River North is also an unusual neighborhood in Chicago - there are dozens of walkable little downtowns in other neighborhoods across the city, but RN is an abomination and I usually try to get out of it quickly whenever I find myself there.

Right, but "to some approximation" is very squishy for the phone company, whereas I got in my car today and the phone told me how long it would take to get to my shrink. It's fairly impressive they could be so tone deaf as to not see why people wouldn't be delighted with this kind of auto-discovery.
Make it configurable, so users would be able to assign actions to any swipe and gesture. That should allow customizing it to your needs any way you want.
I'm not in the airline business so I'm just spitballing, but I would suspect you capture more business along routes like London-LA if you have a variety of departure times throughout the day. While the total volume might make sense to fill an A380, you'd lose business to somebody with smaller planes but more scheduling options. Again, just spitballing, but I know I probably wouldn't delay or move up my departure for a few hours just to get on an A380 if there's an A320 that can get me there and leaves at a more convenient time.
Because that shouldn't be charged after the fact, ideally it should be priced into the water prices as consumers purchase it.

Indeed, and "summation" is not the same as "addition".

Unfortunately, the syntax chosen for representing the sequence is that of an additive series, where a binary + operator is interposed between terms.

The semantics being shown does not seem to follow from a redefinition of that operator per se as stand-alone binary operator.

You really want to show this as, say

fun([1 2 3 4 ... ])

a function applied to a vector. Why the algebraic rules seem to work is because fun is a linear operator; i.e.

n fun([x0 x1 ... ]) = fun([nx0 nx1 ...])

and

fun(v0 + v1) = fun(v0) + fun(v1)

We can ply these rules back to the original 1 + 2 + 3 ... notation and then they look like algebra.

Basically, none of this means that the natural numbers add to -1/12; only that the sequence of natural numbers can be fed into some decimating calculation which ends up with -1/12.

Well, no kidding; the sequence of natural numbers can be fed into a decimating calculation which converges on any value you want, if you can freely choose the decimating calculation, and that calculation can be chosen to be linear operator.

Note that we don't have:

fun([x0 x1 x3 ... x42 ...]) = fun([x3 x42 x0 ... x1 ...])

which would be required to hold if this were addition. We can't change the positions of the terms. Why? Because they correspond to different powers in a power series.
FWIW I find the way you wrote that very pretentious. I suppose you can accuse me of not being as smart as you (you could be right - I have no idea). But the fact remains I understand everything you say but still come away with thinking - "this guy sounds like a bit of a blow-hard".

You might be a nice person, but it's the impression I get.
This is one issue, another issue is that the method used to implement 16-bit compatibility in 32b windows involves virtual 8086 mode and running instance of DOS inside of that even for native 16b windows applications.

In all, I assume that it was droped mostly because it involved too much work for somewhat questionable benefit.

I lived in Los Angeles for 6 years and in fact worked in Santa Monica. Being from Kentucky, where we have stunningly gorgeous fall leaves, I found the constant brown grass and palm trees to be depressing. None of the firey reds, oranges, or yellows you get from maple and oak trees. No white christmas, just brown mostly dead plants unless you go to beverly hills where they use far too much potable water simply on their lawns, etc.

The weather in Los Angeles is quite nice. I worked at 2nd & Colorado (the floors above the McDonalds are office space). My wife and I would meet there, walk to the pier to get a churro, and then have a nice dinner at the promenade a few times per week. Super nice for a vacation, but still I did miss actual weather or the beauty of a thunderstorm. Different strokes for different folks I suppose!
See there ya go... different strokes and all that. I'd never want to live anywhere where it gets any colder than it gets here in NC. :p
What's the irony, really... there's probably a reason innate IQ settled around where it did over the thousands of years since civilization started and not higher.
It’s not about holding, it’s about backstop.

A company’s stock (or bond) is a right to get some compensation in case of dissolution, bankruptcy, or liquidation sale. A precious metal like gold still has a backstop value - it can be sold to electronics manufacturers to make those beautiful gold-plated audio cables. Diamonds have a backstop value of being used in boring and drilling. Vacated real estate can be converted to other uses.

All of those assets (when owned outright and not pledged) are unlikely to go to $0.
Whenever I paused to consider my next words, someone would start talking into my silence and then accuse me of interrupting them when I tried to continue.

I eventually realized that I wasn't bad at speaking; I just had a different style. Some people are more agile in conversation, because they do not think about what they want to say before activating their mouth-parts to make the noises. They jump right in, by using formulaic nulls to establish conversational priority, then fill in the content afterward. Then they hold priority with more nulls for as long as it takes to come up with more content.

I have never been able to bring myself to hold conversational priority by babbling nonsense, and I can't abide listening to a constant stream of nulls, trying to sift signal from noise, so I just don't talk to certain people. The best I can manage is gestural nulls.

It's one of the reasons why I prefer writing to speaking. I suspect I might be able to speak normally with Scandinavians, as I have heard they consider silences to be an essential part of conversation. Here in the US, I am continually frustrated by not being able to speak in paragraphs.

And that may be because most people do not think in paragraphs. A lot of them can't even manage whole sentences.

Because a certain amount of local density is needed to support any establishment's existence. The more specialized it is, the more local population is needed to sustain it. As the middle class shrinks or other economic changes happen, the margin of this can get narrower, as shops consolidate into having less locations in denser areas. There apparently used to be a lot of full time IBM positions near where I grew up, but now those buildings are mostly abandoned.
It's not so much the privacy that bugs be about this -- its the cognitive intrusion; my phone vibrating for my attention only to look at it and see this bullshit. Ick.
There is a saying... "build with what you know". I assume you are the only one who knows Golang. Everyone else knows javascript - so javascript it is.

I agree that social justice is important when building transport infrastructure. Things like congestion charges in particular seem to be very unfair to poorer people. We all pay for the roads so why can't we use them?

The problem is that there is limited capacity, and limited money to build more capacity. There has to be limits placed on how people use the roads to make sure that other people also have that freedom. The same is true of pedestrians and cyclists. Sharing the capacity in a fair manner is difficult.
A lot of the population of Boulder doesn't even get to live areas that are especially walkable. Gunbarrel and all the neighborhoods East of 30th sort of require a car. Technically you can still bike but downtown or the campus are a long way, especially in snow or rain. And, unless it has changed, the bus doesn't run all night...
I've read about the foreign investors, but really want to believe that's only happening in places like CA, but I know that's not true.

Housing in Colorado isn't necessarily un-affordable, yet, it's just way over priced. Plus the demand continues to go up, causing pricing to rise. I know that in Northern Colorado, it sort of peaked back in 2016, and the rate at which prices are going up are slower than they were, but housing still isn't cheap.

(Luckily, I am fortunate enough to work in a developer role for a company, in an industry that is pretty rock solid, so I think getting laid off isn't a huge threat. I got laid off last year from HPE and managed to land on my feet. I have been working with a mortgage broker to try and buy something instead of paying sky high rents, but being a twenty-something, even with a decently high salary still makes this way harder than it would have been a few years earlier, even with a lower salary. )

Thanks for pointing that out...it seems that indeed there are a few types of military planes that are larger than A380, and there must be some existing airports that could handle them...

But for commercial flights, there might be certain specifications that an airport must meet before they could accommodate a certain type of passenger plane...I am not an expert in this field, but some googling yields the following results,

You have a lot more faith in technology than I do -- there will still be accidents, as good as self-driving cars are, they are still subject to the laws of physics and sometimes cars will run into each other or other objects or people.

We already have effectively self-driving cars with Uber and other car-sharing services, and all you need to do is go to SFO's departure level during peak travel times to see the traffic havoc that self-driving cars will bring -- too many cars and not enough curb space to drop off/pick up everyone.

When self-driving cars are cheap and plentiful then downtown streets will look the same -- self-driving cars will more than double car traffic since instead of 200 employees driving to work and parking into the parking garage (making one trip), now 1000 employees will be dropped off by their self-driving car, which will then have to drive away to park or look for the next passenger, making a second trip on already crowded streets.
Maybe the title should be "Why Really Dumb People Dislike Really Smart Leaders". "Talk to them like they're five" is what that suggestion sounds like to me.
Assembla Acquires Cornerstone, a Subversion Client for MacOS
I doubt that land in the downtown core is a central consideration based on the fact that Northern Virginia and Montgomery County, MD are listed in addition to Washington, DC.

Northern Virginia has a lot of land, an existing tech sector, a ton of data centers, one of the biggest Internet peering points in the world, and a big international airport (Dulles). It's not a cool place to live and work, though, the way the city is. It's family suburbs and strip malls, mostly.
Around me, it's used a lot for larger group chats (which in Signal often did fail badly) and by people wanting desktop clients.

Show HN: Collateralized Debt Agreements Using Smart Contracts and Virtual Cats
I feel like I have talked about cars and transit quite a bit, and everyone else has covered this down thread. But I'd like to address your other comments:

> Overcrowdedness

Again - when we are talking about increasing density we are not talking about forcing people to get rid of their car or making a sleepy suburb look like Manhattan. Townhouses, for instance, increase residential density a lot compared to the tract housing popular in American suburbs and, if well-built, have very little downside.

> very long waiting times at every establishment or government office

Maybe to line up at a nightclub or an exceptionally popular restaurant. But the beauty of increased density is choice - if a place is busy, just walk to a less busy one.

>increased ease of pickpockets etc. to "disappear into the crowd"

Notorious pickpocketing hotspots in Paris or Barcelona mainly prey on tourists who are confused and disoriented and jet lagged. Keeping aware of your belongings at all times will greatly lower your chance of being pickpocketed. Also, I'd argue that if a crime occurs in a less dense area, there might not be anyone else who was there to witness or report the crime.
When you double click one of the images displayed in xnviewmp the image opens in a window and then under the 'Image' menu item, there is a submenu named 'Map'. Selecting the Map submenu opens a list of functions that can be performed on the image, and one of them is 'Negative'.
Immediately when I saw the title I assumed this had something to do with Trump. Both Bush II and Trump have been chided as being stupid. Yet their seemingly stupid demeanor is part of what attracts people. When people come across as super intelligent they can also come across as fake, particularly if there is already an inherent lack of trust in a domain like politics. When Trump tweets, his lack of diplomacy and unpolished grammar make him sound like a normal guy just talking about what he thinks rather than an elite, lifelong politician which no one can relate to.
This is likely related to trait Openness to experience, which is positively correlated with IQ. Those with a better ability to assess ideas on their merit don't need to develop as much of a memetic immune system, since their formative experiences contain much fewer learning examples of getting burned by malign ideas.

And similarly, I think there's a good argument for wanting leaders with lower Openness than is commonly found among those with very high IQ. Obviously you want your leaders to consider new ideas, but you definitely do not want them to get carried away by any pipe dream that comes across their desk. Instead, you want their opinions to be pretty well fixed. That way, if you figure out that their values are aligned with yours, you can rely on them to stay true.

Thanks for the timely explanation. I would maintain that substantive comments that help people quickly understand what the article is about—and what it's not about—should be allowed to rise/fall organically. If people are +1'ing it, that means they found it helpful. Doesn't that tend to indicate that others might find it helpful also?

I should say that if this down-weighting had happened simultaneous to a title change, I would feel differently. A better title would be: "Clients I Chose Not To Work With". To my ear, it's equally click-baity, but it has the benefit of accurately describing the post itself.
Of all the cities in the 25 different countries I traveled to, Santa Monica is definitely up there. Great location in LA, amazing food, vibrant neighborhoods, beautiful (and mostly friendly) people. Biggest downside to me is that there isn’t enough tech opportunities there. Else I’d move there in a heartbeat.

Most people have much more complex wants and density if at best a small part of the picture.

People want the best of all worlds. I want to own 100 acres (for my pet goats - even though I don't have the time to care for them I want them). I want my kid's school to be a most 200 meters from my front door (with a playground). I want my office, church, a dozen restaurants, and 30 other retail stores to be at most 500 meters from my front door. I'm not rich enough to afford that though so I have to compromise. Even if I was that rich, it is not possible for more than 2 people rich enough to afford that to live within 1000 meters of each other, and to support that requires thousands of not rich people living in 1000 meters.

People will choose a walkable neighborhood when they think it is a good compromise. Some valuable large livestock more than others and so will be late to move to the walkable city. Others want to spend their free time at the theater and will move to the walkable neighborhood early just because it is the fastest way to bed after the late night show. Most people are not so into either choice that one answer is obvious.

If you want a walkable neighborhood to work you need to fix the local schools. At least in the US most walkable neighborhoods are old areas of town where the schools are bad, those who want children feel compelled to move to the suburbs and the car lifestyle just because of how much better the schools are.

If you want walkable neighborhoods you need to fix zoning so that it is possible for them to happen. Strongtowns has a lot of analysis of what makes it possible - there are thousands of subtle things required, heavy handed efforts tend to leave a lot of the subtle problems in place.
The other way around, RTP is inside Raleigh, it sits between Raleigh and Durham
> That clearly didn't actually happen when the jobs first migrated to the suburbs.

Yes, they did; not so much in terms of density, but the suburbs that had substsntial local quality jobs rather than being bedroom communities for more distant urban areas (or other other suburbs) did become substantially more expensive (as is expected, because convenient location to work is something people value), and, conversely, when jobs have moved away (including in the return to cities) they've gotten less expensive.

There's also the fact that major cities tend to be located in places which are geographically conducive to physically supporting largee numbers of people and large volumes of material trade, and even if an industry doesn't itself need or produce lots of physical goods directly, it often supports or is supported by others that do, and, in any case, the ability to support people effects the economics of moving jobs.

If putting economists in charge somehow curtails monopolies, externalised costs, tragedies of the commons and boom and bust business cycles then someone really should sit down and get that news out there. Nothing I've heard suggests economists outperform a healthy democratic process.

Monetary policy is one that is more up for debate - it seems reasonable that it can have a positive effect on gdp, but something has decoupled GDP from measures that actually effect people. I think that something is monetary policy, and note in passing that GDP was, prior to 1970, a much better proxy for energy/capita than it is now [1].

I watch the US economy with curiosity and note, for example, that core inflation, the central plank of US monetary policy, excludes basically anything I spend money on.

Dense cities already exist. People already live there. The OP even contains examples. As far as I can tell, what people are advocating for is to make existing cities harder (or impossible) to get around in when you're not on foot. I think that's why this meets with opposition.
