Disappointing. This was a way to save hours and years in aggregate for people around the state.

The goal is simple. To live closer to the areas you depend on and not have to lose everything doing so. A disappointment that it was not fully understood. So many hours commuting and pollution moving from A to B when we can use transit and live near it effectively if we can simply build.
These boards should all take a field trip to places like NYC and Tokyo where the buildings are tall and the density is high. I have no sympathy for these self inflicted wounds.
Interesting, although on the business side, what happened to the spider silk? Bolt closed a $125m round in November 2017. You only get that kind of money if you are a messianic founder or have lots of progress.... This feels like this is some kind of auxiliary parachute. I wonder if the investors knew. Ironic that Peter Theil’s Founders Fund was one of the investors.... “We wanted spider silk and instead we got mushroom leather.”

We're building a MacOS app that helps you stay focused and beat procrastination.

The app holds your to-do list and automatically adds a timer function. The timer is activated when your to-do item has a number at the end. As in: "Get to zero inbox 30" That means the task is "Get to zero inbox" and the allotted time is 30 minutes.
If that's the top item on the list, the timer starts instantly and automatically, with the full task appearing on your menu bar (This description comes from Mike Elgan 1)

You can check us out at http://www.tryeffortless.com.

Wishing you all good luck!

Gitlab Dev Survey 2018: Remote work creates a stronger DevOps culture
A part omitted from the article is that de Gray is a genius. That partly explains his other achievements in other fields.
I'm only suggesting that mirrors work both ways.

If you stand 1m away from a mirror, you will see "yourself" 2m away as a reflection. (1m you:mirror + 1m mirror:reflection) If you move 1m backward, you will see the reflection now 4m away (2m you:mirror + 2m mirror:reflection). Speed works the same way, if you step toward the mirror at 1m/s your reflection will approach you at 2m/s.

The same thing applies to LiDAR, either it sees the mirror and calculates the proper distance, or it sees the things reflected in the mirror at 2x actual distance and/or 2x relative speed.
For Clojure, I think it means native compilation, with fast startup times, and the ability to interop with Python, Ruby, or any of the other Graal languages. Not sure there would be an advantage to re-implementing a Clojure on Graal. Clojure is not an interpreted language like Ruby, JavaScript and Python is, so I don't think Graal adds as much benefit here.

For ClojureScript, it would mean full circle. You could run your ClojureScript back on the JVM, and have Java interop from it.
Entirely automated - if it's glass, big, flat, and smooth, it was almost certainly made via the float glass process, or an equivalently automated continuous-flow system.
Sadly you are 100% wrong on this one. The founder of Telegram is vehemently anti-russia (government), although him and his brother are Russian.
Blocking your canvas to avoid being fingerprinted/tracked is like walking under the CCTV with a hoodie and cap on. Unless everyone under the CCTV does the same you will not be detected but will be tracked. It might be hard to identify you but you will standout.

So instead of standing out of the crowd why not disguise so well that the tracker doesn't know the real you.

The idea is to use something that gives a fake readout of your fingerprint thus making you look normal but keep changing it occasionally so it leads no where for long time. Try Canvas blocker[1] and/or Canvas Defender for fake readout.

If the state of California in incapable of imposing adult supervision on bay area towns and their NIMBYs, maybe it's time for the federal government to give it a shot. I'm sure the commerce clause can be construed to authorize a federal intervention.

You're horribly mistaken, but rather than just say that you're an idiot because there's a proof that every planar graph is 4-colorable, let me explain your confusion.

You are trying to construct a complete graph on N vertices in the plane, giving an example for N=5. This cannot be done. Indeed, every graph is either planar xor contains either the complete graph on 5 vertices or the bipartite graph of 3 vertices in each group as an implied subgraph.

You can embed a complete graph on N vertices in 3 dimensions easily, with thin rods. But this doesn't work for 2 dimensions because that connecting line divides 2-d space, so you can't cross it with another line. This property imposes some sharp constraints on what planar graphs have to look like, with implications for its colorability. The Four-Color theorem amounts to an exhaustive enumeration of the possible situations arising from these constraints and then showing that all of them can be colored with only 4 colors.

The only other science that's cheaper is math. Now I know plenty of human endeavours that bring absolutely nothing of value, and only serve to concentrate wealth, and cost everyone worldwide billions of dollars.

Good read. Good Font too. Fast website.
Also referred to as CCL. It's a good implementation. The compiler doesn't generate as efficient code as SBCL does, and AFAIK doesn't do as much type inference as SBCL, but you get much faster compilation, and the generated code is still quite performant - I used CCL for hobby-level gamedev ~6 years ago, back when CCL was the only implementation that would run on Windows reliably and fast enough for games. These days, SBCL works on Windows too, so that's what I use most of the time - but then, CCL becomes helpful on Raspberry Pi to use all CPU cores, as SBCL (AFAIK, as of 1-2 years ago) still doesn't do proper threading on ARM.

This argument would hold water if China's Internet policies were unique to telecom. They're not. The same instruments which protected Baidu and Tencent promote local steelmakers, phone makers, car manufacturers, battery and solar panel manufacturers and every other industry with a Princeling [1] attached.

> As much as its fashionable to hate on China and its government

Putting this at the end because it's a semantic comment. This is a silly way to attempt to dismiss a valid argument.

I'm a YIMBY. I'm happy for people to move here if they like it. What dismays me is that it's purely a financial decision because of California's fucked up housing policies.

"These boards should all take a field trip to places like NYC and Tokyo where the buildings are tall and the density is high."

I lived in Japan, and I live in New York. Tokyo is mostly low-rise buildings. Outside of a few areas in the center of Tokyo, the city is a sprawling mass of 1-5 story buildings. The vast majority of New York (outside of Manhattan) is the same. Even in Manhattan, most of the residential neighborhoods are under ten stories.

Silicon valley can clearly stand to increase density, but it doesn't help to misrepresent what density looks like.
I'm a home owner and YIMBY here who shows up at city council meetings in support of more housing. You would be shocked just how horribly selfish existing home owners are. Very common statements are that "I bought here because I liked the town and I don't want it to change", or "I have my house already, I don't want more people here", etc. It's awful.

We're slowly losing everyone in Mountain View except dual tech income people who won the stock option lottery, houses are out of reach for most everyone. What does get built via ABAG (Association of Bay Area Governments) mandates is generally rental housing, and rents are astronomical.

This kind of short sightedness is disgusting, and people don't seem to realize that nice, high density areas didn't just spring up in their dense form, they were allowed to evolve over time.

CA also has a lot of red tape anyone can invoke on any construction project to drown it in bureaucracy for years. The only people willing to fight against the bureaucracy are giant developers who develop large lots into cookie cutter developments. It's a giant mess driven by greed and stupidity.

Individual property ownership should be outlawed. The perverse incentives outweigh the benefits. Private real estate is an exclusive monopoly protected by the government.

Housing appreciation is particularly appalling. Rarely is it due to any particular improvements an owner makes, rather its due to city or local changes which reward homeowners for no action of their own. Your schools received higher test scores, collect 35k, and pass Go. A factory ignored EPA regulations, lose 15k. There is no sense or reward for good decisions - just the whims of fate. In fast growing cities like SF, it's worse, home value grows off speculative home value, which grows off even more speculative home values. The monopoly self-reinforces.

There is no reason for such an artificial monopoly to exist. The native Americans got this right. Communists got this right. The Chinese 90-year lease model looks much better.
This is thinking out of the box. For me it opened new perspectives. Good job!
sadly Telegram seems down right now
I've experienced this before. It's really frustrating. You could kind of tell when it was happening because the timing of the ring was not quite right, and there would be this audible switch when the phone really started ringing. For some reason, it mostly seemed to happen when calling my brother.

I hope this fine means the end of this crappy behavior. I generally like T-Mobile.
Complete BS. Here, I conveyed a thought to you over a really long distance through the ocean, that is called the Internet.
So on one hand you have people happy with the neighborhood they live in and not wanting change; on the other hand you have people not happy and wanting change.

Why is one group more "horribly selfish" than the other? Especially if you think there's a bubble, you don't want to change the character of the place for a short-term problem.

Why is "build more in one place" a more natural answer than "let tech companies geographically diversify themselves in response to pricing pressure"? Especially given an area that's kind of a natural disaster SPOF.

> They have a standing military to enforce (lawyers in the countries of presence).

In other words, they have to use the legal authority of the actual government to enforce anything because they have none of their own. This seems to me to illustrate exactly why they are not a government. Governments have their own authority to enforce rules and their own means of doing it.
Wouldn't you rather just set some base standards for construction and let people choose where to live? Greenspace rules, parking spot regulations all seem to stifle growth.

I would gladly pay for an extra spot, and I'm sure developers would build more monthly garages a la NYC.
A lot of the new housing I've seen in SV has been 3 story condos, townhouses and apartments. Is what is being proposed higher density than this or just more of it?
I really wouldn't expect a voter proposition to do all that much better. There are a lot -- probably a majority -- of CA residents that benefit from the current policies and don't want change.
10000mah and an ARM A53 mean it should last 10 hours or more with moderate brightness settings. It's hard to beat this for a light cheap terminal/browser with plenty of battery if that is something you need.
Refurbished by a reputable re-seller always seems to work well for me, altho it adds a bit to the cost.

I've picked up i5(2600)/8g/500G laptops for 150 like this on several occasions.

Sorry, you're not seriously entertaining the idea that browsers should just turn off facebook for everyone, are you? There are plenty of parts on this planet where facebook is the main page in people's lives, like it or not, and the problem to solve is one of people's attitude towards that being okay. Not the availability of facebook. You don't change people's minds from "this is useful to me on an hourly basis" to "I won't use this" without going through (many) intermediate step(s), and this is a GREAT intermediate step for those people who can't (for whatever reason) give up facebook, but do understand that maybe it's time to restrict what facebook sees a little. And then we keep the pressure on, as society. This is a long battle, we're nowhere near done.
This product is too obvious and to doable for it to that far off, so hopefully a bit more patience is all we need.
Last Summer, I was on a Boy Scout trip and opened Facebook Messenger and it had PRE-FILLED the text of a message with "At terminal w/ Bobby waiting to board." The spooky thing is that it somehow knew:

1) I was at the airport (OK, not so hard, maybe using WiFi or GPS).
2) So was my friend's son, Bobby (who I wasn't directly FB friends with).
3) We were at a gate waiting for our plane..

Here's the thing: I hadn't posted any kind of itinerary or booked the flights myself. So, if FB was just "guessing" and did this every time a friend-of-a-friend was at the same place, you'd constantly be paired up with relative strangers crossing paths nearby.
Because the same people that complain about new people were once new people. Also, they do not get the right to decide where people live. That's fundamentally entitled, selfish, and greedy attitude.

And since they don't get to control where people move in the United States, they don't actually get to stop change. Change still happens whether they want it or not.

Nobody has the right to stop others from interacting, or renting, or anything like that.
The sole purpose of those boards existing is to inflict those very wounds, which are not "self-inflicted" because the people who compose those boards are homeowners and the people hurt by the wounds tend not to be.

Homeowners benefit from the ability to obstruct/delay/deny others from building more housing, because it makes them a frighteningly huge amount of money by making their property worth more.

Morally yes, these people ought to be told to go pound sand; the very fact that there's legal authority to prevent dense/tall housing from being built is abhorrent, but it's the function of those boards (and everything else is secondary) -- to "increase property value" by artificially restricting what other people can do with their own property.
The advantage of a T- or X- series is that they are common fleet models so you can buy from a bulk reseller that is less likely to be passing off a single dud.

I disagree with you, but I'm upvoting because (a) you politely expressed a reasonable thought and (b) I can't think of a succinct counter to your argument, and hope by elevating it someone else will. (If not, I have something deeper to think about.)
And, by the same token, there are surely well-educated people who use the internet (intelligently) and currently farm for sustinence.
I'm surprised that this is characterized only as a supply problem instead of a demand problem.
I like both old laptops and new chromebooks, but I prefer my Chromebook for university, since it is very light (I walk ~45 minutes per day).

I think that this Pinebook thing would be a perfect replacement for my Chromebook once I drop coffee on it by mistake. However, it would be even better with a x86 like my current Chromebook. It is not that much of a problem, since I remember living happily with my old ARM Chromebook with crouton (before the screen died).

Exactly, these overly restrictive codes and zoning are just a few people inflicting their exact life style on others.

It's super hard to convince all those single family home owners at meeting that I actually like density, and choose to live in the densest part of my city because I like it. I'm not alone, there are a lot of us! But others prevent us from living in our preferred way for no good reason.
Cheap for good reason; an A53 quad core is Raspberry Pi 3 class. Hope every package you're gonna need is precompiled for arm64 because building anything nontrivial is not going to be fun.
Pedant that I am, I would like to point out that 120 is not a "normal" IQ. The test is scored such that 100 represents the median IQ, with 85-115 being within one standard deviation of that median. This means that less than about 1/3 of people will have a score outside of that range.

That having been said, I apologize for not being able to answer your actual question since I don't know the IQs of the folks I maintain friendships with. Most of them seem like they probably are higher than that range, but that might just be confirmation bias.

You have to react to the state of the world today, not some unknown future state. The Bay Area is very successful financially with tech, biotech, and finance jobs. People from all over the country and world are coming here. We need housing for them.

Basically, we can choose between two sets of problems, the problems of increased density, or the problems of gentrification. Yes, there is some amount of subjectivity here, and I clearly prefer the problems of higher density, but living here, I see a lot of very bad effects of gentrification. Service industry people have massive commutes from far away, yet we're dependent on their services, but we don't want to make housing affordable to make their lives better because we don't want change. We prioritize saving three big trees [1] over development, for example.

What is really disheartening is people saying, as you do, that we should drive tech away in some capacity. I've lived in the rust belt, in areas of low housing cost due to industrial decline, I really would hate to see that here, it's horrible.

Philosophy is a word used to describe things. The word has meaning in and of itself. It is not a proper noun. You are attempting to make a word that means something already, mean something specific, and it's not working.

Would you not classify al-jabr as mathematics simply because 'mathematics' describes western manipulations and not Arabic ones? Of course not. Mathematics means a certain thing in the English language, and al-jabr (which we call algebra) falls under that category.

I'm sure other cultures have a word that denotes things like Western philosophy, and they apply that word to people like Aristotle.

However, HN is a mainly english website, and so philosophy refers to any field that concerns itself with knowledge.
As much good stuff as the bill had in it, I think I'm glad it failed. The idea of upzoning near transit is a good one, but tying it directly to transit growth is counterproductive. There was already talk of neighborhoods in LA lobbying to reduce bus service on their streets so they wouldn't qualify as a "high quality" bus line and be subject to the new zoning.

There needs to be a way to build transit-friendly neighborhoods without turning people against transit.
