I think you misunderstood me. Whole Foods was unusual because it would buy the land and build shopping centers for its stores. The idea was that they could be their own landlords and rent out the rest of the space to other companies that have similar products and services. That’s why you’ll often see a natural pet food store or an organic restaurant next to a Whole Foods. They attract customers to each other.

Over the years they’ve bought real estate based on the number of college graduates who live nearby. Having started in Austin decades ago they most certainly own a lot of land there in prime locations.

So, now that Amazon owns Whole Foods, it might already own a lot of the land it needs to build its new campus. If it builds elsewhere it might be much more costly.
Exactly this. And they didn't compensate, which makes this very biased and unfair.

People who have been in an area for a long time have every right to fight back against overwhelming changes that have incredibly serious long-term implications for their quality of life.

It's a sign of your argument's inherent weakness that you equate people's heartfelt sentiments about feeling overwhelmed by cost-of-living increases, and the resulting destruction of their communities, with Donald Trump's agenda.
Most people will hand over their wallet, phone, car keys, passwords, and spill their darkest secrets if you just point a toy gun at them and raise your voice.

> Poor people, regardless of color, have a remarkably similar experience (with education, the police, the criminal justice system)

That's not true. Google "red-lining." Black people face considerable housing discrimination that white people simply do not. Studies have also shown that people of color face longer prison sentences for the same crimes. It is false to say that all poor people have the same experiences.

as it so happens, people who are not poor, can afford lawyers - part of fixing poverty is improving access to the legal system for the impoverished.

You are absolutely right that black folks face longer jail terms than white folks for the same crime - but we still need to fix poverty - we can work on this on its own, or after - removing poverty will greatly reduce the amount of crime anyhow, most of which is driven by a need to survive and lack of opportunity.
Even if they do not directly pass this on to patients, cheaper generics will benefit patients in terms of their availability. I recently was involved in a case where a flucytosine (an old, generic anti-fungal) was considered for a patient, but the cost of treatment was $7,000 (as an outpatient) and therefore not considered (despite this being the best option). For an interesting analysis of this, see [1].

I can highly recommend this documentary from 1943, which shows the manufacturing of piezoelectric quartz crystals. The amount of skilled manual labor involved in the process is quite staggering.

Photolithography in general substantially pre-dates the development of the IC. We were using it to produce printing plates in the 19th century. Breakthroughs in chemistry made photolithographic PCB manufacture possible by the early 1940s. It took us another 20 years and a huge array of discoveries and inventions to finally start producing useful ICs.

Development of IC manufacturing required a very broad tech tree - better chemistry, better optics, better materials science, better process engineering and, most crucially, the invention of p-n junctions. Without the p-n junction, any effort to etch a practical integrated circuit is pretty much futile.
Yes. Common Lisp is an example of a language that can represent rationals exactly and do arithmetic on them. You can avoid floating-point precision loss by using this method. But there are drawbacks:
1) The numerator and denominator will often turn into bignums as a calculation progresses, consuming ever-larger amounts of space and time, and
2) This won't help you with any calculation involving irrationals, except to prevent your initial imprecision from growing larger.

Regardless of what Trump actually implemented. During the campaign he called for a Muslim ban.

"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on."

>We live in an age where "Muslim ban" sounds like appropriate policy to about half the population.

The OP is saying that close to half the voters voted for Trump, so it's likely they agree that a Muslim ban is appropriate.

This isn’t a secret among marketers. They talk about it very openly amongst themselves.

I used to be in that industry back 20 years ago helping design one of the major machines still in production. Since then I've moved onto many different things. The best way to get into this field is get a materials science/engineering degree. Sadly there has been lots of consolidation among fabs plus most of them moved overseas so hard to get any hands on experience. They also have lots of technician roles in the fabs but with automation and improved reliability, maybe not so easy to get. Your best shot for hands on exposure would be a equipment manufacturer like Applied Materials or Lam Research.

It’s a cycle. Tenants need more rights => the economics for landlords are less attractive => the supply of rental housing dwindles => tenants need more rights.

Rearranging the deck chairs can only get us so far in the face of scarcity. The experiment in a distributed and suburban country is over. The population is urbanizing, as it has throughout human history. Whether it wants to or not, that's where jobs are going. That presssure will always show up in some form or another unless the housing supply grows to meet it.

Whether it’s the market or the government, someone needed to be building on a massive scale, yesterday. That’s not incompatible with protecting long term renters, but when we make it less lucrative to build we must also give more of a push to build anyway.

> If you confuse cryptocoins with stocks and shares in Companies with real world assets and obligations like Apple you're in for a dear surprise.

Educate me then; because when it comes to tech stocks, and especially pure software based tech stocks like TWTR which pay no dividend that I'm aware of, I'm unsure what investors really think they're getting which is meaningfully different from cryptocurrency.

When you invest in Bitcoin, you're investing in Greg Maxwell and the usual suspects of Bitcoin-land. When you invest in Ethereum, you're investing in Vitalik Buterin and the usual suspects of Ethereum-land. Maybe it's a bit more dynamic than this given the lack of official titles and the ability for new actors to come and muscle out old actors, but ultimately there's always a mutually shared profit motive and organizational structure behind any given cryptocurrency.

The coins you buy are effectively bearer shares on steroids, because they're exactly like traditional bearer shares in spirit and in form.

IMO it isn't very useful to pidgeonhole cryptocurrency as a mere software database, when investors are in practice investing in the teams backing the software (see: above). The leadership/management team behind the coin develops the coin's ecosystem, and spearheads user adoption. It's basically like a startup.

To this end, one standout example is the cryptocurrency Decred, which features a passive income stream component for investors along with a shareholder voting component. Decred's coins can be thought of as publicly traded shares in a company like Stripe, only in bearer form and built on the blockchain.

The more applications built on top of Decred, the higher the transaction volume on Decred, the more valuable Decred becomes. Is this really so different from how tech stocks work?

Well, that's not completely true. If you're a union worker, it can be harder for the school to rid itself of the problem employee. Same for many other members of strong unions.

That said, they have to have some process to ensure that unfounded malicious accusations don't both undermine (oh, I hate this phrase) legitimate problems and get innocent people fired, while also ensuring (sexual conduct) violators get their just desserts.

A short tale of three firmware updaters.

Device #1: A "root boot" loader in flash, very simple, loaded by a boot ROM. Its only job is to find the first good "large" chunk of boot code, get it into RAM and run it. The "large" chunks are in one of two slots. The update process is simple (update and test each slot independently), and if the update is interrupted there's always an image to boot from. It takes the developer responsible for FW update about a day to write the code and get it rock solid. An update takes less than about five seconds.

Device #2: Implements a complicated file system. Some files need to be updated, some are untouchable, some need other special treatment (and the documentation is, unsurprisingly, dead wrong about things). The update process is very slow (tens of minutes) and if it is interrupted you wind up with a brick. It takes about two man-years to get the update process stable enough to ship.

Device #3: Implements the standard USB firmware update protocol (DFU). There's a mountain of host-side code to deal with the edge conditions, and firmware updates are unpredictable. Devices get bricked pretty often. Takes maybe six months to get the update process stable enough to ship.

Thinking of #2 and #3 still makes me mad. This stuff just isn't hard.

If AOL provided a major innovation not available in either X or Y, then it would be analogous to the blockchain. The reason why AOL faded away and the blockchain won't is that the latter solves a major problem that could not be solved by any previous technology, including any of its component technologies alone, while the former did not.
It’s a stretch to call the people accepting these payments journalists although the lines are admittedly blurry these days.
GWB may be intelligent, but he demonstrated very little of it during his tenure in office.

The Iraq war was architected by Cheney / Rumsfeld, Bush playing an incidental part at best. The invasion of Afghanistan demonstrated a studied lack of historical knowledge and the failure points of previous attempted invasions. Charitably, he does get credit for kickstarting the drone program which gave the US a credible (if ethically suspect) deterrent to terrorist organizations. However BO gets deserves more credit for deploying both the physical and legal apparatus to make routine drone strikes, particularly in places like Pakistan, a reality.

As for the economy, the tax cuts were a core Republican party agenda item since Reagan. Bush did not drive that, Congress did. Privatization of Social Security? Failed. Immigration? Same. Foreign policy? Besides alienating allies via needless wars, nothing noteworthy.

That leaves two things, foreign aid and No Child Left Behind. The former was a legitimate accomplishment and for that GWB should get credit. The latter had mixed results.

Well, it makes a great deal of sense in using "Muslim Ban". You 'otherize' them, you set them up against "You", and then you discriminate against them because they hate and want violence against you.

It's also hard to go against this, as we've been at war with the Middle East since Desert Storm - only a ceasefire was called. And then later add on extremist moslems during September 11 attacks, and yeah.. It's a perfect firestorm of justifiable hatred of a religion by a great many people.

There are aspects that are fun, but I feel like if you're doing it right, it is stressful. You are playing an antagonistic game with bad actors, so there's risk, and you'd better be well past just gaming out the probabilities and costs there. Just because you noticed them doesn't mean they can't do damage. You'd also better get informed buy-in from other relevant departments, etc.

Quite a while ago, I was involved in baiting an attacker in a somewhat different way, but with the same goal (destroying the value we were providing to them). After the attacker figured out what was going on, they issued a somewhat credible threat to damage the company's machines (they included some details demonstrating they had access to a couple internal machines at some point), attacked and DOSed them, and persistently tried spearphishing them for months afterwards.

I guess I'd just say, (a) doing this sort of thing responsibly sucks a lot of the fun out of it, and (b) don't underestimate the risks of things going pear-shaped. You could be buying yourself a lot of ongoing grief. Something as everyday as that spearphishing attack can be nerve wracking - even after making annoying the crap out of everyone by repeating how to be careful with email, there's no way to be sure it won't hit, and the next thing you know people are sitting around with upper management having conversations nobody wants to have about network segmentation and damage mitigation.
This is a fabulous exchange. If you (or dragontamer) are interested in collaborating with Daniel (the blog author) on future academic papers where this level of architectural detail is relevant, I'm sure he'd appreciate hearing from you by email. Or contact me (email in profile) and I'll forward.

You're correct, but would you agree that poverty is a better predictor for hardship in the USA than race?

In other words, would you agree that a poor white person has a much harder life than a rich black person?

Having much experience with both demographics, it's clear to me that this is the case, which is why I also wish the conversation were focused more on poverty than race.
