OK, so we have shown that inflation of Bitcoins would not be likely if they were in wide use. Have you considered deflation at all? Deflation is great if you're holding the currency to speculate, but not if it's running an economy.

My point is that your comparing progress by measuring the number of cities they're in is senseless, because at a certain point road data stops and simulations take over.

> But they also don't really have a good alternative that wouldn't lose them a lot of money in a time where, if they're not in the class that owns multiple houses, they're already struggling

These people are property owners in Berkeley, California. While I'm sure yarns can be spun about the difference between asset value and cash liquidity, this is just not an impoverished class, sorry. They've seen their property values go through the roof, then the trees, now through the first cloud layer into the open sky with eyes toward low orbit. Arguing that they don't have an "alternative" is a little spun.

To wit: cry me a river. Build those homes.

In the bay area renters vote in lockstep with landlords/homeowners.

This, and redlining, are the core of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s very compelling argument for reparations on the order of trillions in 2017 dollars.

Is there evidence that such a thing was at risk of happening? I know industry advocates commonly make the claim, but I haven't seen evidence.

IIRC, the court decision was to enable corporations to make political contributions based on their free speech rights as 'people'. How does that serve the purposes quoted above?

Generally I’ve noticed more bugs on High Sierra than on previous OSX releases. Things ranging from UI glitches to freezing safari to random slowdowns - all across multiple different machines.

Coupled with the security issues it’s clear that whoever is responsible for Q&A these days is asleep at the wheel.

It’s the reliability of the hardware and software that brought me to Apple back in the days of the G4.

Ironic that I may have to switch back to Windows since my work machine seems less buggier than my Mac!

Be careful about focusing on brain teasers during interview sessions. In the early days at Microsoft they focused heavily on brain teaser interviews, and hired what was quickly seen to be an incredibly smart bunch of devs BUT much later seen to be a highly concentrated monoculture that over indexed on one set of skills at the expense of bringing in team members with other strengths. It took a lot of work to break away from that monoculture driving interview style and get the full set of skills and capabilities the company actually needed.

Not all smart people play chess, or know every line of Dr Who dialog, or are Makers, or like brain teasers.

Wow, I didn't expect to bump into the notorious SWIM on an HN thread.
They also mentioned data monetization as an unspecified portion of those 20-30% margins. Robotaxis will gather a lot of data, around 4 terabytes a day. Enough to hypothetically run a real time virtual simulation of a city, if 1000s of sensor riddled robots are all prowling the streets, seeing, recognizing and classifying everything. I can think of all kinds of ways to monetize data like that, both good and terrible.

Ok my knowledge of tax is shaky at best, but this is confusing.

Timeline:

day 1: you buy bitcoin (or mine it and take tax as gross income), bitcoin is valued at $1k USD / bitcoin, you bought 1 bitcoin

day 10: you use the $100 in your debit card to buy many beers, bitcoin is valued at $1.1k USD / bitcoin

day 10 +15 minutes: something sells some of your bitcoin to replenish $100 in your debit card

You now have 10/11th of a bitcoin, valued at $1000 USD, plus $100 of taxable gain for which you probably need to pay the IRS like $15 or something. Or what's wrong in my timeline there?
Sure.

The facts are that David Mcclure is stepping down due to his long-term sexual harassement of women:

The same way I justify not having spent every cent I could spare buying BTC over the last eight years.

I mined hundreds of BTC in 2011 to 2012, and sold pretty much everything as I went. If I'd saved it all, I'd have "fuck you money" right now, but at the time even $100/BTC seemed like a moonshot.

I'm not going to beat myself up over not having prescient knowledge of BTC or any other thing I could have invested in.
I've heard many aws employees lament the global namespace of s3 bucket names. They think it's a mistake too.

My take on staying low impact would be to encourage single-story //above// ground development, and require underground spaces for each building (potentially shared), including parking.
65% of SF residents are renters. If renters did not vote in lockstep with landlords/homeowners and against developer interests, we could change the politics to allow more housing to be build and stop some of the more egregious abuses of existing processes.

It does not make sense for renters to vote against developer interests and for homeowner/landlord interests, as a supply constrained housing market increases rent.

Even if you have rent control, wouldn't it be nice if you could move out of your moldy unit into a new one or from a one bedroom into a two bedroom without breaking the bank? Or from Berkeley to Menlo Park if that is where you find a job, without loosing out in rent?
I don't understand this "free market always wins" argument. What if all companies agree on throttling a particular service like bittorent? What if all competitors are too expensive for me to choose them and my competitor is throttling a majority of the internet? What if I'm already in a 2 years plan and cannot leave my service without paying some extra? Do these reasons give my service right to intervene in my internet experience?

In the Epilogue of "Murmurs of Earth" (1978), Sagan writes:

"It is a difficult computer task to calculate what stars might by chance be along the Voyager spacecraft trajectories 50,000 or 100,000 years from now. Mike Helton of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory has attempted to make such a calculation. He calls attention in particular to an obscure star called AC+79 3888, which is now in the constellation of Ursa Minor -- the Little Bear, or Little Dipper. It is now seventeen light-years from the Sun. But in 40,000 years it will by chance be within three light-years of the Sun, closer than Alpha Centauri is to us now. Within that period, Voyager 1 will come within 1.7 light-years of AC+79 3888, and Voyager 2 within 1.1 light-years. Two other candidate stars are DM+21 652 in the constellation Taurus and AC-24 2833 183 in the constellation Sagittarius. However, neither Voyager 1 nor Voyager 2 will come as close to these stars as to AC+79 3888.

"Our ability to detect planetary systems around other stars is at present extremely limited, although it is rapidly improving. Some preliminary evidence suggest that there are one or more planets of about the mass of Jupiter and Saturn orbiting Barnard's star, and general theoretical considerations suggest that planets ought to be a frequent component of most such stars.

"If future studies of AC+79 3888 demonstrate that it indeed has a planetary system, then we might wish to do something to beat the odds set by the haunting and dreadful emptiness of space -- the near certainty that, left to themselves, neither Voyager spacecraft would ever plummet into the planet-rich interior of another solar system. For it might be possible -- after the Voyager scientific missions are completed -- to make one final firing of the onboard rocket propulsion system and redirect the the spacecraft as closely as we possibly can so that they will make a true encounter with AC+79 3888. If such a maneuver can be effected, then some 60,000 years from now one or two tiny hurtling messengers from the strange and distant planet Earth may penetrate into the planetary system of AC+79 3888."

We know so much more about exoplanets today than we did in Sagan's time, and have so much more computing power to bring to bear. Knowing the trajectory thrusters still work, it would be a fitting tribute to try one last interstellar bank shot into the corner pocket, and see if we couldn't honor Sagan's last wishes, and give the Voyagers a destination worthy of their journey and their cargo.

The problem is that someone who moves to the first type of place doesn't want to have to move again when it turns into the second type of place, and someone who moves to the second type of place doesn't want to move again when it turns into the third type of place. It's not entirely unreasonable.
I think what you describe is the main reason for a lack of sympathy for people with BPD. For people with other mental disorders, it's much easier to see how the person is suffering or negatively impacted by their illness. But it's often too difficult to see past one's own anger, frustration and annoyance to recognize that suffering in people with BPD.

I've had work experiences with BPD co-workers and ended up just needing to extricate myself from the situation for my own sanity rather than to try to help or do anything productive that could've made their situations improve. I always felt bad about it, but I just don't have the patience and fortitude to help in those situations.

So her best predictor of future job performance is number of typos on resume.

If the manager / CEO / businessy business person is holistically concerned with the health of the business and the software engineer is only concerned with their domain of expertise, they are relatively childish compared to that person that is expected to know enough about everything and sincerely takes it on.
