PWM is done because it's cheap to implement given a fixed power rail and a digital control : need a single/couple of power switches that can even be integrated on die for low-ish power targets.
continuous things usually need some kind of discrete filters, that means more components etc

Lmfao, nothing cost about the same living in San Francisco.

Not to mention taxes are significantly higher as you earn more (progressive) and there are tons of things that nickel and dime you every day.

For example, a bottle of 200 ibuprofen in SF runs about $12-14. I buy it for $3-4. It was so surprising I started filling a bag full of non perishable items every time I'd visit family in the midwest. You add this across hundreds of things you use and it adds up quickly.

And that's nothing compared to the rent.

We (IDPs in general, I can't quite speak to FIDO work) still have other account recovery methods, like email (eg Facebook lets you do fast IDV for password reset if you have a Gmail account associated). Part of this is a turtle tower - there's always going to be some more definitive IDP that we ask you to associate and fall back to, and hopefully that IDP will do the same. Our work (MSFT Identity) on decentralized ID in particular needs to take this into account - who's the last turtle there?

s-expressions are better than binary for sure but also you end up having to maintain/write parsers for front-end/back-end and more. s-expressions influenced HTML/XML creation. Anything not JSON/XML you end up with formats that don't have massive support on the client and server side and take more work to serialize/deserialize to/from, same with YAML, other formats that have more typing and rules are not as simple and do add some complexity.

The big reason that JSON and even XML were so successful is that parsing from front-end to back-end and the direct use in javascript and APIs for instance is such a simple step, JSON being easier than XML but XML being easier than binary and other formats with more requirements/rules/complexity.

The basic types, ease of nesting, readability used in both JSON and even XML led to systems that serialize/deserialize to it also influenced the systems to be more simple.

CSV/XLS/binary/BER/DER/ASN.1 etc data exchanging all have more mines in the field than JSON and XML has more than JSON. JSON's killer feature is simplicity and forces you into more simple input/output.

Simplicity is always good when it comes to exchanging data.
The idea of taking psychedelics at 16 terrifies me. I believe pretty strongly that psychedelics are best once you've already tried pretty hard at the classical life script. Only then will you be able to see it's actual weaknesses and it's actual strengths.

The fundamental problem with American cities is that Americans failed to recognize them the core engine of growth and prosperity as they are. Instead cities are viewed through a political lens. This NYC's problems are to be solved by the city/county and San Francisco's are to be solved by their local city/county politicians. The Federal government, which takes in 30% of income, chips in a very limited manner. Investing in cities such as these are often viewed as "helping a blue city" and this Fed infrastructure money is spent on building Army bases in rural areas that doesn't provide any return for that investment. Similarly many city dwellers do not recognize the economic importance of the city they live in and the role of the cities in driving growth, reducing poverty etc. Thus they hang on to things like "neighborhood character" and height limits to reduce growth. This is very different in many other countries, and especially Asian countries. There Central governments realize the value cities bring to the national economy and thus investments are prioritized. Look at China and how much investment the Chinese government puts in their big cities. Same with Japan, Korea, Taiwan, UAE, India etc. Indian government prioritized building expressway link between it's megacities. They also funded the Delhi Metro project.

It's just that many of the stakeholders in these areas such as long-time property owners in the westside of San Francisco and residents with rent control fearing gentrification would not benefit directly from new development. Their incentives simply aren't aligned with younger generations who want to live and raise families in a city with reasonable housing costs. To break this quandary we simply to need intervention at the higher level. Congestion, long commutes and sprawl is hurting the U.S. (and Californian) economy so when change comes it will come at the higher level than the city.
Well, no, that’s not what I’m suggesting at all.

The top 10 cyclists in the 2005 Tour?[1]

Yes, of them Cadel Evans (8th, 11:55 behind) and Óscar Pereiro (10th, 16:04 behind) probably weren't doping. Christophe Moreau (11th, 16:04) has always claimed he'd stopped doping after leaving Festina in 2002 (and this results kind of back this up).

I'm not sure where you get the idea that "they all put in times that have never been matched".

It's true that Armstrong's average speed for that Tour was the highest ever. That's not very useful - the route changes every year so you can't really compare it.

It is more useful to look at times on long hill climbs to mountain top finishes. Unfortunately the best example in the 2005 Tour (the Courchevel stage) doesn't have widely documented times, so we can't compare.

Something like Alpe d’Huez is instructive. You'll note that around the 41 minute+ range you start seeing riders from the 1980s, who can't have been on EPO (since it wasn't invented). It's true that Laurent Fignon was banned for drug use, but the amphetamines he used are completely different to the oxygen vector doping (EPO and variants) used after 1991.

HN guidelines discourage these sort of shallow dismissive comments. Reading a constructive rebuttal would be more interesting.
You're missing that the Student Activities Fee or equivalent at most American universities is not voluntary. Students pay it (often several hundred dollars or more) on top of tuition and other fees, and have only limited or indirect control of where the fee goes. Here, the administration is giving a flat "no" rather than seeking a way to make things work (insurance or a satellite phone for the club).

That paternalism infantilizes the adult students and encourages a childlike mindset of seeking safety in exchange for submission to an authority and its power over you rather than an independent minded, solve-it-yourself, get-up-and-go ethos more conducive to a free society.
Also of note is Ikarie XB-1, a film based on Lem's novel, The Magellanic Cloud. It's beautiful - every frame perfectly composed, the set and costume design sleek, harmonious, the light design perfect. Very little of the film, released in 1963, feels dated. It directly influenced 2001: A Space Odyssey. But it's rather more optimistic, which I didn't expect.

Surely it should be:

I'd say its more a question of incentives. Taking strong stands on privacy are convenient today, when they are a juggernaut of lifestyle computing hardware, but if a strong future competitor is eating into Apple's growth... they will monetize what they can - and they have a lot of data on their users - probably approaching google in scope, in many areas.
You forgot the ~2000/week Model S and Xes they’re making in the same factory (although not the same line, obviously).
Snark aside, I think you hit on the main point. Bean counters have a two columns whenever they assess something, the value in profit a venture brings and the potential costs. They find the profit they derive from football more than covers the cost that they have to bear, while allowing students (adults, mind you) to go on outing trips has more potential cost than profit.

So, under the system we've given them, they made a rational decision.
>"The people moving in are not nearly as wealthy, so people are not really being pushed out in the numbers that they are pushed out in places like Manhattan or San Fran."

Backwards! Third-tier cities have contracted from their 20th-century peaks, so easily commutable lots and even homes are simply vacant. They're affordable to mere hundred-thousandaires because they're drowning in supply (though it might need some work). Displacement doesn't happen as much because abundance means you can get your own spot without taking someone else's.

The crappiest apartments in the San Francisco neighborhoods that time forgot are still insanely expensive next to national norms. No development is necessary for sufficiently high migration (against sufficiently low housing stock) to create a capacity crunch, and you're just as evicted when you're outbid by $500 vs. $5000.
I mean, in the past 7 or so years, all the boats have been rising. What would your returns have been if you put them in stocks? How great was and is the risk you take by taking tenants versus the risk you take by buying stocks?
This is totally a biased article against home ownership. Not one positive toward home ownership...I can't believe the author would be so biased.
It's an annualized rate of hundreds of thousands if you include all the models. For the model 3, 2600/wk makes for well over 100k/yr. Model S and X combined are going at an annualized rate of about 100k/yr, extrapolating from last quarter's 24,728 number. Altogether it's over 200k annualized.
This is awful analysis. Almost every one of the bullet points is just wrong, or at least terribly spun. I mean, one of them argues that homes are "heavily taxed" when of course they are the source of the biggest single deduction category in the whole budget, another claims with a straight face that the ability to leverage the investment via a (again, government subsidized!) loan is a bad thing!

Now, obviously not all investments are winners, even if they are "good" investments in principle. And there are all sorts of very good arguments about why homes should not be subsidized in the way they are, and that our government has made them "too good" in a way that harms the public as a whole. But nonetheless homes in almost all of the US are absolutely good investments. They have been for going on three quarters of a century now and certainly don't show signs of stopping.

Houses do pay dividends. You have to live somewhere, and you get to live in your house for free (in the analogy where it’s discussed as an investment.)

The alternative is much worse in many markets.
Anyone who responds to this article by saying their particular house was a good investment didn’t read the article.

There was a flyer on my door yesterday. We pay cash for your home, close in 3 days. Avoid realtor fees. There is only one problem, I have to live somewhere.

I'm not huge fan of being a homeowner, but if I decided to rent, my rent would be almost twice what my mortgage is.
I really fail to see how most of those points are relevant when you consider that a home is an investment you can, you know, live in. The alternative would be to rent indefinitely, which apparently we're ok with even though its not just a 0% return on investment, its an infinitely negative percent return on investment. Even if your house breaks even over 10 years, you still got to live in it for ten years for what is, functionally, the cost of interest + upkeep, which would often easily amount to less than rent.

If I stayed where I rented last year for ten years, the total cost over ten years (assuming the rent is never increased) (rent is always increased) is $132,0000. Even if my house cost that much to maintain over ten years plus interest (it won't), I'll still break even on the principal and enjoy the benefits of home ownership.

That's not to say that home ownership is always the right choice for everyone in every stage of life. But to sweep a broad generality like "houses are a terrible investment"...
The article doesn’t say that buying a house is a bad idea — just that it’s a bad investment. There’s many reasonable motives for buying a house, you’re just better off making sure that those motives are strong enough by themselves and you’re not doing it “because it’s a good investment”
