> Housing...? I think that we've seen laissez faire markets can build a certain type of city (car-suburb) in certain conditions (green-field). In cities that already exist... IDk. Housing in europe is not that much better now that socialism is gone. The stuff in the house, way better. The house, nope.

I can't speak for europe's cases. Can you share some data, anecdotes or articles? Housing is also one of the things where every country has its own rules.

For example, in San francisco you have 3 story buildings galore, and in argentina you have 8 story buildings much like spain does. And yet both places, by similar criteria, restrict higher buildings: in SF they dont want taller than 3 stores, and in argentina they dont want anything taller than 12 stories.

Housing has also, globally, been part of a very particular cycle in the last 20 years. First the run up to 2008, and now a decade of rising city populations, pent-up demand and low interest rates.

> Free markets work well when there are nicely sloping supply and demand curves, plenty of competition, and coordination can happen via prices. Price systems can't coordinate the infrastructure & public service requirements of cities. They can't usually affect supply much. All they can do is "allocate" a limited supply, based on wealth. Allocation always happens, whether you use ration cards or markets. At this point, I think half the population might prefer ration cards.

More than half the population are owners, at least in the us and most countries I looked at. So no, they do not want ration cards.
Moreover the biggest issue of implementing housing policy is that the locals are permanent but the visitors , even though they are more, dont stay long and dont have the capacity to vote. If San Francisco made a law about construction, and allowed any person that lived more than 1 year in san francisco in the last decade to vote, the renters, foreigners and visitors would land-slide any vote where the local property owners would like get their way. But because that is impractical and impossible, the locals get to put the rules, rules like prop 13, rent control, etc.

Housing IS unique en the aspects you say: land is limited, and thus deciding how to split it is a hard problem. Thankfully the solution old, known and consented by economists: just put a land value tax. Let every piece of land be responsible for the local taxes, and suddenly the locals themselves, being responsible for their expenditures, will vote for construction themselves.

Is there any evidence that Apple are moving to a services model? More than anyone else, they have succeeded at making services add-ons for their own hardware.

Yeah, but that link is a Firefox hardware report. How many Firefox users are on Chromebooks?
Lol "Job in Chain" with these salaries it does come close to slavery so I guess the naming is right ...

What kind of a CTO works for 50K = I guess only those gagging to put "CTO" on their resume? Also exactly how much does an average engineer get when the CTO makes 50K ... Participating in such BS games is fraud against yourself and anyone who receives your CV in future. If you send me your CV and it has blockchain/ethereum/IOTA or similar listed, you'll get shifted to the other pile before you can say proof-of-work.
Remember at that time Windows 8 was the MS solution for tablets and MS was getting killed in the tablet space as iOS took off. Windows 8 wasn't officially out until a year after the first iPad. They had to get it out asap.
That's actually a very good question. Moreover, if inflation really happened in the early universe, its almost impossible that the Higgs would have remained in the metastable vacuum during that period. Thus only fine-tuning wouldn't be enough to explain our existence.

Thanks. The link should be updated to point to this LWN article, IMO.
I think that state-sponsored propaganda is a threat to democracy, no matter how small the audience is. Just look at what's happening in countries like Turkey, where authoritarian figureheads weren't taken seriously because they were "fringe".
I don't know enough about how these things work to verify his comment that metal is only a concern if you dry hit, but a dry hit just means it ran out of juice and you didn't notice, so you accidentally inhale a disgusting taste of burnt metal/fabric, rather than vaporized liquid. Normally though, you have liquid sitting in a tank touching metal, glass and/or plastic. Maybe glass and good metals don't leach into the liquid, but there are tons of cheaply made devices out there, and I wouldn't bet my health without seeing better studies that some sort of metallic or plastic compounds couldn't leach into the liquid, to then be vaporized and inhaled.
Me and everyone I know have barely ever taken taxis before the taxi apps arrived. It was a long wait, expensive and quality sucked. And if you hailed a cab on the street, you had two options: expensive or incredibly shitty (unoficial ones).

Now it's common to order an Uber everywhere, few times a day. Open competition brought prices down, short wait removed the barrier, and star feedback have had a very significant effect on quality.

It's not just monopolizing existing market, it's improving it for customers.
All news is based. Anyone telling you otherwise (that they are fair and balanced and unbiased) is lying to you. I don't need CNN to explicitly tell me their biases, because they are not my only source of news. It's not CNN's job to make sure i get unbiased news. It my job to make sense of biased news and weave it into a consistent mental model of the world. This let's me do things like watch CNN and Fox News and recognize when they're not telling me the full story. That's the only way to fight this kind of thing.
I mean, why not though? We do it with wikipedia. Maybe a publication could be submitted for review, but not made public (like, its up on the wiki, but not 'publicly view-able yet, only available to editors).
It seems like the issue is a lack of competition, if I don't like what Sinclair is saying I can not watch it, but if they own all the stations then I don't have that choice. The FCC did all this while everyone was distracted with net neutrality, so even if it came up again there the FCC knows how to distract people already. I'm just not sure what I as a viewer/voter can do about except wait for the next election, and even then, there's no guarantee that the candidate who wins is going to do anything about it.

But... looking at the list of stations Sinclair owns[0]... where are the markets that they control all the stations, defined as ABC+NBC+FOX+CBS? I honestly don't see any. Is this more of a concern if they do manage to get all of these, or if the merger with Tribune Media goes through?

And even AppImage, a solution I frequently praise mind you, doesn't always work right.

It's 2018 and the Linux Desktop still doesn't have a consistent way to... well do anything now that I think about it, but that you can't even reliably distribute an application is pretty insane.

Flatpak and Snaps are a typical Linux Desktop solution: Over-engineer the shit out of it.
I guess "what Rush Limbaugh can't do" is a better baseline in your case.
I've had 1 body repair to my Tesla. My insurance didn't total the car, and there were several local certified body shops to choose from. It was the same process as with other cars, I've never had a dealer do body work.
Everything has a baseline cost, also in matter of time... no matter in what area we are speaking, side businesses or side hobbies. Even when delegating we have at least to manage part of the work.
I am not a conservative so I'm voicing what I understand to be someone else's opinion.

The major media companies including CNN heavily toed the government line that religious groups do not have the right to avoid paying for child murder on religious grounds.

Government funded public universities regularly hassle, cancel, and provide insufficient security for conservative speakers. This is government funded censorship and the media has carefully avoided putting it in those terms because they support the position of censoring conservatives.

>They wanted tens of billions of dollars for a symbolic wall

In fact the wall would have been physical, rather than 'symbolic'
I don't know, maybe because it has the word "deficit" in it. Maybe we should rename it "dollar winnings" or "greenback surpluses". I am pretty sure the trade deficit is driven by the desire of people outside of US to own dollars and dollar denominated assets. As long as US has the strongest military and is seen as the haven for the rich people around the world to park their earnings the trade deficit will always be there, unless capital control is imposed.

No it isn't. Your parent comment was correct.
Not sure I ever had flagging power. I have never desired to flag anybody before now. If you want HN to degrade into rabid political name-calling, don't flag the people who do it. This person took the opportunity to level multiple refutable accusations at Trump, on a topic that had nothing to do with Trump. Would you rather I had engaged him at his level?

Serious question - how were you planning to ship it back?

If it's a foam mattress, it doesn't exactly go back in the original box, because it's vacuum packed and expands after opening.
The alternative business model that the world is moving to is Open Access. The difference being that instead of paying to access the journal or paper, the researcher or institution that wishes to publish pays up front to have the paper published.

Open Access has its own problems, such as predatory journals, where researchers who don't know better or who are desperate to publish are more or less lied to as to the reach and validity of a journal. It has become an area ripe for a new kind of scammers. This has prompted efforts such as Think, Check, Submit[1].

There's also the problem with raising the funds to publish something as Open Access. It's not always the case that the researcher actually has the means to pay for Open Access.

Nevertheless, Open Access is clearly the way where the research community is headed, and we're going to see a steady growth in percentage of research published as such over the next decade or so. But it does come with its own set of problems to solve.

"One goes against the government's views, the other one pushes it."

No, that's not it.

A free press is "free" because it's unconstrained by a Government or capricious regulation, not because it "goes against the government's views". Sometimes members of a free press will support the government, other times they won't.

It's not a priori virtuous to go against the Government's views. Sometimes the Government is right and sometimes it's not. Like everyone else.
Don't Blame Jeff Immelt for GE's Stock Woes
I'm saying that the alleged comma users are actually mixing both dots and commas.

Western keyboards descended from an American layout that's missing the comma. It's common for comma users to use a dot instead, because they don't have a choice. Also, a lot of software will refuse the input even if they go out of their way to write a comma.

China and India have numerous languages with their own numeric representation. It's not really relevant. Don't think for a minute that there are any standard for the entire population.

>> Investment into China is difficult

> it's also not trade.

That's not true in the slightest [0]. Trade can be imagined as transactions on a two sided ledger. Investment can be seen as a trade of capital for a claim on future returns from the investment.

> China has effectively been waging a trade war with the US for the past 20 years. ... America just hasn’t responded—which I find baffling.

"Hasn't responded"? It was America's idea in the first place!

It started 24 years ago with the Clinton administration granting China "most favored nation" status.[0] A controversial move at the time, and one that broke a one of Clinton's campaign promises.

Lest anyone think I'm being partisan about this, it's worth noting that the previous administration (George H.W. Bush) had also been supportive of the idea of opening up trade with China, so it was not limited to any one political party. The idea of opening trade with China had been brewing for a long time, and accelerated once the end of the Cold War occurred. 1994 was when it finally came to pass, thus setting up the events we've seen play out between China and the US for the next two and a half decades. Who knows where it will go from here?

It's particularly sad to go back and read statements from past US presidents expressing optimism that there would be "long-term sustainable progress on human rights" in China as a result of expanding trade, especially given what's happening today with China's "social credit" system.[1]

> This tax is not going to increase the cost of a new home 1:1 as markets still exist. It's going to reduce the profit of a new home construction and thus the value of existing land.

Reducing the profit of new construction increases the value of land, as it reduces the supply of housing. Study case, san francisco. It has a 0.1 supply elasticity: if rental prices went up 100%, construction units move by 10%.

Any tax that is put on construction reduces construction.

> The ideal amount of growth is where the total cost of new construction balances the demand for new construction. I am simply including externalities as part of that cost. Any other system makes some group richer at the cost of everyone else.

Your system makes local homeowners with very old large houses very rich: not for the house, but the land they have that appreciates because it is harder to build around it.

Would this be possible to do this on top of regular email. I mean, it would be a glorified email list manager.

What is the core "thing" a social network provides that email is missing in emails?

Another thing that just occurred to me is that, Facebook really took off because of the creepy/stalking aspect of it. Because people shared stuff with people, that they wouldn't have shared other wise, exploiting their innate drive to show off...

To answer my own question, an email list will never let that happen.

And something like that ll never take off because of that. Or may be in the light of recent events, if those ends up reaching into the physce of the society deep enough, something like that just might...
The Engineering Director positions don't appear to be on the website.
Apple is not moving to services, they are very much a hardware company. Services are for them more like a thing to make the hardware more attractive.

Microsoft has not really been in hardware space before (except consoles, otherwise it was mostly accessories). I believe they jumped to laptops, tablets and desktops to have full control of the user experience.
I often wonder if there’s a subconscious bias against large teams that causes some of theee problems.

I know I get uncomfortable with the ineffectiveness of large teams and I’ve seen half a dozen people do some amazing work a handful of times and my own biases clearly favor moving heaven and earth to keep a dozen people plus support staff as productive as possible.

When someone asks me to work with more people than that, I drag my feet.
If you believe anything Trump says during a speech, then you are doing it wrong. Always look at the man's actions, instead of paying attention to his words.
We launched Humbot a couple of months back. With Humbot, we're providing instant homework help for school kids by real humans. We charge a fixed fee of only $99/month.

Humbot Boost is our scholarship program: Students can apply and, if selected, can access Humbot for a significantly reduced rate of only $15/month.
We launched Boost because our goal is to drive down the cost of high-quality education in the coming years. We aim to offer 1-on-1 tutoring at a lower price to everyone someday. Unfortunately, today we can't build a sustainable business with this pricing. But with Boost, we can start enabling more and more kids from lower-income families to improve their education and do better at school.

I know that HN users are not our direct target group, but I'm happy to hear your thoughts and feedback. Also, feel free to share it with loved ones that could benefit from this.
My reading of that definition is that it depends on not being or claiming to have any skill at art whatsoever. Limbaugh can't see the distinction that makes those things art and suspects that nobody else can either; that it's only art because it was produced by an artist.

Of course this is a facile take on art, but there's a nugget of a question in there... if exhibits were anonymous and selected by lottery, how many famous artists who got the space would be recognized as genius vs. unknown artists vs. cranks out to show that art appreciation is a joke?
