Placing an Activ Flex by Band-Aid on a skin cut seems to act as a true temporary replacement "second skin", and the cut heals far more rapidly then a regular band-aid. It heals in a similar time-scale as this article says is regular for the mouth.

I'm sure there are other brands or technologies that act similarly, but once I found this particular type of bandage I never had the thought of using anything else.
This is a huge issue I agree with. I'd never fly with my dog in cargo. However, one thing that I think gets overlooked is that in accommodating people's pet, are we being unaccommodating to others? What about those who have pet allergies? They would expect to be able to fly in peace as well. Or people with life experience that makes them afraid of dogs. You'd think the airline would be easy to work with but is that really on the person with allergies to make themselves comfortable when the argument for ESAs is that we should all be accommodating to these people and their animals/issues? Do we need to have pet friendly/no pet flight options? Or do we need the airlines to be pro-active in accommodating for people with their pets when they could just as easily say "No. Deal with it"? Good luck convincing the airlines that they need to accommodate for society. They won't even make planes someone over 6'5" can sit in comfortably.

Outside of Cats/Dogs, if somebody sits down next to me with their Emotional Support Snake there's gonna be some loud WTFs and GTFOs and just a problem overall. Could the airline talk to individual passengers about this snake being near them on their flight beforehand? Sure. Are they going to? Nope. Better to just say there will be no gosh darn snakes on this gosh darn plane.
Is most of the hype the result of developer “signaling”?
We started out trying to write a general method to convert top-down dynamic programming to bottom-up and this was as far as we got. Working around finite stack sizes and generating the topological sort of the function states are the only practical uses that I can think of.

Was more of an interesting challenge personally.
> but the birth rate for millineials in CA hasn't been this low since the great depression

I think this might need a rewording to convey whatever idea you were trying to convey, because I have a hunch there weren't many millennials around during the Great Depression. :-)
Seattle is full and the weather is dreadful. It rains 364 days a year and the other day of the year is full of smoke from forest fires. Please consider Portland instead.
So imagine being completely unable to live in the place you grew up in once an adult, and forced to emigrate not from choice but financial necessity. Its pretty much a bummer.
One of the greatest strengths of the Texas legislature is that almost everything is written in to the constitution, thereby being almost impossible to change. So for this reason the (proven disastrous) legal and business theories that have messed up housing costs in California would have a very hard time taking root here.
[California has been experiencing a years-long downward trend that likely stems from the recession, a drop in teenage pregnancies and an increase in people attending college and taking longer to graduate, therefore putting off having children, said Walter Schwarm, a demographer at the Department of Finance. When people do complete their schooling, they're interested in taking some time to pursue their careers or other goals, he said.]

Except recession everything else that is contributing to lower birth rate seems side effect of progress.
Those companies rather skipped billions of dollars in profit than to help Chinese regime. Apple decided to use their lockdown to assist in clamping down on VPNs and other freedom of speech to make money.
Putting these two on equal footing is evil.
It's no wonder that high-earning individuals are moving into California. A few numbers I ran across on the web:

- Bay Area economy is growing 3X (!!!) faster than average in US.

- Santa Clara region has an income average of $98,000, top 5 amonst the nation

- Average salary for Software Engineers for San Francisco is $210,000

This of course doesn't bode well for mid to lower income citizens, who now have to move out as far as antioch or stockton to afford a home. Bad for a family of 4, still doable for singles that can room with roommates near work. We really do need to have more housing in regions that are underdeveloped and soon will be served by the BART extension, google's building foray in downtown san jose, buildout in the caltrain stops between Redwood City and South San Francisco, etc.
As someone from Dallas here, the people from California that move here never fully adapt but they do conform to Texas after a year or two. That being said there are places that are much more "California like" than Texan like popping up on occasion.
Portland Uber drivers complained about this phenomenon when I visited a while ago. Bay area transplants were buying into Portland through new high rise developments that locals detest.
someone still has to mop the floors.
Switch supports Vulkan and their own low level API, NVN.

Just like Sony did in the past with the PS 3 and GL ES 1.0, they are just testing waters to see which way devs go.

In the PS3 devs preferred to pick Sony's API instead.
> My answer to that would be they offered more value than the trusted brand

So much value that things went wrong and now you're explaining yourself.

I'm sure there is a $$$ number that would convince me to move to California, but I'm not sure there are many companies willing to pay it and I would be super worried the entire time I was there about possible unemployment.

I feel like there is going to be a blood bath in the Bay Area if we're actually in a bubble and it bursts. The next five to ten years should be an interesting ride.
I agree completely. Dogs by their very nature need to be with their humans most of the time. For those who travel often, it is not really an option to leave the dog at home alone all the time.

If we are going to allow people to have dogs, then our society needs to allow dogs to move through it... This seems obvious. Dogs should be allowed to go everywhere that humans go (with certain extreme exceptions).

We already have rules in place for unruly or destructive behavior, and the same should apply to dogs.

If I'm traveling and I need to stay in a hotel, I don't want anyone to fuck with me because I have my dog. He is small, and silent. No one will even know he is there, and yet, it is always a huge pain in the ass to bring him places.
Abusing python can really save your life sometimes. I think my favorite recent hack has been accessing and MODIFYING callers variable, due to inability to get it passed through the Django module to the callback.

request = caller.f_locals['request']
request.session['invite_accepted'] = True

That depends on how you figure. Do you mean socially? Legally? Business-wise? There are a lot of complex forces at play to make Silicon Valley the way it is (including history). I don’t think it’s fair to tell any group not to “make” some city like their previous one. Furthermore, one nice thing about the American melting pot is everyone gets a voice. If enough people move to Texas and change its culture, that’s just something you have to deal with (or move, I suppose).
Same here. I've lived places where it might still be 80F at midnight, but I still need a sheet.
On the east side of Washington in Spokane, the houses are going up due to the influx of Californians. Average price was around 120k, now you can see houses in the 300k for entry level with basic kitchens.

Also, lots of modern brew pubs are popping up that easily charge Seattle prices for food and beer. (Way too expensive for locals)

Had a co-worker who's family moved up from California and bought a 600k house on 10 acres. The price per acre has been going up like crazy, use to be 2-3K per acre in the rural areas,its upto 10K+ now, even 20K, for forest land in the sticks, when 5 acre lots going for 100k, thats nuts, no well or power...

Crazy, since the local wages don't even support those price.
You bandage wounds to keep out bacteria, and it is your skin having to fight off less infections that make it heal faster. Consider that Neosporin,aka generic triple antibiotic ointment, does increase the speed of external wound healing. It does this because of its antibiotic properties. Nothing to do with moisture far as I know, where did you get that notion?
It is worth noting that guide data/patent company Rovi (not Roku or Rovio) bought Tivo in the summer of 2016, then took their name.
a solution is on the table— sb-827. please research it. californians (and i am one too) need to stop complaining and start fixing things. this bill fixes things. it needs our attention and support.

UPDATE: sb-827 prevents local governments in california from banning density near public transit. it represents the most radical housing bill in recent california history, because it rebalances control from hyperlocal municipalities to the state level. it could unlock 3m housing units in a state building <100k a year. that's 30 years of pent-up supply, and it could actually affect market prices.

That would make its way to the Supreme Court well before that, don’t worry. Then it’ll either be legal everywhere or illegal everywhere. #federalism
Yes, it was. Also, in case it wasn't clear, that rule only applied to communications services, not your average website.

Curious where you got that? I looked at the Hired salary info yesterday, and it was far shy of that.
Thanks for the detailed explanation! I'm mostly a dynamic languages programmer, but I've been reading (and enjoying) Type-Driven Development with Idris, and I have a plan to learn Haskell after that. If such a relationship wasn't modellable, I'm not sure I would have bothered after all.
> theoretically meaning money laundering, tax evasion, and terrorist funding would be easier to track and prevent etc

How? Can you elaborate?

Just because the ledgers are public doesn't mean governments can track and prevent fraud and terrorism. It's common knowledge that there are just about 1650 bitcoin addresses that own > 1000 bitcoin (they are called Whales). But no-one knows which individual or company or group of people own those addresses.

So how will any govt be able to stop tax evasion and terrorist simply by knowing the public wallet / ledger address?
I vacated California for New Mexico 14 years ago (No regrets). The price of a U-Haul was so high that I was able to buy a used, good condition 12 foot cargo trailer for about 20% more than the price of a same sized rental. I still have it and use it as a big storage locker. When prices get that lopsided it's time to go shopping.

I'm not new, I've had countless accounts over the years, about a decade longer than you, with complete disinterest in being gamified, a different account on each browser on each device. You get excited about karma if you like. The complaint wasn't about being downvoted, it was about the people who do it with a complete lack of rationality, or consistency if you look at the other comments. Some threads attract intelligent people, some threads... bless. I've always considered HN downvoting to be broken, and will complain about it as much as I like. Guidelines are for children and idiots; I've lived long enough to know how to behave without some valley kid's views. Delete it for what? Flag it if you want - I've seen far more stupid flags than that.

It's lower income, lower education people who are out-migrating, and those groups tend to be more right leaning on average. So if anything, the states are becoming even more uniform politically.

Absolutely not.

If you want an iterative function, write one. It's not harder than writing a recursive one (although sometimes a bit less readable).

Writing an iterative function is also both faster than the recursive function, and much faster than the hack.

Still a neat hack, though.
Resources to learn project management best practices?
My side project is beginning to attract interest from a few people who would like to hop on board. At this point I am just doing what feels familiar and sensible, but the project manager perspective is new to me. Are there any sort of articles/books/podcasts/etc that could clue me into how to become better at it?

What is Amazon's angle here?

To get a video and photo ID of every person, living at an address? Then they will run this through a face recognition deep learning AI, to get a digital facial ID of everyone.

Now, they just one-upped Facebook. Where they know who lives where, and what type of person they are. Male, female, young, old, skinny, fat, short, tall, ethnicity, clothing style preferences, music preferences, healthy or sick.

Now, you don't even need to fill out those advertising questionnaires on who you are. Amazon will just collect it automatically from this Ring doorbell camera.

Now, they have a definitive demographic information on you, for targeted advertising. They can either email you, or snail mail you. Since now, they know exactly who you are. As well as who else lives with you.

And when you sign onto Amazon, the ads will be targeted directly at you.

1. Hey, it looks like you have a daughter at home. Do you want to buy her a nice little necklace for Christmas? We have a nice selection on sale here.

2. Or if you are black. Hey, if you spend $20 on Amazon today, we can get you free movie tickets to see the new Black Panther movie.

3. Or if you are Asian. Hey, there is a new Chinese restaurant opening up in your area. Spend $50 on Amazon today, and we can get you a free lunch special.

And the birth rate for Millennials has been zero for pretty much all of history, except for a short blip on the late 20th Century. And that's not an effect limited to CA.
Most other "blue" states suffer from the same problem as California: massive wealth concentration and the subsequent sky-high rents and real estate prices.

I know when I was seriously considering relocating, the politics of the region wasn't a consideration. I was far more concerned about availability of jobs (and cost of living relative to what I could earn). If I were in SF and couldn't get a job at Big Tech, I'd be looking to move to a red state. Not for political reasons, just because it's better to be a median dev in a flyover state than a bottom quartile dev in SF/Seattle/NYC/etc.
The gap between the last version of OpenGL that Apple supports and the release of Metal for OSX is 5 years. Even giving metal a few years of development it still means Apple abandoned OSX graphics before they began working on Metal at all. Given that they updated GLES on iOS for a couple of years after the last update to OpenGL on OSX it seems more plausible that macOS is just a second-class citizen to Apple, or at least the graphics are.
By and large califirnia is a red state: outside the major urban areas the state is mostly quote red; some urban areas (e.g. Orange county) are also quite red and those populations send conservatives to congress.

But because the majority of the population do live in major urban areas you see the state legislature about 70/30 D/R and the statewide offices tend to go to the majority as well.

But within recent memory there have been several republican governors, two of whom (nixon and regan) became US presidents.

So though I don't see much chance of the state tipping "red" any time soon it's not an utterly outlandish idea.
Don't most regulations? I'm not a citizen of a certain state, but when I drive through it, I still have to abide by their speed limit laws.

All the rule does is prohibit net metering. If you never sell your power on the grid it's irrelevant. So you're free to use your 4kw directly.

Presumably this is a hassle because most equipment is designed for net metering where the system is setup to feed all generated capacity to the grid and consume all energy directly from the grid. So without net-metered billing, to avoid paying the retail premium you'd probably need a very expensive system that eliminates the cost effectiveness.

In fairness, AFAIU most utilities despise net metering. From their perspective they're the ones getting screwed, and the TVA billing system more fairly compensates them for infrastructure costs.
I think this is a non-problem now. As of now, you want to grow your user base as much as possible. Since all your users are paying, you are not carrying a dead weight of freemium.
Build up user count by any means possible. Only once you will see a significant drop in growth of revenue try to upsell current user base by adding important features.

Keep, for example, Cloudflare in mind. They have first built their user base, and once they were used by thousands of companies, they started offering additional options, Enterprise ($2K+) accounts etc. Focus on growth first, and keep some aces in your pocket for the time your revenue will stall. This way you will be able to be innovative whenever growth is slow, and there is a possibility a competitor will show up and take your business.
A caveat: this example shows that you can read the value of a local variable, not that you can modify it. If you try actually assigning to an element of f_locals, as opposed to just dereferencing it, you'll find that the modification doesn't take effect due to optimizations in CPython's bytecode interpreter.
Its funny that people fixate on tax when discussing this issue yet if you look at the numbers its high earners who move into the state.

Fractional reserve banking is one part of it, but the really horrible things occurred when we left the gold standard so almost unlimited debt can be created. People started investing in stocks instead of bonds, which is probably part of why Glass-Steagall was repealed.
