Maybe theoretically that works. But it's still not fair in the way that you think it is.

100k people move in and several things happen: you need a new sewage treatment plant, new some more transit capacity, new schools, etc. You are proposing that the new people pay for this expansion. But you are neglecting the ways in which you benefit.

By building more schools, each school serves a geographically smaller area, meaning school buses drive a lot less. You can also have higher student-to-administrative ratios (even if student to teacher ratios stay the same). By having more transit riders, your transit system might need additional capacity, but it will be using that transit capacity much more efficiently, because transit system is a step-fixed cost business, and more riders means more profitability (or less subsidy). You aren't getting any benefits to scale on the sewage treatment plant, but you will get benefits on the water provision: smaller and higher density housing uses far less water per person than single family homes with yards, etc.

So yeah, if new people move in, you're gonna need a new sewage treatment plant. If you charge the new residents for the new sewage treatment plant, are you gonna credit them for the improved efficiency of the transit system, school system, and water system? Or are you gonna try to keep those benefits to yourself?

Somehow I think its all just a bit easier to treat every person as the same whether they're new to the area or not.
I'm not clear why this is a problem. A corporation asked its broadcasters to make a statement on fake news. This statement sounds similar to others made by other corporate owned networks. Viewers are invited to comment on the website.

No zoning is awful - just look at Houston. Factories and power plants build abutting residential neighbourhoods without any communal impact discussions.

How do you properly price these impacts?
HN probably isn't the best demographic to ask.

Generally speaking, many people here would rather do open-source side projects in Blockchain or React Native and play video games.
Haha, more alarmist nonsense.

It’s always something - the meddling into people’s lives never stops.
Your comment really made me think for a while why this might be happening. And I have a few conjectures.

1. When a protectionist market is created, global companies generally tend to avoid competing in them. What this means is that the local companies producing the protected goods are generally one-market only. They're only interested in the protected market and know they're shielded from foreign competition... less competition == less incentive to make world class products. And new firms will not generally target the captive market created by regulation unless they know the regulations will stay that way for many decades to come.

2. If you can create regulations to keep foreign competitors out, you can also use regulations to keep domestic competitors out. This is a favorite strategy used by bigger corporations in countries with lax implementation of laws, but strict laws on paper. Just threaten smaller firms that they will be sued and take them over.

> Why should housing not be to governed by market forces?

Housing can and should of course be managed by market forces. Land usage rights distribution is where the problem lies.

For physical reasons there is no supply of new land. We'd have to wait until Mars or Moon colonization, which would pop the ongoing land price inflation.

Until then it's just a market in which the sooner you get in the better off you'll be. Which is why older generations and aristocracy benefit from such arrangement.

Later generations are just told to shut up and accept that you have to slave more and more each decade to be afford living. Until a revolution of some sort.

The funny thing is the misnomer 'to own land'. The only thing you own is a right to use the parcel, which is guaranteed by no one else but the population. And the population is not paid to provide such a service.

Payment for actual usage on ongoing basis is a solution. Such as land tax or government lease.

Worked wonders in countries founded on this principle.

A warrant or a hack. Don't trust the manufacturers to be able to secure these devices.
No, "any low Z liquid" is not acceptable. It absolutely must contain 6Li to breed tritium. And it's quite likely that strong neutron absorbers would not be acceptable unless they also made tritium. The beryllium serves as a neutron multiplier -- the 5th neutron has the lowest binding energy of any neutron in a stable nucleus -- so without it the neutronics will suffer. DT reactor concepts already have issues breeding enough tritium to overcome inevitable losses.

Dismissing something as "an engineering problem" is typical of plasma physicists. Fission has only "engineering problems" and yet those are quite sufficient to render a technology uncompetitive.
I've participated in many of the online groups you've mentioned. While there have certainly been communities pop up in the places you mention they are, by and large, populated with enthusiasts sharing details about their equipment and preferred vendors, and boutique manufacturers advertising their products. Obvious attempts to shill products manufactured by large corporate firms are roundly rejected by these communities. What evidence do you have to support claims of astroturfing?
Electron apps are by definition packaged web apps, the desktop where they run is irrelevant.
And there's the catch-22: how do you access the web when the desktop OS's are all gone? Tablets and phones don't cut it and there isn't a single stable desktop OS that hasn't been getting progressively worse for the last 5 years.
The success rate of never smoking/vaping in the first place is 100%.

The success rate of quitting is really up to the individual, much like weight loss or other self improvement stuff. But even if it's hard it's the thing you should do.

I'm really not sure what you're arguing. "Quitting is hard and a lot of people fail so .. don't quit." That's some lame mentality right there.
nothing at all. I am a huge fan of Reich (and other minimalists) I can appreciate that others may not like it, there are many types of music that I don't like but I would never disparage someone for liking it.
> One wonders what would have happened if they just sort of let Windows be Windows. I.e. if they had continued iterating on core stuff but left UI and general philosophy resembling Win7's trajectory and not tried to force people into WinRT/UWP/store.

With Windows 8 they tried to do too much too quickly and not well, however their motivations and intention were spot on in my opinion. Security has always been a pain point for Windows and it's only been getting worse, the Store introduced a sandbox like that found on iOS and Android. ARM, iOS, and Android showed that modern hardware and software can produce power efficiencies that put x86 and Windows to shame. UWP introduced hardware independence and a modern development framework that would put Windows Apps on a level playing field with iOS and Android.

The problem was that Microsoft thought that merely by virtue of their existence, developers would adopt UWP/Store despite the path forward being a huge pain in the ass. We see how that played out. With Windows 10 we've seen a course correction and a change in strategy. You can have traditional Applications sandboxed in the Store, and you can have UWP Apps outside the Store. Microsoft bought Xamarin and is folding it into UWP, the intent is to not just have hardware independence with UWP but also OS independence.

The ones that cooperate with state-sanctioned censorship? Malaysia blocks anti-government news sites via ISP DNS entries; using a 3rd party DNS bypasses the block easily.

Accusing government officials of mismanagement or outright theft of public funds is an easy way to get your domain black holed over here. That, piracy, and porn. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the latter two were thrown in solely to make the program look more legit.

https://cilisos.my/8-sites-the-malaysian-gomen-blocked-in-20...

Perhaps most ridiculously, Medium.com is blocked for simply hosting an article posted by a censored website. Yes, you read that right; they banned an entire domain, the vast majority of which covers nothing even remotely related to Malaysia, over a single article.

I try to be grateful they are as inept at censorship as they are oversensitive to criticism.

To be fair, some applications on some distros have HiDPI issues. LibreOffice [0], icons in GTK2 apps, anything that uses Java Swing, etc. Particularly galling is the oft-suggested fix of temporarily reducing desktop resolution and fowling up all the other apps that are supporting the proper DPI.

> I have to run that archlinux/i3wm setup on the x200 to get more data.

Well, it's Linux; unless you're running Gentoo, you can probably just swap the hard drive :-) Unless of course the SSD is an important part of this test.
My vote? Noise, not music.

I've heard the same thing said about EDM, dubstep, metal, alt rock, rap, punk, pop, rock, and rock and roll.

The truth is, any time you try to draw a bright line between what is and isn't a form of art, someone will try to bisect the line in hopes of creating something new and interesting.

I think when teenagers' music starts to sound like noise to me, it just means I'm getting old.
I am using Happy, which is a yacc-alike for Haskell. I found it mostly straightforward (however, I use the OCaml/Haskell/F# style of lexically distinguishing infix operators from variable names).
(I'm a college student, not a highschool student) among my friends that smoked it wasn't self medication, it was an excuse to socialize. In some environments these can be hard to come by so smoking is an artificial one that lonely people sometimes pick up.
Tariffs are not an effective strategy (for workers or corporations) if you believe in modern economic theory.

It is 100% unnecessary. The lack of political will to maintain a safety net and retrain people is the problem. Tariffs are just going to make that worse when it starts bleeding the economy.
As someone who quit smoking thanks to vaping I cannot fathom why anyone would go the other direction. Why not just continue vaping instead?
Oh, this looks cool. I was looking into building something with a respeaker not too long ago. How does your business model work that you're letting people DIY for free?
I.. really don't agree. I had to use rq because I was working with a toml file and I could not for the life of me figure out even the basic things I was trying to do. The documentation was sparse and unclear compared to jq's relatively concise but clear documentation.

In the end I wound up just using rq to convert the toml to JSON so I could use jq on it.

It was a while ago so I suppose it's possible I just used it too early in its life or something though.

Not sure why people are downvoting w/o commenting. It seems like the study concluded what you are saying - that vaping / eCigs do increase the likelihood you will start smoking actual cigarettes.

> "If you rent it out you are a hotel"

This kind of semantic conflation isn't helpful. A house, rented or not, has almost nothing in common with a typical hotel with dozens of rooms and unrelated guests, complicated egress paths, commercial kitchens, industrial services and controls, etc.

It absolutely makes sense to require hotels to have automatic fire suppression systems, heavy fire doors in every room, video surveillance, or 24-hour guards. And then there's ADA, a whole other conversation.

Hotels aren't pushing for hotel regs to be applied to houses out of some even-handed desire to prevent loopholes. The AH&LA is a cartel trying to have their competition outlawed.
The problem is the corporation. Sinclair has it's own political agenda. Forcing anchors across the US to recite something is bad enough, but when that something is of questionable truth, and orchestrated to minimuze Sinclair's own propensity to push its right-ist agenda, it's downright scary.
Tanium | Emeryville, CA (SF) or Morrisville, NC (RTP) or REMOTE | $80-170k+, bonuses, equity (RSUs)

https://tanium.com/careers/

I just joined Tanium in January, and I love it already. I like the product, I like my team, I like the culture. I never feel like I'm the smartest guy in the room.

Tanium's product is basically computer management/security for government and large enterprises. What makes it special is that it's reliable and fast - customers love us!

Lt. Gen. Bill Bender, the former CIO of the US Air Force, said before he retired that Tanium is "game-changing ... allowing a tremendous amount of automation and reduced workloads for our network operations people significantly, meaning things that used to take them months is now down to seconds, or minutes." [1]

Tanium is about 650~700 people, profitable, and growing fast. We're hiring for all kinds of roles, but I'll call out a few interesting ones below. Benefits include healthcare, 401k match, and self directed/unlimited vacation (most folks take 4~5 weeks).

--

Senior Software Engineer - $120~160k+ - (My role.) The core is mostly C++, and then JavaScript for the modules and admin interface (AngularJS/Node.js - we'll probably upgrade from AngularJS to something newer eventually, but it works for now). There's also small but growing amounts of Rust and Python.

Most Product Engineers work on site, but we also consider candidates for US Remote work (pick the closest one) - SF: https://grnh.se/ixfioowp1 | RTP: https://grnh.se/bxio4pg51

--

Associate & Director of Technical Account Management - The TAM organization within Tanium doesn't really have any parallels that I'm aware of elsewhere. As a TAM, you'd be expected to set up a home lab with a network of machines (or VMs) running our software, and you'd be primarily responsible for advising maybe 2-5 customers for how best to use Tanium. However, TAMs come from all kinds of backgrounds including sysadmin, ops, programming, and security, and really work together as a team to support each other and meet the needs of each customer.

Remote or on site in one of the following countries: Australia, Canada, France, Japan, or USA.

Associate TAM - $80~130k: https://grnh.se/slpflp3j1

Director TAM - $120~170k+: https://grnh.se/r64ytqkl1 (Note: "Director" is indicative of the responsibility level, but it is not a people-managing role.)

Security Engineer - $120~140k (US Remote): https://grnh.se/oghwvo2u1

Product Security Engineer - $120~140k (RTP): https://grnh.se/w007hqa21

>yawning trade deficit between China and the U.S.

But why does a trade deficit between two specific economies (even the largest ones) mean anything in and of itself? And how would punitive tariffs, which are sure to be responded to in kind, help citizens of the US? If we have a trade deficit with a country, meaning we take in more of their goods than they take in of ours, how is this a good idea?

I find it helpful in our current political climate to start by asking, "What if this isn't a completely new paradigm 4D game of political chess but rather idiots doing dumb things?" Given we have seen this particular game played hundreds of times in the past by similarly economically-illiterate ideologues, assuming a different result this time because It's the Future seems hopelessly naive.
