So if they're scraping by maybe due to lean years such as during the recent drought, you would be comfortable with the family business being shut down? Farming is typically a low-margin business.

Over taxation is one of the primary stated reasons some rural Californians are proposing to split the state.[1] So perhaps a solution is to allow farmers to govern themselves and tax land owners appropriately, and big city dwellers to govern themselves, taxing land owners appropriately.

(Note that I don't live in CA so I am neither for nor against. Simply stating facts.)

The Seattle of Harry and the Hendersons!

I visited with my girlfriend in 2015 and stayed in the suburbs where her girlfriend's guy was working for MS. The burbs seemed pretty peaceful and green (older suburb—but I don't know the city). Maybe they were in Redmond proper.

It was a beautiful area, and I could definitely live with that. It's too bad it's pricing people out like that.

We were there only too briefly so we just hit some touristy options like the market and some hipster arcade bar, the Army/Navy, etc.

We live in Toronto and it felt pretty similar overall (though I'd give major points to Seattle for scenery). The same thing is ultimately happening here, too, though. Rents are skyrocketing but wages aren't.

With a lot of the political commotion and the desire for more outdoors activity, I haven't seen much of Canada mentioned in this thread and I'm curious if its landed on the map for anybody. And where?
Just founded my startup - left a high paying job, have two kids, own my house, a lot of liabilities etc.

Figured if I didn't take the risk now I'd always regret it. Things are tight, but each morning I awaken invigorated by the opportunity to create something that matter. Never underestimate the vitality gained by working on something you love.

Realise the liklihood that I don't succeed is high, but when faced with the certainty of lifelong regret if I didn't it simplified things. Time is the only thing I can't get back, honestly, I'm just upset I didn't do it sooner. Managed to convince the CEO/Founder of an existing unicorn to invest, but probably won't be able to draw a salary for 6-12 months, and that is scary.

Would love to discus more, drop me a line if interested: chris@nexves.com

I don't get why you would invest your money into it?

You have more than enough money to retire for life. Get a nice house, add solar power, get your water out of the ground, make your living expense low but with quality.

THAN start putting the most valuable thing into your idea/startup: Your Time. When you have something good enough, to show, find investors. IF your idea is good enough and it is relevant enough, you get help from others. If not, yeah forget it.

I have tons of ideas and do non of them. I have accepted that when i even had an idea, which spun enough in my head that i would talk about it to others, others always didn't like it as much i did.
The BBC has such an extensive and amazing back catalogue of content they wholly own. Why they don't chuck it on iPlayer is beyond me

The infuriating thing is, we’ve already paid for it. Anything BBC should be “free” to anyone who had paid their TV license in the last year it was broadcast. We own it already, it’s sheer extortion to make you pay full price for a DVD.
I don't say that I support or like anything like this, but you can have disadvantages if you don't build your personal brand. - And after all, the meaninglessness of all of this fits well with my way of thinking about this world.

Those social media platforms are creating alternate realities that can become the meaning of life for some. Still better to live in this fake society than being complete nihilistic. I can't even express what I want out of life because I'm too deep in it, I don't want others to feel that void. Better numb than seeing the nothingness.

For HONY: Sociopathic guy supports people in poor situations only for personal gain. This is what I envision - this style of living is perfectly suited for human beings. Being nice because of pure egocentrism. I've thought long about a stable paradigm that enables humans to do good things and help other people - this is exactly the conclusion I've come to.

I don't judge if this is good or bad, there's no judging and no "Sigh" on my side. It just is.
I was a fan of Myst as a kid and recently bought it on Nvidia shield tv. It is absolutely stunning with surreal graphics. A VR version would really be interesting
It would be awesome if blockchain could solve the issue of rights management at the scale of media content. Tracking ownership of the individual parts (script, logos, video, etc) as well as the transfer of ownership of those parts.
Altering a single shot gun to use any form of Magazine or Clip is vastly more challenging than manufacturing a Magazine or Clip.

As to 3 shots, a revolver that can't be rapidly reloaded is the kind of compromise that's worth talking about. Cutting the number of bullets you can fire in 10 seconds by say 1/3 is in and of it's self a useful compromise.

PS: Personally I don't think the full vs semi auto is generally a useful distinction because you quickly run out of ammunition in either case. However, limiting someone to say 6 shots per 30 seconds really world be a significant change.
Lack of human capital mobility distorts technological innovation (2016)
I take road trips alone occasionally to have very long, uninterrupted periods to allow my mind to wander. I've always felt that it was very valuable, whether
I was dwelling on an exciting new idea, something deeply upsetting, or something completely nonsensical.

I don't think of the associated depression, loneliness and boredom as being good or bad, they are simply part of a rich mental life.

I am often frustrated by difficulty concentrating, though, and frequently have invasive thoughts as you describe. The things that have helped me most with those are eliminating caffeine, meditating regularly (particularly compassion meditation, peculiarly), and exercise.

But yes, I can relate! I'm very grateful for having a mind that wanders, despite the irritation (it's not unlike caring for a small child I think)

I might be wrong. But I think the reason they created Atlas was to give Stripe access to non supported countries. They will do all the work with incorporation, opening bank account, etc. And you will operate your business from the US bank account. After your business has a credit history you can even have credit cards.

You will probably need an accountant in Brazil to see how you declare your business entity in the US and also an accountant in the US to declare you US taxes.
Another book to check out is Vernor Vinge's "A Deepness on the Sky," which depicts our smart dust future in a way I still think about all the time, decades after reading the book. His "Qeng Ho Localizers"

- are invisibly small (1mm square and thin)

- can be released like a gas into the atmosphere

- are powered by low-power, low range microwave bursts

- mesh network with each other

- have omnidirectional video, other sensors

In the book, historians survey the wrecks of myriad advanced societies in our local galaxy area. The find that smart dust, as final-form state surveillance, is a kind of an end game of technological development. That is, it inevitably emerges, and inevitably destroys society.

On the brighter side, if you can power/harness the localizers around you, you can expand your sensorium to sense everything they do, which sounds cool.
It's pretty unfair, in my opinion, to gate your acceptance of 2048's theft on which game you like more.

Because if you're a landlord with significant property holdings, what would you do? You'd lobby the government not to increase supply, of course.
I'm very skeptical about arguments that it's about convenience and not price. Yes, especially outside the US, there is some content that is difficult to get legally for any amount of money. But there's also some upper limit to what I'm willing to pay for physical media that I'll watch once (even if I can acquire it with one click on Amazon) or what I'm going to pay for a monthly subscription even if it were a hypothetical all digitized content ever made for one monthly fee.
There's plenty of land in this country. I see no compelling reason why Google can't open up more offices in the fly over states.

I'm guessing, if offered the same salaries, Google could find plenty of willing takers to move.

Ask HN: Any places for early products, alpha stage, to get users and feedback?
I have at least two side projects and would love to get feedback from fellow UX/Product/Engineering people.

This is super early stage stuff, I wouldn't even call it beta. I am not comfortable having non-professionals look at this :)

Even someone to just try the app or look at my flows would be good at this stage. Does anyone know any good places for something like this?
This! HN is full of people like us, however we're mostly silent. Adaptability as a core skill is an excellent asset to have.

So now it's "redistribution" to have people pay the same tax rates on their property? Oyy...

I was born here too but your arguments sound a lot like special pleading.

Do you really think that a tax loophole is "earned"?

It doesn't support property ownership anymore because it incentivizes people to hang onto and rent out properties that haven't been reassessed.

This is entirely the reason why I'm a PC gamer.

Steam games are cheap, old games are cheap, lots to choose from.

Nintendo(or other consoles), full price 60$ games, 40$ on sale. First party games are the primary buy, and those are few and far between.

The last Nintendo console I owned was the GC, I havent looked back. There are enough cheap games for the PC that I dont miss out on the last 2 zelda games.
The excuse for these kind of ads is that it's just machines making correlations, but I've always thought it's mostly easy to solve: they should only show you ads for things you bought when it's the kind of product that other people have bought more than one of. So, that would check out for things like consumables, but not for big appliances, for instance.

No need for manual checking of which products pass the test, it would still be automated.
I'm just the messenger. Apparently there is some sort of criteria for what a "dense integrated circuit" is for the chart previously pasted, and apparently all of the listed processors passed the required criteria for charting the law through time. What that criteria is, I couldn't tell you. Couldn't find it on the Wikipedia page. "Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years." (Wikipedia)

I've been dreaming of a viable scramjet since the X-30.
Maybe inspired or stole the core concept, but 2048 is, to me, much more fun than Threes (I've logged a couple hours on Threes and many dozens of hours on 2048; I paid for Threes and kinda hate the 2048 app I use but it works - it's not the "free" quality of 2048 that keeps me playing it).

It's fair to say 2048 is a shameless rip-off, but that doesn't mean it's not better in ways that matter.

>The real q is, why does government even subsidizing home ownership in the first place?

Firstly, older people own homes and they vote. Secondly, homes are a significant part of people's retirement assets. As companies do away with pensions and as the Social Security age gets increased, home values gain in importance. So the government has an incentive to keep home prices high.

This hurts the younger generation looking to buy homes and raise a family. But the older generation votes in greater numbers than the younger people.

If you are politician running for office, you aren't going to say "lets raise property taxes" or "lets get housing prices down so that young people can afford it".
So you have a CD drive?

I gave up on CDs when I was dealing with a corrupt CD drive or SATA cable.

It was weird, but after I disconnected it, it took me years to use it, and that was for Ubuntu install.
Yes, I can see why orthogonal was a bad choice of words here.

Here's my point: those things mentioned were improvements on things that didn't work very well even for trusted applications that did nothing unreasonable.

When your development environment or even regular desktop software spreads itself all over the filehierarchy as a matter of practice, conflicting and interfering with every other application because it does the same thing, that's taking something that used to work just fine and breaking it. Then you add a layer of abstraction like containers to solve the mess you created.

Containers are a good idea for a lot of things, I just don't think I should need them to run normal everyday software.

One of the things that has repeatedly pushed me off WhatsApp has been their very aggressive stance on this: I've several times stopped using it because "you need to update your app or this will all stop working in 7 days" and I've not been in the mood for jiggling the apps round on my tiny phone to be able to perform that update: the 7 days has passed, and I'm off WhatsApp again until such time as I "need" it.

Mainly just right+ extremists. No need to beat around the bush.
Meditate, exercise, travel to remote exotic places for as long as you can (this can be done actually pretty cheaply if you are a bit smart about it). Try changing your food (no sugary or simple carbs is a good start, plenty of fiber). Good 8 hours of sleep, enjoy a bit of sun every day. No drugs, legal or illegal (maybe a bit of pot if it makes you relax, but from your description it probably won't).

If everybody would do most of this, we would live in paradise.

“Erotic Review” blocks US Internet users to prepare for government crackdown
I used to live in South Florida (Ft Lauderdale area) and it has so many advantages: warm-to-hot weather year round, plenty of water based recreation, zero income taxes, great dining and entertainment, growing but still reasonable housing prices...

Yet I still moved to the crowded and insane Bay Area because jobs. In FL I was always running that risk that if my current job didn’t work out I’d have few remaining options. And in today’s tough hiring market, where you have to apply to 100 jobs to get 10 interviews to get 1 offer, having few employers around is a massive risk. It’s why I’m forced to stay out in the SF area.
Awesome Dev Fun
I agree with that.

A compiler takes code to transform it into another medium: binary executable, code (transpiler), ...

A interpreter takes code to evaluate it.

All the self proclaimed meta circular or "self-hosted" implementations of java that i have seen actually require an external compiler (eg: javac from the JDK). They are in reality implementations of the java virtual machine, not the language; You can't feed java code to them to execute. they are not even self-hosted.

Or go see a 3D movie and take the glasses home with you. The lenses are polarized 90 degrees in relation to each other. Pop the plastic lenses out and experiment by overlaying the two pieces then rotating one while keeping the other still.
To fully answer your last point. Sorry- this has grown extremelly long. I'm
actually doing work right now, waiting for a long experiment to run so I got
some time to burn :)

So, my pet formula for deciding whether taking a risk is worth it is to
multiply the probability of some adverse event occurring, let's call this
event X, by the cost associated with that event, let's call it Y; so R = p(X)
* Y, where R the risk and you can then decide on some risk threshold, T, where
if R < T you can justify taking the actions that you believe might lead to event X.

Now, when it comes to the Singularity (or, indeed, an Alien Invasion) we can
accept the cost of the event to be infinite, Y = ∞, under the assumption that
Superintelligence means game over for the species. But our knowledge of the
event is nonexistent so the probability of the event, X = Singularity is...
undefined. You can't plug that in my formula. You can't guess at the probability
of X because nothing like X has ever happened before. You can
try to extrapolate it from the development of human intelligence, but that
took billions of years to evolve in a manner completely different than what we
can reasonably expect for artificial intelligence (i.e. involving computers).

Basically, there's no way to calculate the risk from Superintelligence as long
as we know nothing about it- 0 information means undefined risk. And
therefore, no amount of resources can be justified to be spent to mitigate
this risk.

In other words, I really couldn't answer your question- 0 resources, an
infinite amount of resources, they're essentially the same.

Bottom line: to make decisions you need information even more than you need
the resources to implement them.

Or in other words: you can't prepare for the unknown.

34-pin GPIO

…and it costs $29 (board only). It's not supposed to be "better" than Omnia, but more modular, and generally cheaper (depends on what modules and options you choose of course).

How to Be Good: The Possibility of Moral Enhancement
Tha's good, but an extension is just not the same... it hides the feature from most people.
For a decade or more I always ran all my traffic through a VPN, and ran into problems with captive portals. The way I solved it was that I would let DHCP update my resolv.conf file, and then my VPN "up" script would overwrite resolv.conf to use localhost as the name server. Sometimes I would have to open a browser and go to an IP address in the URL bar to get the redirect. This all worked out pretty well, only maybe once a quarter did I have to go in and manually resolve some captive portal issues.
