I actually did this on a old laptop, setup 200mb of swap for 4gb of ram.

And it caused huge problems for me, would run out of swap while having plenty of free memory and then go cripplingly slow.

The reason I have a lower rent figure is that rents haven't gone up as quickly, as much of the new construction has been focused on rental stock.

It turns out they send you to these handy classes so you know all the rules that let you stay employed. And they send you over and over again, because (as Damore proves), some of their employees are slow learners.
I'm having the same issue. Just bought a Google Home in December and my Verizon quantum router has been dropping repeatedly. I've had a Chromecast and Nexus 6P for years and never had any issues with it. I'm glad I finally discovered the issue, thanks to this article!
Hasn't the Chinese government been clamping down more and more on "capital flight"? I read articles a few years ago how that [capital flight] was driving up rents in some markets. However, I imagine that would only have some impact in the so called "hot investment cities", but not /nationwide/. Any idea what the macroeconomic causes are?
"Tron" is just a sound generically associated with futuristic high tech, most likely originally because of the word "electron".

From OED: "tron" is "used in the names of devices and machines, spec. particle accelerators, as cyclotron (1935), betatron (1941), phantastron (1943), levitron (1960)."

> According to the detailed description of lemon production in Harold G.
Powell (1908), the production of lemons in nineteenth century Sicily
started with the sowing of bitter orange seeds in spring in small seed
beds under the bearing lemon trees. After one year from the seeding, the
small trees were transplanted in small clumps at a distance of about 60
cm from each other. When the plant reached a height of almost a meter,
the tree was transplanted to the groves at 3–4 meters of distance from
each other.

Curious. Wouldn't those still have been bitter orange trees? Perhaps the authors left out a step where the bitter orange trees were cut down and their rootstocks used for grafting on shoots from the lemon trees? If so, I wonder why they were planted near a lemon tree to begin with — to acclimate them to lemon wood or something?

Well, if the dumbwaiter idea is feasible, you'd just put the dirty laundry in the dumbwaiter, tell the dumbwaiter that it's dirty laundry (maybe provide further classification like "this is a white towel" or "this is a pair of blue jeans"), and wait for notifications from the dumbwaiter system to know when you can ask the dumbwaiter for your laundry back. Wondering if you could even build some kind of camera and some kind of clear washer and dryer that could track individual pieces of laundry such that the laundry of multiple tenants could be washed together to reduce wait times.

Considering the trend for new construction is to have luxury housing, while problematic in general for much-needed affordable housing, maybe it represents an opportunity to develop a system like this, whereby a developer installs the dumbwaiter in the walls, sets up a dumbwaiter floor, and is the primary investor in a startup that builds out the dumbwaiter tech. As the developer builds out more buildings, and the dumbwaiter can do more things, buyers will pay more for units with the dumbwaiter, and the developer can possibly even license out the dumbwaiter tech to other developers.
I use DD-WRT so there won't be a router update to fix this.

Neat trick using “list_for_each” to shorten a verbose for loop that’s nearly always the same. Although it did make me do a double take. And since it’s hiding control flow, it would make ‘break’ and ‘continue’ look out of place. Is this a common convention and you just kind of get used to it?
I remember not being able to SSH on the box too, but this stopped be the case (for me at least) some five years ago - I was able to login to heavy swap trashing boxes without any problem.

That sorta sounds great... if you're a bachelor. I doubt my SO would be very impressed if I ditched the cupboards for another dishwasher.
It's Google, there are literally thousands of open heads at any time. If the white guy passed the hiring bar, they'd hire the woman, the "colored" as you put it, AND the white guy.

Then they'd offer them recruiting bonuses if any of their friends were good recruiting leads.

> We can redistribute value to the people who actually contribute the most value in the network.

Actually that is how I envision people becoming self-reliant in a post-job society. Being jobless and with little money means you got: 1. free time, and 2. needs to fulfil. But jobless people are not without skills - we don't suddenly forget everything we learned when we lose our jobs. There's plenty of skilled people with time and a motive to work.

So why not get services in exchange for services, from jobless person to jobless person? In order to do that we'd need a "human coin". Humans can make a lot of what they need directly - grow food, build houses, repair cars, supervise and educate kids, make clothes. These services should be obtained in the service-for-service system, without money. It leads to a more self-reliant society that doesn't depend on state money, or worse, on transferring money from corporations to people - we all know it's going to be hard to part corporations from their money in the name of social good.

UBI is demeaning and robs people of agency, self-reliance is the exact opposite. Using a "human coin" we could create a marketplace of skills and services without corporate money. Self-reliance should exist at all levels - personal, family, social group, city and country. Each level should be as self-reliant as possible, reducing the need for international commerce and dependence on external factors. When self reliance reaches 100% there would be almost no need to use money, perhaps just for raw materials, so we should be researching new materials that are plentiful and can be produced locally.
You would have to ask them. Speaking for myself, I think a few minutes of acting however I wish, even at great peril, might be very tempting compared to living longer as a craven little mouse scurrying from hole to hole. Not sure what I'd choose until I were in the moment of course, but the example seems sufficient to point out that the diametric opposite conclusion is possible.

> I can vacuum my floor by myself

If you're in the HN demographic that likes to live in small urban apartments then you may not see value in automated vacuuming, but believe me they are filling a need for many people. My 68 year old mom decided to get one last year, prompted by discussions with several of her friends. She loves it so much that she's become something of a Roomba evangelical - last I checked she's talked 4-5 other people into getting one, and they all love them.

I don't even have a large house (~1200 sq ft), but I do have a cat. The whole ordeal of vacuuming probably took me at least 45 min to an hour every week, and often it didn't get done weekly. Getting a Roomba was amazing for me. It runs on a schedule twice a week, and I only spend a couple minutes dumping its dustbin.
Good note. I mentioned the getter but didn't explain it, I should probably have done so.

I have same experience, it works for me all the time.
In the end this would work if one ditched all of the cupboards for dishwashers.
It’s also worth looking at what materials you are buying. Typically clothes made from natural fibres breath better, which reduces moisture and odors. Merino wool is especially good for this, so you can wear it longer between washes.
Yes, I still play games in short bursts - trick is to plan time for games and stick to that time limit.

I only buy and play games that can be enjoyed in short bursts.

If you have trouble sticking to a time limit, and want to do something more productive, then maybe you are better off doing what you are doing for a while and stay clear of them.

It also fails to consider that being less punitive than other states may have led the poor of America to move there. If that's the case, generous welfare policies may not be creating poverty as the article suggests, just shifted it around.
Yep, question is will they be able to update the prevalent system while doing their rent seeking or just succumb to the same problems that plague the system now.
We've had a Rumba for some time. In the early days it was used regularly, now almost never. I don't know why, but I find that 5 minutes with a manual vacuum achieves a far better result than watching the Rumba bash it's way around the room for 30 minutes or more.
Well Netflix's android app is pretty bad period.

>Autonomous cars incentivize car use, which increases traffic.

Don't you have this backwards? Cars driven by fallible humans need lots of separation to avoid collision but cars driven by computers should get by with thinner lanes closer together and less room between cars. Cars driven by fallible humans have to stop at stoplights creating backups that restrict flow whereas cars driven by computers probably don't need to do as much of that - they can coordinate and interleave instead. Cars driven by computers don't have to circle the block looking for a nearby parking place (this factor alone accounts for a substantial fraction of peak city driving), which also means we could convert some downtown street parking into extra traffic lanes. Cars driven by computers don't create freeway traffic jams due to clumsy lane merging or due to the drivers rubbernecking at accident scenes.

In short, switching from mostly human drivers to mostly autonomous drivers should substantially increase road capacity. We should be able to get at least several times as many cars - possibly 10x or more - in the same amount of road area. (Over time I'd expect road area to shrink.)
Do China's 70 year land leases not function as an equivalent to a property tax?
Well, this certainly explains why my wifi has been feeling pretty iffy for the last couple of weeks.

There was an awful lot of mDNS traffic coming from the (new to me) Google Home, and the two android phones, and mythtv (0.27) was sending every couple of seconds too. Running this tcpdump helped me track it down.

tcpdump -n host 224.0.0.251 and port 5353

For the google home, I just turned it off; does anybody know of an offline voice activated clock/timer? That's the most compelling use for me. (yo clock, what time is it and/or you clock set a timer for 3 minutes / set an alarm for 5:30)

For the phones, in settings / google / cast media controls, you can turn that off, I also turned off 'nearby links' in the google menu, in case that was related.
Wholeheartedly agree. These companies most likely are trying t o understand the 'why' behind your algorithm choices. Of course, there are exceptions but largely this is the case. Understanding the why only comes to you, if you really understand the algorithms and are able to map those algorithms to use cases.

Depends on the size of the floor. In my house it would take half an hour to do everything by hand, but just one minute to start the robovac.

I use a Xiaomi Mi which has more "smarts" than a Roomba.
Believe me, I'm more than aware of the negative side effects and potential dangers (especially with Xiidra, which is a new medication without long term studies). Xiidra is costing me about $200 a month, after insurance. But in my case it was literally the last ditch measure, because I had tried everything my ophthalmologist suggested as well as every "home remedy" out there. (When you have severe dry eyes stuff like yawning is not going to help.)

For me, Xiidra has been the only thing that's given me relief. The side effects have been fairly minimal (stinging for a minute or two, somewhat blurry vision for up to 20 minutes) and my life is mostly back to normal now. But the cost and lack of long term studies of the medication prevent me from recommending it unless you and your ophthalmologist have determined that there are no better options.

Some things to note as a seattleite:

Just because rent is decreasing on the high end doesnt mean it’s decreasing on the low end apartments.

Apartments are built to a less restrictive code than condos. There aren’t many condos being built in seattle from reading other articles. Similarly there’s much debate about building more homes / townhomes / improving transit.

Amazon supposedly had a hiring freeze recently, and close by (in SLU) I’ve seen folks dancing with “now leasing” signs.
One life hack I’ve seen and always wondered about that gets you close is having two dish washers and using them as your cupboard. You use stuff from the clean one and put away into the dirty one. Once the dirty one is full, run it and switch directions.
Oh, come on. I think you are exaggerating quite a bit here. This is a single pass/no pass unit out of 180 units required for graduation, and, as a Stanford CS student, I can assure you the other classes are extremely rigorous. I don't see a problem with a one-unit class designed to help build confidence and demonstrate your skills to an interviewer. If you think that such a class shouldn't be necessary, then blame the current interview system, not all of higher education. Higher education has its problems, but this is hardly grounds to claim it's in "steep decline."
I've got to say that I agree. We've been caring for three of our sisters kids recently. They are absolutely mesmerized by the ipads. To the point that you could drop a stack of dishes next to them and they would barely register.

Taking them to the museum is a exercise in frustration when you find that they ignore any chance to play with the dinosaur bones or look at the solar system models. Present them with a screen and they are captured. I was shocked to see them staring at a monitor that had a scrolling error message on it.. I don't think they are brain damaged, but you would not know it to see them anyware near a tv or monitor. It seems that they have little ability to process the world if it is not presented on a screen.
For those that haven't heard of TRON, it is what I would call one of the most successful scams in the history of cryptocurrency. It is a currency that was made on top of Ethereum (thus, it took no actual effort to create, as this can be done instantly and for free), paired with a significant amount of hype and lies to investors.

The TRON Whitepaper (what investors are 'supposed' to read and invest off of) is written terribly and copies significantly from other successful projects: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/7oeh92/trons_trx...

It's possible that the CEO of TRON made at least $300M USD from selling his own coins that he created out of thin air: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/7oh01s/trx_tron_...

The CEO tweets in ways specifically designed to entice investors to speculate on his coin, such as specifically telling people it will go up in value: https://twitter.com/justinsuntron/status/947463313775927297, or specifically saying the downwards price movement is due to changes to CoinMarketCap information (completely false): https://twitter.com/justinsuntron/status/951191786902274048

Some investors in TRON have lost up to 66% of their net worth thus far (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tron/), making it one of the largest crashes that has been seen in the top 10 coins on CoinMarketCap in quite awhile. Some of the things investors believe are completely absurd, citing that the Chinese government or Amazon will use TRON. It's unfortunate the levels of misinformation that so rampantly spread and cause many to lose their hard-earned money.

With "rate-limited" account it shows up after two posts and then one cannot post for about 6 hours.

A number of people have done dual dish drawer washing machines for #1. Basically you have two half height dishwashers in the drawer format. On has clean dishes the other has dirty. You move dishes from the clean side until you fill up the dirty side then you run it and it becomes the new clean side. Edge cases remain out of reach (if your kids only dirty butter knives and spoons for example).
I think when most people say "hard disk", they usually mean rotating discs that use magnetism to store data. That is what I took tmyklebu's question to mean, since I too have never heard of a HDD reaching anywhere near 2 GB/s.

I never eat farmed fish because I don't trust fish farms and it seems that there are not enough regulations to make farmed fish healthy.

I don't buy industrial beef neither and only eat high quality beef that is certified to have had a good diet and no hormones or antibiotics.

I don't eat cheap Brazilian chickens neither.

That means that I eat quite less fish and meat than other people, but every time I eat, I enjoy a good product. Also, that makes me not responsible of all the externalities generated by the meat and fish industry.

Ask HN: Any companies offering tech internships to high schoolers?
Hi HN, I'm in high school right now and am looking for a (preferably tech-related, as that's my main current skillset that would be of interest to a company) internship for this summer. I did find a couple from "major companies": google, microsoft, and facebook, but I'm for various reasons ineligible for those programs. Does anyone know of companies offering internships I might be able to apply to? Preferably in/near san fransisco, as I have a relative there I can stay with.
