With lab grown meat on the horizon as a main stream consumer product, it's only natural to wonder whether we could also grow lab grown skin to create synthetic leather.

Perhaps that defeats the purpose of mushroom based "leather" though? You might be able to grow the skin artificially, but it will still need to be tanned at an environmental cost.
Decentralized TimeStamp Server... This is clearly wrote in the bitcoin white paper. Why is this becoming a news?
There were some good ideas in this one, but the requirement to force high density housing near bus stops has some serious problems in small and medium sized towns.

For one, bus stops are generally already near existing development, so unless property values plummet, that land won’t be turned into condos.

The second problem is that bus stops can move. Yes - one of he big advantages of busses over rail is that the location of the stops is infinitely flexible. Forward thinking cities build bus pull-outs on major streets in new neighborhoods all the time, so they can be used in the future. Requiring a specific type of zoning at all of hear bus stops will effectively freeze this type of flexibility.

OTOH, building a new train station? Yeah - put up some condos!

Such behaviour does encourage frivolous spending of wealth however. Even 99-year lease models fall down in 21st century society given such projecting population growth in certain centres. This is likely to taper as the century progresses. It will likely be countered with expanding average life expectancy however — most pronounced and predominantly in already crowded urban conglomerates.
It would be some other perceived flaw. People always do this. For example, someone wants to make the environment better and starts working for it. Then he gets to hear 'he drives a car!'. Suddenly he is not credible anymore.

To me, this all or nothing attitude is what makes most humans quite dumb.
Facebook can use GeoIP on their servers to position you within a few miles. That's close enough for demographic profiling. And like others mentioned, if anyone uses the Facebook app on your home network, Facebook can link the devices precise position with your IP address.

If you mean the blue node that's connected to the yellow node beneath it, I think it's actually connected to the yellow node beneath that one (the one that is distance 1 from the blue node :) ), and the edge happens to travel very close to the closer yellow node so that it looks like it intersects it.

If those three nodes (blue, yellow, yellow) were in fact connected by short edges, then another problem would be that the two yellow nodes were connected, which they couldn't be by the constraints of the original problem.

The GPD Pocket fits this bill. It was available with Ubuntu pre-installed during it's crowd sourcing campaign. The support under Ubuntu is pretty good, including good support for the touch screen. 7" 1080p, atom CPU, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD. More expensive, but under $500.

It may help to provide a tiny teaser about why it's interesting and relevant if you'd like more people to read it, as the current introduction doesn't do it many favors.

Oh, and one more thing - I'm glad that SB 827 died, despite being pro-housing. This is fundamentally a local decisions, it's just that the locals are being unreasonable. Whenever the state imposes a one-size-fits-all policy, you end up with different problems.
San Jose, for example, is building housing like crazy, and tech companies are already building campuses near the new housing, as even Google employees can't afford to buy in Mountain View today. Basic 3 bed / 2 bath houses on < 6,000 ft lots go for over $2.5M in Mountain View. Owner condos are non-existent, rents are on par with Manhattan, but we don't have public transit to move people out into the boroughs. It's not a good situation. I'm lucky because I've been here since the 90's, but today, I'd be forced to leave the bay area given my income level.

> 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.

There're more options than rust belt or NYC. I've spent my life in places that are thriving but also more sprawling. I suspect the future looks more like Atlanta or Dallas or Houston, especially with autonomous and electric vehicles on the horizon. They have a huge advantage in that world, in having far more land to easily expand into. I'm sympathetic to those who like their current areas, as well as to those in economically depressed areas - some increased diversification would help both of those groups! And I'm skeptical of densification as an answer to all cost woes, since Manhattan is dense and still stupendously expensive. Similarly, LA is much denser than Dallas, and still much more expensive. Maybe we'd be better off if some of that wealth got spread around, instead of continuing to accommodate even more concentration in a few centers.

I have a goal of owning a single-family detached home, and here's the thing I see missing in these arguments: it's not because of property values. It's because it's a fundamentally different experience that is how I would prefer to live, and so I see why people would fight to preserve the ability to have that, instead of just bowing to the god of economic efficiency.

In many places you can satisfy both, but the geographic constraints of the Bay Area make that harder. So someone has to lose, but I don't see either side worse than the other.
I don't know it it helps but one of the reasons that the nra was against banning guns from people on the no fly list was that there was no legal process to get in or off the list. Am angry bureaucrat can put anyone (including senators) on the list for whatever reason.

So, based on that I guess that there is a non insignificant change that you will be put on the no fly list
Salary levels don't say anything about social mobility. Social mobility is about how easy it is to climb to highly paying jobs such as software engineering for people from underprivileged backgrounds.

There seems to be evidence that Americans overestimate social mobility in the US while Europeans underestimate social mobility in European countries. In practice, European countries also perform better in that regard. https://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2018/02/daily-...

I can't possibly generalize across all of the bay area, let alone the entire state of California. I can speak with confidence about SF: the eastern third of the city (the part everyone always wants to "build up") is already pretty dense, by any standard. Building skyscrapers is not making housing cheaper, just taller. Meanwhile, the western two-thirds (the parts nobody ever talks about) are like McMansion suburbia.

The general problem with this debate on HN is that everyone gets fixated on a select few areas where 20-something nerdbros want to live and go drinking (e.g. the Mission), and imagines turning it into some vision of Tokyo out of Blade Runner, when the real solution is that we should be building more 3 story condos in Sunnyvale. If you wanted to make the bay area resemble Tokyo as it actually exists, you'd cover every flat part of the bay in 1-5 story buildings, and connect it all by excellent transit. It has little to do with skyscrapers, as such.
How do you fix demand? Even with massive price increases, demand is still high. And that just hurts the poor.

The other side of the coin is that "fixing" people's desires on where they want to live sounds pretty creepy.
This is a question I have as well.

Does everyone deserve to live in a place like SF or mid-town Manhattan for cheap, by forcing infinite housing supply?

Or is it ok to price people out of areas, creating different classes of people & forcing certain classes of people to migrate to places like Ohio (or Mexico)?

Unfortunately, the people that are going to be ruined are the poor that currently live in the expensive places.

> Why is "build more in one place" a more natural answer than "let tech companies geographically diversify themselves in response to pricing pressure"?

Because USian land use laws / zoning laws (that enshrine single-family houses while prohibiting/obstructing the construction of most everything else) aren't good at all, and there's no good reason to preserve them as they are, nor any reason to think that they're optimal for anything; except for increasing the value of single-family homes by rigorously prohibiting the construction of alternatives.

Even "tradition" doesn't apply here, since the changes that prohibit high-rise/high-density/SROish housing are quite recent compared to the history of US cities.

It's really not about "tech companies", it's more about the fact that US jurisdictions have systematically eliminated and prohibited entire categories of housing.

> you don't want to change the character of the place for a short-term problem

I do want to change the character of the place, and I think that objections (aesthetic or otherwise) to any kind of new structurally-sound housing are bunk and should not be entertained or given any sort of authority.

Once you have people literally living and shitting in the street, I sorta feel that these NIMBYs should altogether lose the authority to obstruct/delay the construction of new housing.
Indeed it looks like there are more and more buildings, dare I say of course housing is a problem, but imho the infrastructure is more an issue, the roads are terrible, completely packed the local tramway is more than 45 years old and it shows, the question become more who want to invest with such poor infrastructures.
Footnote Dollars
Prop 13 limits increases in property taxes. It's removal would do little to ameliorate the housing shortage. Sure it might push some old people out of their homes and there by free up a few houses but it will increase the cost of ownership and therefore the cost of housing. This would benefit only very rich new comers. Why would we want that?

That's kinda the opposite. The brands somehow had your info (from accounts you may have created with them, for instance), which they explicitly imported into Facebook specifically to show ads to you etc.
ThinkPads never had the rootkits, it was the consumer Lenovo models that had them. Very different culture between those two groups.

The link in the article has a lot more info: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/04/t-mob...

The fastcodesign link doesn't really add anything except a story that's not quite accurate (saying it's the signal.. which is wrong).
It might not fix the shortage, but could be expected to increase mobility, such that people can move to a different part of the bay when they change jobs, or downsize or upsize when life changes. That's at least a step towards addressing a shortage.
Considering it's still tanned the same way, that process will probably preserve it and prevent mold growth, just as with leather.
I'm not sure where you're seeing that type of discussion on HN. But this bill was precisely the thing that would have opened up the Avenues in SF without touching the eastern side very much.

And totally agreed on 4/5 stories everywhere; those are what can be built with less expensive wood construction, and what really increase density. High rises and sky scrapers are usually brought up by the NIMBYs as a straw man to argue against.
This. It's overkill for most people, but I wanted it anyway. I've made plenty of financial mistakes over the years despite having finances tracked in systems like mint. And for better or worse I'm not much of a spreadsheet person and wanted a fast experience when chugging through manual changes/updates.

Ultimately, I'm looking forward to making some custom reports where I force myself to learn the math behind finances, and try to add some visualization ideas I haven't seen yet.

Also, the other thing about doing plaintext over a spreadsheet is that I feel like I can be more liberal about adding comments for certain transactions - if anything it makes things feel a bit more personal than trying to cram in comments within a spreadsheet or an off-the-shelf app.
I didn't downvote, but it does seem to violate this HN guideline:

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

Again I don't agree with that, just speculating at reasons why.

Still no emails ?

NSLs can only be used to get non-content data, like whom an email was sent from and to. China intercepts and filters the actual content of all communication. https://www.google.com/amp/s/qz.com/960948/what-happens-when...

> and has tried to force a US company (Apple) to create back doors to its encryption.

Apple had a "backdoor" to access data on its own phones via installing a build that disabled password attempt throttling. The FBI simply asked Apple to use its backdoor on the FBI's behalf, not to create a new backdoor that the FBI could use on its own. In China, Apple acceded to the government's demands to block any VPN service that prevents front door access by the government. https://www.google.com/amp/s/techcrunch.com/2017/07/30/apple...

Same here. We're a company with about 50 people and deal with a lot of operational chatter. The threading model of Zulip works really great for us.

Before Zulip we used XMPP for a long time, then Mattermost for a short time (the threading model in mattermost didnt work at all for us), then moved to Zulip and never looked back. I definitely recommend Zulip.

But the state of the world today in Silicon Valley is that there's not enough housing. Another possible reaction is to hire more telecommuters and expand offices outside of Silicon Valley.

"I'm not sure where you're seeing that type of discussion on HN."

Everywhere. The comment I originally replied to (upthread) has a delusional vision of New York and Tokyo, and "the problem" is (ostensibly) that the bay doesn't look like that. Any facts that are inconvenient to this narrative will be downvoted into invisibility.

"But this bill was precisely the thing that would have opened up the Avenues in SF without touching the eastern side very much."

While I sympathize with the stated goals, this bill was little more than grandstanding by Weiner. It never had a prayer of becoming law. You probably couldn't pass a rule like this in San Francisco itself, let alone the entire state.
Not quite sure, but I think this is the main paper in question:

i hate the fact that sometimes it says "continue to the mobile site" and sometimes it says "login to access the mobile site". I prefer to not be logged in. Sometimes when i visit reddit it refuses to let me use their site logged out. Its super inconsistent. When I can't use the site logged out i just give up.

Also sometimes now the location of the "n comments" button becomes a "share" button, with the comments moved over to the side. but again, only sometimes. I keep clicking share on accident, because it happens infrequently enough that I haven't learned to check.

I've started switching to using their .compact site, which has neither problem. Only a small "switch to the new mobile site" button at the top of the page. The thumbnails aren't as large but thats fine with me
libsigsegv[1] has a different manner of dealing with the problem you describe - another way to have your cake and eat it too, but I probably would have just moved everything into a separate process.

I don't view a process as a multi-tenancy: These tricks are for people who control main(). The fetish for threads and libraries gains little and costs much, so I have a real aversion to play.

Not at all. Imagine if "myemail" and "my.email" were different accounts: that would result in much more confusion and mis-addressed emails.

It's not as if simply making a typo and entering the wrong email address doesn't happen, either.

Also the relevant standards leave it up to the email host how to handle dots, so it's not even non-standard.
