Sure, when the global property bubble pops. Until that time, I kind of hope it gets worse. Everyone needs to suffer together and the ills borne by the homeless and lower classes need to be experienced by all.

Housing is a good investment for a limited number of players. When EVERYONE wants to invest in housing / real estate / whatever, it quickly becomes a long-term very bad investment, sustained through momentum, the fact that moving away usually happens across generations, and that the law changes slowly.

Case in point, if you look over the last 40 years, housing is a great investment. If you also look from 1870 to 1914, 44 years, Europe looks like an extremely peaceful place. But that will change very quickly and violently soon enough, to the point that only a federal, workforce based intervention like the New Deal can help (not the “Fiscal New Deal” we had under Obama). When that happens, housing will be super cheap and jobs you just have to show up to to get hired, and the crisis will abate.

Google workloads for consumer devices: mitigating data movement bottlenecks
I think those who run starbucks...are very astute to their 'crowd' ... and I think a lot of liberals/progressives go to starbucks. (I'm a progressive / Voted for Bernie). I think this is in part to save face and help with PR, but I think there really might be some people high up in Starbucks who truly do care.. either way though they do seem to run things more ethically than a lot of companies regardless of the motive. In the end does it really matter why someone does something or just that they do it?
The Romans probably thought they would be the last civilisation too.
Local governments have proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are incapable of addressing this problem. State intervention is the only way.
Are you still programming everything in ones and zeros in a tape to be run by a Turing machine? If not, you're using tools to get your job done. It turns out that most tools allow you to get your job done quicker so you have more time to focus on other things.

I fully agree with you that there is a lot of wheel reinvention in JS, but given that you can use React to build native/mobile/web apps it means that people are empowered to build tools higher up the abstraction layers (see SICP) without needing to peek down below (until the abstraction leaks, and they always do).

That said, most software projects I've seen have been held back by human issues, poor communication of business needs or API design. Automation won't fix that so most your production line developers will still have a gig while human-written software is around.

Thankfully, they're also well positioned to transition into fixing the automators which will have bugs. :)
Yes. I too 100% thought it was a scam and called in multiple times from burner numbers, but I made 1.5k from a domain name I purchased years ago for a website I never started.
Yeah, typo...
Nope, this is agonizing.
I got a refurb Thinkpad and:

1. Battery puked out pretty quickly, so that's $100 (AUD) to fix on a $500 second hand laptop.

2. Some keys stopped working, could be bad luck as laptops have shite keyboards normally.

Both are not necessarily concealed issues BUT this is the kind of shit you are dealing with with second hand laptops and the savings don't seem to justify it, for me anyway. Plus less NSAWare.

The main benefit of buying second hand is the 'good for the environment' feeling it gave me.
What struck me is how everyone is clearly very senior (in age) looking, or at least how nobody looks young. Are there no apprentices/journeymen type of up&comers? I haven't had a chance to read the full in-depth article, so maybe that is mentioned, but this looks like one of those jobs that probably doesn't attract a lot of interest from the younger generation.

A lot of machine learning in particular is like that. The best practitioners have very strong intuitive understandings of the data and the modeling problem, which is what allows them to construct effective models (wrt capacity, training algorithm, topology, use of certain optional training procedure additions). I would liken their job to that of a doctor writing a prescription: it doesn't take much to write the prescription itself, but it takes mastery to be able to analyze the problem and write the best prescription

Ask HN: What are some tech companies that do not use an open floor plan?
It seems every tech company has fallen for the open floor plan. I'd love to find a company that respects the desk as a workspace that facilitates concentration and deep-thought. It seems the answer to this problem has become headphones.

To take a page from the anti-SB827 forces, why have one size fits all? Why should I pay 33% extra on my housing if I can get by without a car? For example, maybe I live and work in Santa Monica, and can bike, walk, and ride share?

Refusing to allow people to go carless has a predictable result, that is self enforcing. I would say that "denying reality" is when people refuse to allow others to be different from them.

I've got one - the trackpad is kinda ordinary but the keyboard is pretty good (as calibrated by someone who mostly uses a 2015 MacBook Air and a 2017 runout non-retina 12" MacBook Pro).

I'm not one to complain, but I would agree things have gotten pretty ridiculous in the last couple weeks. Someone in front of me tripped over one walking this evening, because the scooter was parked smack in the middle of the sidewalk (at night).

Thanks for explaining this, here in Romania is different probably because the new democratic system is young, some characteristics that I noticed are:

- big parties will split if there are 2 wings inside (it could be some inner fight for power too)

- 2 parties will also completely merge (not just for a coalition) and make a new party , this probably happens if the parties are small

- parties can win an election, perform bad afterwards, gets few votes, then disappears, splits, merge

- the leader of the party has a big importance, his charisma can help or be the doom of a party, sometimes you get a big egomaniac in charge of a party and the idot does a lot of damage to that party

Btw I am not saying a system is better then other, I hate the politics, you see them criticizing a good idea just because is from the other side when they would probably would have done the same, you see valid corruption accusation named as political attacks (we have a big corruption problem here, the justice is moving in the right direction but the politicians are struggling to fight it)
You'd be surprised - although it's a pain to get some software running on it - it runs all the SDR software I use pretty well (mostly rx only using RTL SDR sticks, but I've used it for tx with my HackRFOne as well).

Anything you can run on a Raspberry Pi you can get going on this - I largely use it as "a Raspberry Pi with a keyboard/screen/battery" - which it mostly does better than my PiTop (which has a vastly inferior screen and keyboard).

The keyboard at least might be a cheap fix. I got a new Thinkpad and the right-hand shift key was useless which is the one I use. I couldn't be bothered returning it and bought a keyboard off ebay. About 5 - 10 mins to install and its great now.
They had one on display (and to touch) at FOSDEM. Mechanics felt cheap, but what can you expect at the price point.

I asked about the Allwinner misery with Linux kernel support. They answered that is no longer an issue with the new 64 bit chips. I have not verified the statement.

I would try one if they had a reasonable distributor in the EU. Now it's gambling with customs. Might not come much cheaper than e.g. an HP with Intel Atom and 32 GB of eMMC. And those play in a whole different league in build quality. (I use them with Linux.)
Will do!

What would happen? The same thing that has happened everywhere else LVT has been tried: it quickly becomes watered down until the tax treatment of most property owners (especially homeowners) effectively returns to the status quo ante.

LVT isn't politically viable, particularly in contexts (such as the U.S.) where property taxes are principally used by state and especially local government for revenue.

Note that Prop 13 largely passed because 1) people were concerned about seniors being forced out of their homes and 2) the informal practice of property assessors undervaluing the homes of seniors resulted in a perception of unfair and capricious assessments. LVT is a radical move in the completely opposite direction.

The Obamacare debate has shown how irrationally attached people are to specific doctors, and how reactionary they get when you expose them to market forces in an attempt to improve overall welfare. But that's nothing compared to the reaction that happens when tax policy systematically and (more importantly) visibly forces people to move out of their homes. Even if LVT was in practice Pareto Optimal--all people forced to move were objectively better off (e.g. significantly richer)--people would never perceive it that way.

If something isn't politically viable, theoretical arguments are pointless. That we've discounted, forgotten, and even rejected that basic truism of governance--politics is the art of the possible, the attainable--explains much about today's divisive and ineffective politics.

A corollary is that you can't separate politics from economics. Political power is a form of currency--votes in a democracy being the most obvious medium--used for exchange just like money. It's just that what people are exchanging (favors, policies, dreams) is much less concrete than physical goods or interpersonal services.

More than most economic policies LVT utterly fails to account for this aspect of market behavior. LVT only efficiently internalizes costs and benefits if we ignore politics. But it should be obvious that the character of taxation and process of assessment would result in people very quickly diluting LVT. Taxation and property assessment are entirely government functions, LVT invites voters to effectively rent seek en masse, LVT provides no market mechanism whatsoever to compensate, so an LVT regime is unsustainable where you have a free political market.
Nearly One-Third of U.S. Lottery Winners Declare Bankruptcy
The problem with schools there is tying funding to a tiny geographic area, rather than over wider ones. That's the de facto state of the Bay Area where there are tons of tiny and disconnected municipalities.

Whether those municipalities raise money via sales tax (hugely regressive) or property tax (less regressive), that structural problem will remain for schools.
It wasn't. So they the competition quickly routed around them and made them irrelevant. Where's Microsoft "monopoly" today?

In a free market a monopolistic company is just an invitation for the competition to a rich easily accessible lunch. The (naturally occurring) monopoly is short-lived.

Unless there is regulation. Regulation raises the barrier of entry, discourages start-ups and thus protects the monopolistic company from the competition.

It's quite logical, really.
Universal Honey Pot
One important thing that was ignored in argument was you need to be nurtured in right environment to achieve mastery. Some people have that privilege (being born in right city, admission to a good school and landing a great first job).

Personally, doing stuff original author suggests like contributing to open source software and giving conference talks helped me to get noticed and picked into places that gave me the opportunity to grow.

What’s important is doing those steps strategically to reach your goals.
Yeah I went the same way as you got a t420 upgraded to ssd and threw Ubuntu studio in it and it smokes. I use it for everything from native Android development to music and video production and with lxde compared to windows 10 it's smoking fast even though it's not exactly lightweight. When you dj with a laptop the last thing you want is a flimsy device. Mixxx enables me to dj on the same device I use for software engineering.

> edit: someone else (not me) should name the principle that explains why so few people on HN have any sense of humor whatsoever.

I think lots of people have sense of humor, but it's accepted here in very limited amount (and preferably when it's clever humor). I'd attribute this to HN being one of the few remaining places on the Internet where you can discuss serious/interesting stuff without immediately drowning in effort-free jokes and memes - and people want to keep it that way. Hence, the word I'd be looking for might be "oversensitivity".
Rosa Parks, I would argue, was limited to a particular sphere of influence (civil rights), whereas the president's wife may have his ear directly, every day of his entire career, in every field, from diplomacy to economic development to national infrastructure to military strategy to civil rights, theoretically.

And then your son is also the president? Talk about power.

> keeping this content off HN, in a similar vein to the treatment of other political content on HN

"Political" content, to the degree that the word "political" is a meaningful disambiguator or characterization, is not kept off HN. Rather the guideline is:

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. [...] If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

This story seems to be square down the middle of this "off-topic" description.

I got my x220 for 150€ plus 70€ (3 years ago, still running smooth) for a new replacement battery, so it's not directly comparable. The x220 might be a bit heavier but it's not too bad and I got a x86 cpu (i5-2540M) with 8GB of memory compared to the arm64 with 2GB in the pinebook. Considering the memory usage of many contemporary desktop programs thats makes quite a difference too me
Which is why it should happen at the state level (as a land value tax), to decouple school quality from real estate value, one of the deeper reasons for inequality in the United States.

Meanwhile, sales taxes could be replaced or lightened by a tax on carbon.
You've lived in the rust belt and would hate to see it where you are now, but what of the people you left behind? They'd love some of those tech jobs. Driving tech toward the rust belt would solve some of both the California housing crisis and the rust belt unemployment.

In relation to this, fire alarms generally aren't as reliable indicators of fire as seeing the fire itself, or at least direct secondary effects such as thick smoke. Yet their function is crucial: they make it socially acceptable to head for the door in a situation where it may not otherwise have been, even with the sighting of actual smoke.

Not left on the sidewalk, the scooter should be left on the street - a dozen scooters in the space formerly occupied by one car. And they should absolutely pay to use that space!

The macos native app is nice, but I personally still have to use the universal (Electron-based, I guess) version, because I couldn't find a way to make the native app display unread count on the system tray icon. Is it just me or it really doesn't do that?
Yeah but you miss in the parallel session. Having several github and twitter accounts, it's very handy.

I never disconnect from anything, i just open a non container tab. I never connect to anything on my laptop, i open the site in the desired account container.

They're bootstrap themes - basically customisations to the colour, spacing, font, borders etc.

I dont use bootstrap themes like this myself directly but they can have a very useful purpose (which I intend to take advantage of)

Suppose you release an application, it doesn't matter if it's OSS, Commercial, or even hosted SaaS. It's a business web-app, so you use Bootstrap as your "UI Kit". Ok, Bootstrap has some basic default styles, and you maybe have a designer create a custom theme for your app.

But the user/customer wants to customise the appearance, perhaps it's exposed to their clients somehow, perhaps it's visible on a physical terminal in a shop.

Either way - this is where bootstrap themes (and I mean themes, like these - not so much those "Bootstrap Dashboard" which use a whole whack of extra JS libraries, markup and css) like the linked ones, or those found on https://bootswatch.com can be very effective.

If you build several applications, the effect is magnified, as the customer/user can now use multiple apps with the same custom theme, with almost no work at all from you.

It's more like going "breadth first, depth later" vs "depth first, breadth later". RH argues for the second.

I 100% with OP since if you start "breadth first" you can just exhaust yourself before you've made any significant progress on the depth dimension (because there's so much variety in technologies, a lifetime is not enough to learn them all, and one you try to "spread out" you never know when to stop"). Also, going "depth first", you get clear feedback about when you've went deep enough and need to branch out a bit: things just start feeling too hard!

Otherwise you can end up "repeating your first year for a decade" and end up with a much smaller total area.
