load you wouldn't be able to run more than 1mw of critical IT load.

I'll say this is the first I've heard of not having enough load to start a generator. They will happily start up and idle.
> , the value created or destroyed by a change in laws never belonged to the owner in the first place

That's not really true. The state can't pass a law saying your house was actually never yours and you are now trespassing get out.

Zoning is a rulebook the state invented, it has to be held accountable to some degree for it. I wouldn't call it reasonable for the state to turn the houses around you into garbage landfills and telling you 'tough luck'
I think the crucial point here is really that uber's two-party networks are city-wide.

I believe history and literature are sensitive subjects politically, hence the official ways of teaching it are somewhat limiting (intentionally). However, most teachers I had contact with/heard of are exceptionally good, so I guess it comes down to luck.

That's a bit dismissive way to put it. "The whims of 20-something newcomers". A lot of of these people are people who grew up and went to high school here but as the article says anecdotally that 2 of 400 high school graduates from one class are in the same area, the rest having been forced to abandon their native home because of housing rules preventing construction.

Also the word "whim" is just as dismissive to a group of people who are organizing, lobbying, petitioning, etc to get the right to build apartment buildings so they have a place to live and sleep and raise children. It's not a bunch of millennial google employees who just showed up and casually decided they want to buy a house.

But it's so easy to turn this into a "entitled millennials" story instead of discussing a real housing crisis that has been developing for the last 50 years due to restrictive building codes that favor the wealthy I suppose.
Great post for a quick read! You could maybe have taken your google searches from within the URL and Stack Overflow question titles and done word frequency analysis and maybe learned what languages you code in most often/what type of problems you have most as well. Good intro for a quick read though.
While if done properly, this isn't in and of itself evil, it leads to a slippery slope. Larry Niven wrote stories of a future where the organ banks were always empty, and the population voted the death penalty in for lesser and lesser crimes.

My mother always says 'pastry is an exact science, cooking is a liberal art'.

Tesla doesn't publish it's costs but based on what they've said it is a reasonable estimate[0] Cells in bulk are below 150[1]

7 cents per kwh is a very common industrial rate.[2] Maybe it is a bit low but it's a lot more reasonable than one of the highest residential rates in the country ($.2/kwh).

Let's say 5000lb for batteries + cooling/wires. Semi's routinely have (200gallons *7) 1400lb in fuel or more and a ~500 hp ~3000lb diesel engine. I don't know what the electric equivalent would weigh exactly but Tesla's 362 hp motor is 70lb. Let's say a 500hp one weighs 500lb. 5000+500 - 1400 - 3000 = 1,100. Tractor weights are around 15-20k so ~5-7% weight increase with a pretty generous estimate for cooling/wires and engine weight assuming rest of the drive train is identical.

I think this approach is better suited to lower level schooling, where kids already spend several years learning and practicing a small number of concepts. Instead of making them do countless calculations and mechanical problems, invest some of that time in abilities that will actually stick with them and be useful in the future.
> And DEC alpha.

I really wish all these "open source" chips would just steal the DEC Alpha microarchitecture and implement it. It's been almost 20 years--even the patents on EV7 should have run out by now.

It was a really clean, mostly orthogonal microarchitecture that had most of the really annoying implementation corners filed down. EV5 is a very straightforward chip and maps very well to low power implementations (see StrongARM). EV6 is pretty straightforward in modern technology nodes.

And, best of all, it's documented. Compilers exist. Operating systems exist. Old hardware exists that can be used for validation and initial development. It wouldn't require you to build an entire ecosystem up front in order to bootstrap.
The website says "teachers and working families." Seems to me that that working families catches a decent chunk of the population. Single people will still benefit because with increased supply in another area will reduce the demand for regular apartments.
Apples & Oranges.

Although Rust heavily borrows from the ML family, the fact it has mutability and imperative reasoning makes it hard to compare them.

But if you want a short one:

- Sum Types EDIT: AND Product Types (silly me)

- function-objects & closures

- typeclasses (as far as I can tell), but no higher kinded types

- no monads, functors nor monoids built-in

- trait objects (eg. runtime polymorphism, think "abstract classes")
So Uber's new CEO is talking about the transition time and Uber's value during that time. Makes sense!

The original comment was wondering why should Uber invest in building Autonomous Driving at all.

And I am suggesting that once we have true autonomous driving (all conditions), and if Uber doesn't have it - Uber has not reason to exist at all.
I've been running multiple SearX instances for goodness knows how long and this has never happened to me. I'm not aware of this happening either.

SearX uses multiple sources for queries, so you'd have to be banned by quite a few search engines to stop it being useful.

Also relevant is filtron[1], an application firewall built-in to SearX that rate limits searches.

Share of new projects being spun up in Angular is probably on a serious decline as well. I don’t see too much future potential there. React will probably dominate for the immediate future.
In R, an inadequate one, but that’s not R’s goal.

You can pass rent controls as a separate measure. But I think adding high-end apartments will still open up some of the regular apartments and lower prices.
I would say it's always been a bit of a self-affirming, self-fulfilling trope among Hungarians that Hungarians are good at math and science. Some of it is founded in history, and some of it is (make-believe) national mythos.

I'm not saying this isn't true, but I take stories like this with a grain of salt. Every now and then, you'll have someone claiming that they got a 170+ with no practice on TLS or reddit. Since the LSAT is multiple choice, even a completely random outcome has a nonzero chance of scoring a perfect 180.

I'd argue that what makes the LSAT difficult isn't the raw difficulty but rather the time management. Most people could probably do decent on it if they had as long as they needed, but the fact that you need to pick the best answer in like 2-3 minutes when the question is like two paragraphs long makes it very unlikely that a neophyte will score well. Once you study it, you learn to look for certain things and only end up skimming questions for the key information. Without having ever seen the test, you will most likely do what any sensible person would do: read the question carefully, read every potential answer carefully, come up with your answer, eventually run out of time, and blindly guess on the last 5 questions on every section.
Nope, this operator will always evaluate to false. Show me any pair of numbers, which is not NaN, which will be at the same time, equal, smaller, and greater. Of course I can imagine such a set, and operations... (I have a little bit of a mathematical background) but for programming it will be quite useless.

SCALABILITY, CONTROL, AND ISOLATION ON NEXT-GENERATION NETWORKS
Musk doesn't really care about the shareholders. He has a vision, and the company is the embodiment of that vision. The only reason he took the company public in the first place was for access to capital, and the ability for employees to sell stock.

Since the eighties there has been this maximal version of shareholder value, where the only reason for a company to exist is to maximize returns to shareholders. This was promulgated by private equity firms who would take over a firm and destroy many of the good things that a company was doing that didn't generate profits in order to increase returns to shareholders. Prior to the PE hostile takeover boom, there was a general understanding that shareholders were very important, but not the only stakeholder in a corporation.

If you invest in Tesla though, don't count on the corporate raider philosophy of stock ownership. They may have been able to get other companies in line with the threat of a hostile takeover, but Tesla has protective provisions that make it nearly impossible to do a hostile takeover of Tesla. For better or worse, Tesla is whatever Elon Musk wants it to be. If you're a shareholder, you're just along for the ride.
