Getting rid of zoning doesn't mean getting rid of nuisance law. If someone builds a tannery upwind from your propeety, you can sue him formcausing a nuisance. And he can either pay you, stop, or buy you out depending on what is economically efficient.

The peoblem with zoning is that it allows you to stop lots of things that would not qualify as a nuisance. And it prevents lots of things that would be an economic win (buildimg a high rise in a previous low rise neighborhood if property owners were willing to sell out).
Asking them to apply an EU law globally is posturing as well. Both the question and answer are nonsensical.

Hi, Jagger

Founder of Vamrs, ROCK960 manufacturer here, iPad 3/4 display is eDP interface and you can drive with RK3399 directly, you don't need DP and controller board. ROCK960 doesn't export eDP due to the small size, ROCK960 EE version has eDP exported.
The problem isn't parking, the problem is that to work well they need dedicated lanes. I agree that this should happen but it's not as easy as taking a parking space per block - you'd have to eliminate half of all the parking or reduce the number of car lanes or something.
Probably used cars from New Zealand.

The reason they switched is that New Zealand dominates the south pacific as both the largest donor of aid and also the biggest trading partner to most of the pacific countries.
Not sure how helpful this is, but on the assumption that you're asking in good faith: the problem with your comment upthread is that it was unsubstantive.

Peace talks between the Koreas may not be the best story for HN, but to dismiss it shallowly with "It is pointless" and toss off one inflammatory detail in a hand-wavey way, is unsubstantive when addressing a new development in a major history. I'm not sure what's hard to see about that? it's a classic example actually. That is why we have that guideline among others.
Old Wikipedia pages are just dated and not useful as a starting point. Documentation for old versions of Postgres are the most up to date page for anybody using that version.

I am one of the people that gave you an upvote, but this is not a fair comparison at all.
Started down the path of using this when it was in beta, but had to abort when we saw there was no option to connect to it from Python App Engine Standard.

Now that it's GA...it looks like that hasn't changed. Is the classic, Python, App Engine standard becoming a second class citizen? Or was there some reason why this wasn't considered GA worthy for Postgres?

Trying to understand if going forward Google is trying to push everyone to the flexible environment or not - as I would have really expected connectivity between these two products.
Given that the parent said "facebook basically has just patented statistical classification if its output are socioeconomics?", I think the commenter's point is that the breadth does include things that have massive amounts of prior art and are thus obvious.

The problem isn't parking, it's where are these things going to drive? Bikes work OK on the street but scooters really don't (even where there are protected lanes, they really need a smoother road surface) so they end up riding on the sidewalk, hence the backlash from pedestrians.

The solution is obvious (make dedicated lanes, pave them like a sidewalk) but it would mean taking a lot of space away from cars, not as painless as 1 spot per block.
I'm pro scooters and dockerless bikes in general -- but I also don't really buy into the logic of this article.

In the key markets for these things - there is no presumption of parking. I imagine avoiding parking is the #1/#2 reason for most users would use this service (I'd include ride sharing here too). I specifically don't have a car in San Francisco because I have nowhere to park it.

When dockerless bikes were launched in other markets (e.g. Sydney, Melbourne) it really was a mess. Bikes thrown in rivers. Stacked up as hazards. In trees. On the top of stuff in general. And Melbourne is a much more bike-friendly city than many North American ones. But it was still a huge bomb. It's probably sensible for the SFMTA to at least consider the consequences and stage a rollout.

The SFMTA was actually being pretty co-operative. And for a government agency, they were moving pretty fast - i.e. getting stuff going in weeks/months. Instead, one of the companies launched early on St Patrick's Day. When the others felt they were losing first mover advantage, they did too.

That's a silly example. If you're making billions of integers, use NumPy. If it's just one pass, use a generator. If you're making lots of objects with more interesting attributes, the attribute storage will overwhelm the difference the instance dicts make.

My point was not that __slots__ does nothing, but that there are more important things to worry about.
Our IoT service uses the RPi2. We will move to the RPi3 when our stock runs out.

In our B2B application, the Pi's are just headless data collectors and all C code and data normally runs in RAM with the SSD card only written to as a backup if the device loses Internet connectivity (rare). The SSD card's system partition is configured as read only and we have had no problems with data corruption.

I think many people are trying to use these small computers for things that were not intended. The RPi's are cheap, well supported, and more than powerful enough for the price. If you need more power, spend more on some of the other options or step up to a full computer.
You can card count on apps already. The repeated linear operator + nonlinearity of the ESN (the reservoir) could implement a card-counting memory but, you know, so could a card counting memory in a normal program.
That doesn't seem right to me? Status symbols exist to show off that you have status. If someone shows off status symbols they apparently couldn't afford, the key effect is dilution of the symbol's utility for signalling wealth.

(Hundreds of years ago, important signals would be clean skin, clothes and hair. Not to mention your accent, language proficiency and general knowledge. Today these are mostly affordable commodities.)
My browser seems to scroll just fine. I don't know if it is done on Javascript or if Firefox finally decided to handle pages with fixed elements.
Excuse me? The law is very clear that public businesses are not allowed to discriminate based on skin color. There were white women who didn't purchase anything in that location at that same time who weren't asked to leave. That's both illegal and a shitty thing to do.
There have been multiple and ongoing studies that show reading to your child helps develop multiple parts of the brain, including auditory processing capabilities that are essential to early reading development. The diversity of words matter, even the positive nature as opposed to negative tone of words matters.

https://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/word-gap-speak-more... is one article that discusses some options but the original study can be found here:

http://www.aft.org//sites/default/files/periodicals/TheEarly...

There have been follow on studies discussed here

https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2015/04/22/key-to-vocabul...

That show it also has to do with the diversity of words, and even their tone (the positive vs negative) that is a key driver towards how well they engage and grow.
I love the way they frame "binding arbitration and waiver of legal rights" in their friendly update mail:

"We’ve added a mutual arbitration clause. Hopefully, disputes will never be an issue, but in the case of one, this allows a third-party arbitrator to help us resolve them. We’ve also added a class action waiver."
This has been posted here before but it seems relevant (about explaining the lower Japanese salaries vs US, https://www.kalzumeus.com/2014/11/07/doing-business-in-japan...):
“Most people want to become wealthy so they can consume social status. Japanese employers believe this is inefficient, and simply award social status directly.” The best employees aren’t compensated with large option grants or eye popping bonuses — they’re simply anointed as “princes”, given their pick of projects to work on, receive plum assignments, and get their status acknowledged (in ways great and small) by the other employees.

Regarding the causality, I disagree with you andrewflnr. For instance, jewelry is older than money and there are even statuses in nonhuman circles.
I admit that it's debatable, but I think the value of money comes from the power it gives (you buy other people's time and stuff) but status can do the same and has a more permanent feel (it doesn't deplete linearly, unlike money spent). That's why in some communities, the local priest / doctor teacher is still considered more important than wealthier merchants / land owners. That's why Trump is more powerful than many wealthier billionaires.
Last I checked it wasn't possible to whitelist internal IPs (e.g. Kubernetes nodes or VM instances) to access Cloud SQL instances at all -- the options are either to use the non-standard cloud SQL proxy sidecar app, or allow connections from all endpoints (public or private).

This seems like a major omission, and AWS has had this for ages.

Yes, I know. This thread is about managed database services, specifically about Aiven vs cloud-direct. Aiven still runs VMs on AWS or GCP but offers nvme disks while neither RDS nor CloudSQL have that available.
>Apples to oranges. The existence of traditional banking systems does not negate the demand for alternative systems with properties that traditional banking is incapable of providing.

I never argued this, what I'm saying is that it's fallacious to suggest that incumbent systems are not comparable to bitcoin, they are, because they compete to replace those systems in their feature-sets and are marketed as such by the stewards of these blockchain projects. Your reasoning is akin to suggesting that a Tesla can't be compared to a Hummer because it does not support the capability running on liquid fuel which has desirable properties such as high energy density and rapid refueling when compared to lithium batteries. Obviously they are not the same thing, but fuel density can be likened to decentralization in that it doesn't make a difference to the vast majority of people one way or the other as long as they can reliably get form point A to point B... except one vehicle fills the air with poison as a necessary byproduct of operation and the other does not which is clearly preferable if you don't care about fuel density (decentralization).

> no matter how inefficient _you_ might think the system is

It has nothing to do with what I think, the inefficiency is an objective fact and clearly demonstrable when you look at the numbers, your only argument seems to be "yes, one is more efficient than the other, but don't think about that because decentralization outweighs everything else"

> it's obviously still generating enough value to sustain itself otherwise it would cease to exist.

That's a tautology, "it exists so the prerequisite conditions for it to exist are obviously fulfilled". Just simply existing isn't a counterargument to criticism of waste.
I am American and was in Denmark with an 18 month old toddler last year. We spent hours at many different Danish playgrounds.

There was one interesting design paradigm I noticed that I think is reflective of a difference in parenting cultures.

On the all the Danish play structures we played on, all of the elements where a kid could fall more than a few feet were in areas of the structure that required a sufficient level of coordination to reach, like climbing a ladder or using climbing holes in a wall. Less coordinated kids were stuck at the lower levels of the structure where there was fun stuff to do for younger kids.

This thoughtful design allowed us to sit far away from our kid while he played knowing that the structure was designed to scale the risk with his capability.

Here at home, my toddler could climb to the top of many climbing structures using regular steps, and fall six feet down to the ground through the open doorways where you might find a ladder to climb up or a pole to slide down. A six foot fall is too risky in my mind, even though I'm not much of a helicopter parent. In fact, 15% of construction fall fatalities are from six feet or less.

I think this kind of smart design can help give kids confidence to take risks when they are able and ready.
The ideology of many in marketing certainly tends away from regulation.
I think they're already losing their influence. As people mentioned already, many people have their accounts but simply don't use them anymore. I only use it for keeping in touch with some friends via Messenger these days, and where possible I try to just use WhatsApp/Telegram for that anyway. Some of the most active people I see on my news feed are actually my relatives in their 40s-50s+ or early teens. I guess these people are just discovering the world of social media, whereas the people that have grown up with Facebook don't see the use it in anymore.

Even outside of me and my friends, I mostly just hear of people using it to connect directly with people, like joining some Facebook groups for specific discussions.
Agreed. I was unaware many BASICs will do that.

And, yes that is a cool construct. Makes the most of the limited environment.
They concentrate on the elderly, because they are more likely to fall for scams.
And yet sometimes, having no status symbols shows you have more money and power than everyone in the room.

In Python, type annotations are (expressly) just a special type of comment that's been given a regularized format for the sake of both human and computer readability.

I don't know that it should scare you, but, like with many Python features, it's something that should be approached in a sensible manner. The Python philosophy is to leave you with the freedom to monkey around, and leave it to you to decide whether you want to abuse that ability.

(Look at me, all talking like someone who didn't spend 2 hours diagnosing a type error that a static language would have found and forced me to fix within half a second. :P )

How many pedestrians have been killed by a cyclist hitting them?

Finding fatality data is oddly difficult; DuckDuckGo finds lots of UK data and news items (e.g. [0]) but little USA data. There are many individual cases, including several well-known in the Bay Area. The official DOT reports count pedestrian and cyclist deaths in collisions with motor vehicles only.

"Overall, 7,904 pedestrians in New York State (including New York City) were treated in a hospital for injuries caused by a person on a bicycle between 2004 and 2011. In California, the number was 6,177 between 2005 and 2011."[1]

Listen, I get that there are non-decomposable solids like fatberg in the sewage system, but I figure, even in NYC, there'd have been a system in place to reduce that quantity to an amount more managable than a scale that requires freight train shipping to other states.

Human poop is by abitrary fractions, grease, plant fiber, bacterial biomass, ph imbalanced water and table scraps.

Processing plants deal with that, plus everything else people dump down the drain, or what fits without clogging during heavy rain.

The only reason the human excrement is not completely liquified is because digestive tracts are sensitive living membranes, and not chemical distillation vats.

Industrial processing is capable of leveling off the organic waste into salts with enough chemical action, and the grease can be processed through saponification. Our guts aren't capable of hydrolysis, over-boiling organic material until it's transformed and destroyed, or incinerating the waste in situ, but given that NYC has been dealing with the output of millions of toilets for over a hundred years, a brute force option like carting by train seems like a brainless, unsophisticated hack.

How does there come to be such an overflow that trains are the only option? It makes sense to me that porta-potties get handled in their own way, and if that's all this is, then I can see what happened. But if processing demands outstripped the capacity of on site management operations, I'd be interested to learn how that happened, and what leads to those conditions.

I'd figure big cities, like New York, all have had better infrastructure than this since at least the 1950's, when more options for advancing technologies appeared on the table.

Not aiming to be unfair to postgres - it's not an easy problem and the documentation is great, and it is different to Wikipedia where old content is generally objectively worse.

I guess for postgres 80% of people would be happy with always landing on the current version, and making an extra click or adding a version to their search if they really need documentation for older versions. Maybe adding a brief version history at the bottom of documentation pages would reduce the need for old versions even further.
It'd be easier to enforce the law if they'd use their own damn caller ID.

At 15 I sat with a book about QBASIC and got to a certain point, got stuck, and had nobody around me to ask for help and no idea what to do. I decided I wasn't smart enough for programming and stuck to basic html and CSS for years and years. I avoided CS in college. I turned out ok, but: I can code! I was wrong when I gave up, but I didn't know that because the resources weren't approachable enough for me. And maybe my determination and self-belief wasn't as strong back then. I wanted to be a game developer really badly growing up. And then I found a book that taught me I couldn't program.

I like the new stuff better!
At that price you should get an Odroid C2. A53 is a better core and C2 also offers 2GB of RAM and a rather large heat sink to avoid thermal throttling. It’s a no brainer IMO.

You're assuming they care. Google was aware of a startup called Inbox that did stuff with email, yet they went ahead with their own app called inbox, steamrolling the startup.

Agreed. If one thinks about it broadly (not just the clichéd look-I-made-it cars) and one might see it more often: having a considered socially desirable spouse/partner, going to certain places on vacation, signalling/posting on SNS. It's really broad, and there is a whole meta. Take a simple thing such as the tech hoodie or t-shirt for instance. Behind the I just like to wear comfortable garments, there is often an attempt to signal that I am making money thanks to my skills, not my look, my company is less boring than yours, etc. I am not saying that there are no true anti-social status people, just that they are likely contrarians and minorities (at least in circles that have escaped the survival mindset).
