Uh, there's nothing out in the eastern part of Colorado that qualifies as a city. Sterling, is like 10k people, if that. But anything east of Greeley is still relatively affordable.

Anything along the Front Range, Colorado Springs, and north, all the way up to Fort Collins, have seen huge increases in housing costs in the last 5 years. Denver and Boulder are expensive, yes, but the commuter (bedroom) communities, like Fort Collins, Longmont, Brighton, etc, have seen huge spikes in housing costs. Rentals in these areas, throughout my college career, were more than manageable. My rent TRIPLED when I moved out of my last college apartment. I moved from Greeley, to Fort Collins, which is consistently rated as like the best place to raise a family too. These communities have been relatively affordable until the last few years, when things have suddenly gotten a little out of control.

There's not enough new development, a huge demand for single family homes, and an influx of population has driven the housing market up and up. The Oil and Gas industry seemingly started the trend back in 2013-2014, but now, all sorts of businesses are opening up, there's just more demand. It's unfortunate for those of us just getting started in our careers, and definitely creates disdain for all the new-comers.
It's "upsetting" (a strong word not used in the post) to new users because the default is "on" and that's the first impression they get when they turn the device on. Which is the sound of Google blowing it and sending people back to the Apple ecosystem, not necessarily the sound of someone crying.
I see people on this very website claim they can probably implement an Uber clone in a weekend or two - and they're probably right, the basics of such a service are quite simple, but perfecting it and marketing it are far harder.

Is that my problem though as a freelance developer? Should I invest effort in something knowing it will fail because it can't possibly be marketed successfully against competitors?

I wonder how many of suicide bombers and domestic shootings were conducted by previous cons.

Seems like when you’ve got nothing to lose, one may go to an extreme.
If he publicly discloses it then (theoretically) nobody else can patent it.

Pfft, that can't be right. _I_ claim that those that disagree with my ideological conclusions are obviously haters who are just jealous of my idols' objectively superior attributes. But this isn't a broad insult to those who disagree with the narrative of a consumerist accelerando saving us all somehow, because this problem I perceive in other people can be solved not by reorganization of our society's priorities, but by, y'know, teaching then coping skills. Because they're big babies.

I dunno about the parent comment, but _I_ am excited about the chance to indoctrinate future generations more quickly and efficiently. This should cut down on needless obstruction of Progress.

Superblocks: how Barcelona is taking city streets back from cars

https://www.vox.com/2016/8/4/12342806/barcelona-superblocks
Lee Kuan Yew is known to have strict authoritarian and disciplinarian policies. He basically forged Singapore from a couple square miles of swampy marshland with no natural water or resources into what is is today.

It's no longer that way, but it's been molded that way that it's a Brave New World sort of life. It's quite strange over there. Very clean and safe, but there are tons of extremely strict laws.
It's not Google Maps that's doing the tracking. He turned off notifications in Google Maps, not location history, which does the actual tracking that other apps consume.

He agreed to location tracking when he first set up the phone because the first run setup explicitly asks whether he wants that on or off.
The parent never implies that it is.

However, at the end of the day large corporations need to keep shareholders pleased to survive. They could lie all they want to themselves, but the shareholders would see through that and remove the bad administrators.

China has no such mechanism to ensure accountability.
I would say that they are remotely the same thing: a way to run windows software on unixes.
The strength of the social fabric / level of community engagement in suburbs is way higher. Not even close.
They are probably a minority. There is rampant racism in these states and many don’t even try to hide their discrimination.
> So wasm…are closer c/c++ than to java?

Yes. For example, Web Assembly has unsigned integer arithmetic and explicit memory allocation/deallocation, neither of which the JVM has.

> Considering all the UB in C, this cannot possibly be true.

Undefined behavior is a concern of the compiler of the source language. Web Assembly doesn't compile C or C++. It simply interprets a VM, the semantics of which are designed to be relatively free of undefined behavior.

> Given javas JavaScript implementation is pretty comparable, not very big, and even written in java, this also doesn't seem to be true at all.

I would highly doubt it's performance competitive at the level that browsers are at now. It strikes me as likely impossible to get performance competitive on, say, SunSpider if you aren't highly tuned for it.

It's always surprising how much comments and postings in these parts are vehemently in opposition to data being usefully incorporated into these apps and services, I remember a recent post about how Google's passive on device music identification worked on the Pixel 2 which turned hostel.

I understand that certain types of people are attracted to certain topics but it's still somewhat jarring when in a technology discussion board there is this amount of anti tech sentiment.

This feature is useful, it puts that data gathered to a good use, and it's upfront about it, if you don't like it just swipe the notification away.

Don't be fooled, the iPhone is gathering the same type of data it just only snitches on non system apps doing so in the background. Not to mention that it looks like they don't put that data to good use which as far as I'm concerned is the greater sin.

The same trust/consensus is needed with Crypto. The only thing crypto has over USD is that we can be certain of its issuing policy (but even then a fork could change that).

I trust USD issuing, the federal reserve, and American military for the most part (so does wall St, EU, Japan, and China).
Not sure why this comment was voted down, it's actually quite true, as I was a NYC resident for 25 years and my dad drove a cab there as well.

Uber the company may have been egregious in many ways, but along with Lyft and the iPhone and their interpretation of the TLC laws they were able to bring competition to a much needed market and displace the old monopoly that taxi owners had. Which by the way, were much worse on their employees than Uber ever was.

It's also important to note that the experience of using Uber/Lyft is much better than a taxi:
1. You can get back lost items
2. You have some idea that the driver picking you up is professional
3. You have recourse against a bad ride
4. Likewise, it's a two way street, as a rider the driver now also knows that you are going to act appropriately
5. Convenience of being picked up where you are
6. Convenience of not having to explain how to get a to place that isn't often frequented by taxis
7. Convenience of never having to take your wallet out
8. Overall better quality cars, both in terms of comfort and safety since they are newer and more well maintained
Thank you, and I'm sorry, if you're a Seattle resident.
Apple says no to just about every app.

This app seems to offer low functionality. The way around this is to add more features, the re-submit. I've been through the process before, sometimes what you add doesn't have to be much.
I think it looks fantastic (full disclosure: of course I would, since I'm the business partner)! Good luck ;-)
They don't need actual dollars, just issue a currency with the exchange rate pegged to another one.
As a non-C++ person, I agree wholeheartedly.

Language preferences aside, this is one of the best programming podcasts I have come across.
Only in PPP, which doesn't mean much because many things are more expensive in China than the USA (housing, cars, high-end goods, schooling, ...). For an equivalent lifestyle, you often need to earn more in China than the USA, so PPP seems to be a weird metric.

- Solar is suspected to be heavily subsidized by the government. That isn't so bad for us as long as we don't produce panels, it has led to a solar revolution in the USA as well.

- China still hasn't done its own production nuclear plant yet. Citizens are extremely wary of the government to do it right.

- The point here is "will" rather than "does". China keeps touting how they will beat the USA in AI by 2020 or 2030 or whatever, but it is still all aspirational. China has a lot of talent and a lot of data work with (privacy isn't much of a concern), but claiming you are going to win a race is much different from winning it.

This reminds me uncomfortably of someone I saw yesterday arguing that you shouldn't get a flu shot because it makes your immune system lazy.

Memory is complicated and difficult. It can be trained, but we only have so much bandwidth for it. It's very nice to have automation to "remember" for us, so we can stop wasting that limited bandwidth on things that don't much matter, like details of our dinner experience, and save medium-term memory for more important stuff.
I was surprised at the goofy map they used here - the bottom third of the country seems vertically compressed (see the angle of Florida's peninsula, or how squashed the bottom of Texas is). Also... Raleigh is south of Nashville (not north the way their map has it) and Nashville is 100 + miles east of where they've got it (based on Louisiana). Just surprising that so little time apparently went into it, maybe maps are harder than I think?
Interesting follow-up (again). It will be very interesting to see where attempts to detect headless browser will first appear in the wild. Once we know that and the prevalence, we can make a judgement call on how much effort to put into anti-detection techniques. It's an arms race for sure, but once you know your target you can evaluate whether you even have to put up the effort to defeat a non-existent adversary.
Sure. I'm all for the transhumanist aspect of this, letting the machines take care of everything they can so I can focus my intellect on the things that machines can't do, and I'll admit that (for example) I lean hard on Google when choosing whether to memorize a particular piece of information or to simply know that it exists and how it can be found. In this case, though, my parents figured out that I had an issue around the time I learned to read but I myself only recently realized I could talk to my doctor about it. There's a reason I choose to describe these systems as prostheses. And even if I do have a ton of practice exercising conscious control over my memory, I'd still really prefer to be spending those cognitive resources on things that aren't basic everyday tasks.
Everything is economics, brother. Even humanities.

No. The human being is more like an oligarchy or a board. (Or, as one of Carrie Fisher's characters put it, a "committee.") Economics is something like a 30% shareholder. Philosophy, culture, and mental models are something like 40% -- there is no absolute majority shareholder, but culture has a plurality.

Economics can gang up with the base instincts to overwhelm philosophy/ideology/culture, but economics just by itself would be overpowered by philosophy/ideology/culture. The situation here in SF is a great example of this. Ideology causes SF to pass laws and have regulations which work to SF's economic detriment.

It does seem like that is the problem a lot of people have.

Google does explicitly ask you for permission to do this. And whenever someone in this thread points that out, someone replies with some variation of "yeah, but they probably do it anyway". Well...OK then I guess. There's not much of a conversation that can happen after that, but you do you.
Oh...those lovely childhood memories using MS Paint on Windows 3.1 (although this looks like the Win 98 vesion)..thanks this is awesome!!
Probably not that but they could keep that even when their "profitable on paper" subsidiaries were spread around tax havens just like before.

But another interesting thing here is the interplay with EU countries. EU recently started to pay closer attention to Apple. Even forced them to look for a new place (they found Jersey I think). From my armchair understanding if they pay taxes in one place, say EU they might not need to pay it in US and vice-versa. Because of double taxation. As long as Apple was hoarding the money quietly and nobody could do anything it all good. As soon as EU started going after the money, it would benefit US to try to get to it sooner.

Whether politicians considered that or not not sure. But if they did, I can see them wanting to capture those taxes before EU got to them.

I for one am happy the part of them investing more in US. Don't see the reason people are upset about it.
Seattle has (had?) to be similar enough to Denver in that regard and everything I've heard about Miami is work hard play hard so I guess I don't see why they'd have a problem fitting in either of those.

Similar story for me, I think November. I checked back in I think in December and they told me they had run out of stock. I was told early January (well, here we are, still waiting). On the other hand my friend ordered just before me and she got hers pretty quick. I guess she got the last one, hah.

Frozen eyelashes and -62C: life in the world's coldest village
I've waited 50 years for an organization like Strong Towns to combine a) sound accounting and b) urban architecture in a USA context. These guys are sobering consequentialists, testing principles against their realized potential. That's a breath of fresh air cutting across party electioneers, subsidy seekers, wishful thinkers and noisy promoters. Great publication.
There's still oil! They could still be rich! They fucked it up.
Economics is to urban planning like structural mechanics is to architecture. It's a way of describing a justification ("we need a beam to hold up the floor, and the math shows why") not a justification in and of itself. It's also a way of bridging differences in subjective preferences "whether we have a post or a cantilever, we need to hold up this awning, and the math shows why").

Most Americans don't live in cities. To a degree that stands in stark contrast to Europe. Over 60% of the population of Germany's capital lives in the city proper. Just 11% of the population of America's capital lives in the city proper. To Americans, quite reasonably, pedestrians are just in the way of the offices and businesses they need to drive to. Economics helps explain in concrete terms why they might prefer to support policies that on their face seem to be against their interest.
Some people claim it’s rabbit season. Others contend that in fact it is duck season.
I wish this becomes a federal law.

US likes to shit over Canada but I have to say Canada very much seems like a civilized country while US is going reverse.
Well, that is great to hear - with any luck I'm just being too cynical.

But what I'm saying is, it sounds like your daughter has a nurturing environment, easy access to these tools, and a healthy amount of encouragement.

Are these new tools any better at reaching the marginalized people who the projects profess a desire to educate? That's where the real impact would be, in people who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity/environment to learn about these concepts.

But...most of this stuff is fairly expensive, and doesn't seem to be gaining any traction in any sort of national-scale programs. Maybe I'm just not paying enough attention.
You'd get false positives from e.g. extensions modifying the page.
I get your point, but what else would you buy? I have an iPhone, but only because my employer pay for it, it's simply to expensive. The alternative is that most of us wouldn't have a smartphone.

But you're right of cause, people should boycott Android phones that track them to the extend Googles currently is.
You aren't saving those $.10 per mile, you're converting them to a different operating cost per mile, with fuel, maintenance, crew, and so on. Any well thought out cost benefit analysis says 64 billion is absolutely unreasonable.

You're right that short term thinking and underinvestment in infrastructure is a problem. But you have to choose your projects intelligently: things like revamping BART and New York's MTA, and taking better care of the most-used roads and bridges are far far better uses of public money.

Part of the reason we underinvest in infrastructure is that people see these pointless multi-billion-dollar boondoggles and cry out their money is being wasted. If you really want more spending on infrastructure, give up on your dream projects and spend on things that will actually make a big difference in people's lives.

Yes, there is. You explicitly have to turn it on the first time you turn on the phone, which makes the author's complaint even more ridiculous. There are maybe three checkboxes total of privacy settings when you set up your phone, so this is hard to miss.

I think this sort of thing results in a net loss for the public. Politicians love talking about creating jobs, but not about at what cost. Whatever city wins will be handing out subsidies and tax breaks to the point where only Amazon shareholders benefit.
I don't disagree. Boulder does well by the people who can afford to live here but seemingly (I'm still new) does little to offer affordable options.

You go around Boulder and it doesn't feel like a city — this is part of the charm and also part of the problem.
Trent Reznor described this as "albums that make you work for it". You don't like them the first time you hear them (or they just sound monotonous and undifferentiated). You don't like them the second time.

But on subsequent listenings you start to notice things, things become familiar and you start liking it. And the crazy thing is that a lot of the time those albums (or artists) are the ones that get catapulted into "best album of all time" statuses.

Definitely some of my top artists/albums of all time are ones that did not appeal to me on the first few listens.

That's a good point. What qualifies as modern in my experience is a good old classic Amtrak which is powered by a full size diesel-electric locomotive front & rear. I imagine there are ways to make it to the front, but I imagine they involve catwalks on the side of the locomotive.

But, much like I am not a lawyer, I am also not a train engineer. Or even a railfan. So I am probably completely wrong.

I do appreciate Amtrak keeping TSA out, in any case.
I find all these stories of North Korea fascinating. The USSR and China both realized that free markets are a better system and adjusted accordingly. North Korea just seems to keep betting on a system that's broken.
