> 512 MB of RAM with 64 bit is a pain

That's an odd statement. How are those two things related?

You can still run 32-bit binaries (including thumb-2) under 64-bit OS in 32-bit execution state -- as long as kernel is configured to use 4kB pages. So your usermode binaries don't need to be bigger.

Or you can take advantage of higher performing 64-bit mode.

(Unrelated, but my pet peeve, one thing a lot of people get wrong: 32-bit ARM (Aarch32 and most ARMv7) supports 1 TB of physical RAM and 64-bit IIRC 16 TB. Not sure where the idea 32-bit ARM could only support 4 GB comes from.)
Not just internally. I remember the massive hype around this being the "next email." I excitedly got as many of my friends onto there as I could.

I can't really pinpoint any one thing. There really was a mass of mistakes that all lead to this imploding heavily. I seem to recall that the fate of GWT was intertwined heavily with it. Very heavyweight widgets to support the general idea of massive collaboration in real time.

I suspect the killer is that "real time" portion. People love to talk about that. Few actually want it. (Fewer still need it.)

Note however that the census definition of "urban" is very broad. I live in a 7,000 population town and between myself and a few neighbors, we're on about 100 acres--not counting adjacent conservation land. We're urban according to the census.

HN is politically divided, much as the surrounding societies are. But each side feels like the other side dominates this site, often with intense conviction. It's striking.
Well, I mean, it's not like Democrats don't do this sort of thing. It's politics. As someone once said, "elections have consequences", and surely should!

And it's a question of fairness too. Should the federal tax code give high-tax State residents a break? Why should it? Or why should it not? These questions have reasonable answers, and reasonable people can disagree.
Even more likely than what those guys said: there's no room for expansion. What is Anaheim going to do, eat Santa Ana to become bigger?
That is weird, and saddening. As a lifelong city dweller (primarily Chicago) I love the character, chaos, and depth of dense cities. Visiting some of the big cities in China, I was really taken with their bustling nature, the crowded street markets, the densely packed housing, and the diverse architecture. They seem to me so much more "alive" than the sprawling, strip-mall-filled anonymity of many American cities. I had chalked it up to American's desire for personal space, proliferation of cars and scarcity of public transit options. But I hadn't really considered the effects of zoning and other legal restrictions.
You're missing the point that an active, malicious strong AI is a nuke that's already been detonated.
Whether or not it’s surprising is kind of besides the point no? It’s still a problem and to get it fixed the first step is to draw attention to it.
If you have Reddit gold, Reddit will clearly mark new comments when you revisit a thread.

Quality sound quality testing is rare, mostly due to the fact that most of it is more marketing than reality (see beats headphones for example). Even the audiophile units often perform the same as a simple yamaha unit, but boy are they pretty, and made with exotic woods, solid silver, and handmade german capacitors.

Concerning room tuning: A similar issue happened about 20 years ago with the advent of this tech in car stereos. It isn't at all new, I still own an Eclipse head unit with the feature. It will play a frequency sweep from the speakers, and used the mics to localize (fade and balance), eq, and normalize the volume.

The problem is, as the listener, we almost always prefer our idiosyncratic music prefrences over a "flat" or generically "enhanced" eq and dynamics curve. And at least in the high quality (as opposed to SPL/loudness) domain of car audio, we have mostly moved back to manual adjustment. Many high end users still use sweeps and meters, easier than ever with smartphones, but still fine tune by ear.

Not altogether different than the tube vs solid state argument. Solid state amps are measurably cleaner and clearer, with less distortion, and greater frequency range. But the type of harmonic distortion produced by tube amplification is almost universally preferred by listeners when tested.

For humans, tune for the human, not the room.
It's unclear if a kein-mann-gmbh can function. (Not necessarily of a result of that) Austria amended their own gmbh structure in 2007 to prevent such gmbhs from existing: https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/Dokumente/Bundesnormen/NOR40091658...

I have both a WSJ and FT subscription and WSJ seems to have better US and middle east coverage. FT seems to have more East Asian (as expected) and European coverage. WSJ is softer on the Trump administration with some articles in support of Trump policy initiatives, which probably turns some people off. FT is broadly negative about US economic populism and the Trump administration.
I have issues with Seattle, especially the city counsil, and prefer the smaller towns that surround it, but a few of your items are outright falsehoods.

>> - Tokyo offers people nice 1BR apartments for roughly $900-1000 a month, because they are pro-development. that same apartment costs me $2k a month in Seattle

Seattle is doing it's best to accommodate growth. Estimates now peg 1,000 people moving to Seattle each week[1], which is not easy to absorb for a city of 700,000. Seattle has had the most construction cranes in America, each month since July 2016[2] to try to cope with growth.

>> - spending by the city of Seattle has doubled over the last few years, but the population did not double. this means that taxes will eventually be raised to fill the gap. I'm not my brother's keeper, so I'm moving to another low-tax state.

Agreed, Seattle city high earners tax is stupid, but it's being taken to the state Supreme Court where it's widely expected to be tossed out as the Washington State constitution prevents any income tax.

>> - the city has done next to nothing to remove restrictions on the heights of new buildings downtown. it also has made it nearly impossible to do mixed-use arrangements inside towers.

Which area of Seattle are you referring to? There are several skyscrapers being built currently downtown.

>> - taxes on ridesharing? why?! if you want to get rid of cars, as I do, hurting ridesharing won't get you there.

I wasn't able to find any reference to this. Do you have one? Seattle is attempting to push cars out by increasing car tab fees and the cost of parking, which appears to be working with y/y ridership up 12% [3]

---

My point is only, Seattle city council has a lot of problems, like most do across America, so there is no reason to manufacture ones that don't exist. As someone who has grown up in the area, I'm glad they are taking some action (unlike somewhere like SF) to accommodate the sudden growth of high wage earners, even if they aren't perfect.

Ok, I have a very rough number for the possible size if launched on a fully reusable BFR with payload based on a talk Elon gave in late 2017 [1]. I'm assuming that internal space scales roughly linearly and that deflated width isn't a factor when flying on the BFR, so I could be way off.

Here's the math:

Fully reusable BFR can do ~150,000 kg to LEO, Bigelow B330 weighs ~50,000 lbs or ~22,676 kg [2]

B330 has 330 m^3 of space [3], and the BFR could lift roughly 6.6 B330's

330 * 6.6 = 2,178 m^3

So, with my assumptions, a fully reusable BFR would be able to lift a Bigelow module with about 2,178 cubic meters of internal space.
Of course, I'm probably forgetting something and my assumptions are probably off; however, I think that it's safe to assume that a fully reusable BFR could lift a very big module to LEO.

[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B330

Edit: based on what @hughes said below, it looks like I did forget something: volume scales at a different rate than surface area. So it looks like the internal volume would be more like 5600 m^3.
That’s fair enough on the citation. I would point out that as you say, Texas and Arizona are heavily urbanized, and outside of that, very sparsely inhabited. TX having ~84% urban population, and AZ nearly 90%, that’s going to be hard to cover the other small percentage with broadband. Texas, despite being one of the “Big 8” ranks 32nd for average population density.

In other words rural TX and AZ are atypical.
Auto-merging duplicates on the frontpage and only showing the latest comment from a thread on the comments page might go a long way towards soaking up the effect of high-traffic events. Also possibly increasing the size of the front page from 30 to some amount proportional to posting traffic.
> Point is Governments are well equipped to regulate who can own or who can control any type of business entity.

Why do I get the feeling you are secretly an AI trying to trick us humans.
Quoting myself from other place:

> My reason for not writing a negative review is because before staying at their place we exchanged phone numbers and other things, and now I don't feel comfortable writing a negative review and possibly having a confrontation. YMMV but I avoid writing negative reviews despite the 'double blind' review system.

Despite the double blind system, AirBnb's review system still requires you to have a certain personality. It is still quite adversarial.

Take for instance we stayed at a place recently, where we were quite upset at the ameneties of the place (and we were very certain to give them negative reviews), but during the last day, the host made a huge favor to us by keeping our luggage with them. This meant a lot for us, so we can't really leave negative reviews, however, this does not fix the problem with Host's place.

I would suggest some sort of constructive feedback system, based on different metrics, separate from the textual comment system.

Like something which allows me to say:

Amenities: 3/5 What can be improved: Stack up the toilet paper, fix the broken shower handle (Uber style feedback from multiple choice)
Cleanliness: 2/5 What can be improved: Toilet wasn't clean enough
Hostmanship: 4/5 What can be improved: Communication

Etc.
So maybe colleges need a cost-of-living adjustment?
One of the benefits of using a model like this is that it can make recommendations that are contradictive of human biases but still high quality.

For any hypothetical situation, "What if AI makes this unethical recommendation?", we can't actually answer this question unless it happens, because as humans, the reasoning behind such a situation are hard for us to imagine in a hypothetical.
I'm just going to point out regarding schools: if you let the state come build it for you, you're probably going to get a big, deadly dumpster fire of a school. It'll be a regional consolidated school so they can put a huge educational campus all in one place. It'll be far from any town because that's where the land is cheap. Everyone will have to choose between driving their kids to school or putting them on hour-long bus rides. And it'll abut a road where the 85th percentile speed is in excess of 50mph, which is not the smartest place for a hive of people who are immature and inadequately familiar with their own mortality. And some of them will probably be driving to it, too.

Then 25 years from now, those kids will find the asterisk from the state where they find themselves liable for all the maintenance on the huge complex they couldn't afford in the first place when the ceiling is leaking and there are cracks growing in the gymnasium's walls.

Hard to imagine why they don't have much affection for the programs provided by taxation. Admittedly, it's petty to take those grievances out on the local government, which probably provides the only public services they like. But when all you hear about is federal and state foolishness, and all you can affect is your own town, the misplaced anger isn't that surprising.
This seems to be the AI equivalent of "well there's no rule that says a dog can't play basketball!"
most people doesn't recognise that this is the "I don't have anything to hide"-folks wetest dream.

this kind of article is just free advertisement for the companies selling this crap.

even here, the top comment now is about how someone never felt safer in China, probably because they " have nothing to hide"
Agreed, but that is a very different point from the one I responded to.
Another huge Dart fan here. While I love Dart, my complaint is exactly the same as yours, JSON serialization/deserialization. I don't want to think about all the hours I've lost researching various 3rd party packages which didn't meet my needs. In my opinion, it's so important, first-class support should've been done right out of the gate.

Edit: There was a repo for ideas to address this: https://github.com/matanlurey/dart_serialize_proposal

> It can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If you're lucky and the deal goes through you get to pay that out of the investment, if you're unlucky and the deal does not go through due to major surprises during the DD then you may end up not being able to raise at all and you'll still bear the costs, if the surprises are due to the company failing to properly disclose stuff early on that they could have reasonably been expected to know about then there is a fair chance they will end up being saddled with the costs of the counterparty.

TradeLanes is looking for engineers needing a gloabl challenge
TradeLanes has a dream of frictionless global trade transactions, bringing the world's' supply chain into the 21st century. We need visionary engineers to help us realize that dream.

We're currently looking to hire software engineers in SF or remote around the West Coast and Mountain regions.

We currently have a production product and customers but we need to take it to the next level. The challenges we’ll be facing in the next 2 years will be considerable. As we continue to expand our product lines we’ll need to build a highly secure, highly scalable systems, that our customers will crucially depend on. Understanding scale, performance, product value and engineering excellence are all things everyone on the team will be well versed in.

As for the nitty gritty:

* We’re problem solvers first and code writers second. You should feel the same way.

* Node is a huge plus here, and you should have experience with frameworks like Express.js, Hapi.js or others.

* Good working knowledge of front-end development is very desirable, especially frameworks like React, Angular, Ember or other similar frameworks.

* We run relational databases so experience with MySQL or PostgreSQL is desirable. Experience with NoSQL databases like MongoDB or CouchDB is also a phenomenal bonus.

* AWS DevOps experience would be amazing, but if you don’t know it, we’ll train you in it.

* We believe in TDD and expect you to be comfortable with it. If you’ve never done it before, no problem, you'll get training in that.

> AI-powered price discrimination

They do make a point of saying "The cost of a subscription doesn’t vary based on a reader’s score", probably for exactly the reasons you cite -- that's some murky untested law to wade into. I'm sure no company wants to be the first to have to base their defense on "but the AI did it!"

A discriminatory paywall has a similar effect as discriminatory pricing, but feels like safer legal territory because it happens before money changes hands.

(But does it still count as discrimination if you give the product away for free, but only to certain types of customer?)

I'd prefer to sort them by points. By age is interesting, by the way.

Do you do some deduplication. Some classics are resubmitted a few times successfully. Perhaps add a third sort criteria, that is sorted by the number of big reposts.
I would imagine that has a lot to do with what you cite it to support. The conclusions here are weak where innate ability is concerned, yet I suspect that’s where you were headed. I can cite studies showing worse outcomes for African Americans for example, but I’d be a deceptive ass if I tried to pawn that of as proof off innate differences.
Colleges tend to make it very easy to live in a new area, though. It's a problem that they've had to deal with for centuries, and one that they tend to be very sensitive towards.

There are dormitories and meal plans, but those can be expensive. For the frugal, most universities have their own small housing departments which help students find safe and affordable housing in the area.

But maybe there's a bit of a personality thing in how people view the experience. My grandmother, for example, cannot understand why I don't feel a strong connection and pull towards the land that I was born on. Whereas I cannot understand why anyone would.
I miss Reader much more than I miss Wave.

Wave helped sour me to hyped ideas. Reader made me bitter to even attempted google+. To the point that i forget google+ still exists quite commonly. I almost feel guilty that I don't know more about it.

Interesting tech where the roll-out was botched.

My organisation desperately wanted to use this, but since invites were limited and rolled out slowly, we couldn't, since you can't have half of the org using a collaboration tool like this. So the initial buzz about this was killed quickly when no-one could use it for any serious work, then once it was generally available, people had lost interest. Google has a habit of botching roll-outs like this.

Google Docs in its current form has a lot of features that were in Wave, and people seem to like and use that.
"Political correctness" is one of those high-signal low-content phrases. People on opposite sides of the debate can't even agree on what it means.

I wrestled with it by trying to come up with a 2x2 matrix (https://medium.com/@tunesmith/the-competing-definitions-of-p...) - I generally believe it's possible to exchange ideas completely, honestly, and respectfully without compromising meaning or passion.

I still get stuck on the subject of trolling, though. It's distributed and weaponized in a way that wasn't possible in Aristotle's days. Difficult to find a principled way to shut it down that is consistent with the principles of free exchange of ideas.
A proper due diligence will definitely include founder background checks, as well as background checks for other key personnel or executives. For a seed round or small investment (<$2M or so) such things are usually not done.
> I find a bit of solace in the fact that implementing a data structure like this in a non-garbage collected language without Rust is also quite tricky

What? No it isn't. The entire problem here is incorrectly assuming that "A owns B" implies "A has a pointer to B". I don't know if this is a Rust-imposed constraint, but it certainly isn't a logically necessary one. Just do what C++ (and C#, etc.) do: the data structure (std::list, etc.) owns all the nodes, and the nodes merely reference each other. The nodes don't own their siblings. It makes sense and it doesn't get tricky.

I grew up in a rural town. I left right when I turned 18, and so did most everyone I know. Maybe they shouldn't have let WalMart come in and destroy all the local businesses. Maybe they shouldn't have sold the paper mill to 4 different conglomerates with significant lay-offs each time. And maybe now they shouldn't vote republican in every election like they truly don't give a shit about anybody.

I see it more as a matter that some people read to actively source news, but not everyone does. These people are likely origin points for sharing news more broadly, so you want to make it easy for those key users to generate potential traffic for new customer acquisition.

I think the problem is that it's a bit easy to exploit, and articles from the major publications get shared enough anyway that I don't think giving everyone the ability to "sample" really changes the decision to buy.
