It's both. City planners are constrained to their own jurisdiction, so they're trying to come out ahead by ensuring that the next wave of growth doesn't leave them behind. They're trying to solve a local optimization problem, where their competition is often the neighboring localities with whom they will share the wider trend of whatever the future may bring, but the resulting wealth will be allocated depending on exact settlement and zoning patterns. It's a prisoner's dilemma.

Meanwhile, developers -- as a loose cohort -- are absolutely the executors for the nationwide phenomenon. Their loyalty is to not to the land or their products, but to the cycle of plan, build, and profit. Wherever they are, they're deeply entangled in local politics, and lobby the local officials to let them build homes on farmland to be upzoned. They leave behind subdivisions that don't actually generate enough revenue to the town to make up for their hookups to utilities and services, but the population growth looks good for the town in reports that businesses look at to expand or relocate.

Just like a B-roll of the cities now scrambling to attract Amazon, these suburbs are hoping they'd be picked instead of the town one over when some company with national pockets wants to build a 200-job call center, data center, or distribution warehouse. In mainstream America, these tiny battles between neighboring towns are fought and lost thirty, fifty jobs at a time.
I think there's a pretty solid argument that Google shouldn't be trusting Telus's SPF records. Just to take it to the extreme, suppose a spammer were to send emails through a gateway that they control. In that case, there would be no third-party with independent SPF records to rely on since the spammer would control them.

Google shouldn't need any "advanced algorithms" to tell that the message didn't originate from their own mail servers, or an SMTP client. I'd expect this ability from any email provider. I'd be shocked if this was possible at, e.g. Fastmail.
You just answered your own question. People would be more likely to to break their knuckles on people's skills which means there will be less hits to people's skulls to cause concussions.
Well, trying to build AI using failed papers from the 1980s have near zero value today.

What Tesla is doing is like building a modern app but refusing to do A/B tests or code review or version control, generally universally accepted methods in the current industry, and going back to re-try software development patterns of the 1980s that failed.
> confluence of divisive political headwinds and an outrage-driven news
> I doubt Google will find itself in a hot seat

You're suggesting Hollywood will abandon a decade-plus long effort to beat down the influence of big tech, and increase regulation of the Internet, now, when it's going so well?[1]
Or that some integrity of governance, quality of public policy, or competence of journalism, will hold them in check?

> Maybe such a controversy is waiting for Google. I hope so,

Controversies against Google will continue to be nurtured, year after year. And one of them, instead of incremental erosion, may well end up being a similar political-media event.

Whether you think this process is a good thing or not, depends in part on what kind of Internet you would like to have.

Amazing, make me feel good about abandoning google ecosystem a few years ago

Best part is I don’t miss it at all, grew up before evil google, didn’t get to rely on their evil parts when switched away

"Automotive: Isopropyl alcohol is a major ingredient in "gas dryer" fuel additives." Syria gets freezing temperatures in winter.

Also 'sarin use' was added 19 April. And the guy added it to the introduction, but it was removed later with the comment "... dangerous molecules are often in part made from everyday chemicals as components."
this was how i wrote matlab - stub out a function, set a breakpoint, run the app, manipulate the variables in the debugger till the algorithm is working, copy and paste back into the editor, save and run again

all without touching the mouse
Which presumably prevents them from using university resources and funding. It may also limit their ability to recruit and hold meetings on the campus, depending on Penn State's policies.

So yes, this is still a fairly big deal for the Outing Club.
It's unsafe without the connotation of a rape joke, but it was still funny.
Attract them in with an artificial flavor that rats just so happen to like. Lead them into a trap and cremate the remains on site. You would still need to stock bait and fuel but should this way you wouldn't have to go there constantly to reset everything. Or introduce silicon based predators..

Presumably, they'd be losing the funding that the university provides to official student organizations. It may be difficult to go hiking on your own if you don't have a car, or have a friend who has one.
US Bank took away next day transfers to a bank account via routing/account number (ACH) as they are pushing Zelle more. They also dropped the (previously higher) transaction limits on 3-day routing/acct numb/ACH down to the $5,000 3-day limit on Zelle.

It’s frustrating when they take away a perfectly good service just push their new thing harder.
Before we move on to your new Straw Man accusation, let's close out your old accusation that my argument is Ad Hom. Do you concede that point, if not why?
No, Java makes no such distinction in passing. Java does have values which are not object pointers, but, just like object pointers, they are passed by value, and behave exactly the same as an immutable object in either language.
I would think it'd only work if everyone in the game was willing to take x% off their revenue. If you take out 10% of the games, the revenue would fall off.

If the schedule is reduced, a certain amount of payback or retroactive contract negotiation would have to occur with the myriad of networks paying to broadcast the games.
I suspect it's about legal liability for rape.

And they know that any "legitimate" reason they cook up is going to apply to some other club or sport so they're keeping the report secret.

No, it is not. Prove it to me by writing a Java function which can cause a variable in the caller's scope to point to a different object. You cannot, because Java is not pass-by-reference. C++ is, and you can do this. So are macros in many languages, and you can do this. Java is not pass-by-reference.
Not a very unique style as claimed though. Common Lisp implementations often have a very full featured debugger coupled with conditional restarts the experience is awesome and really should be a preresquite for any dynamic language to be called fit for serious application. Unfortunately it is often absent

With more and more students coming out of college with debt, your student loans account for a much smaller percentage of income in a city like SF than in Boise
As someone who was looking at the data on glassdoor while writing my comment, and who has dealt with offers from recruiters, and who has an extensive network of friends who are open about their earnings, I call bullshit on your calling of bullshit.

There are certainly outliers. There are certainly people with excellent skills who are being underutilized, and who will get paid a lot more if they find the exact right fit. Just a wild guess, but you didn't go from 35k in Pittsburgh to 140k in SF, you went from a lot more than that in Pittsburgh to a lot more than that in SF. If you're up in the 200k+ range in software in SF, you'd probably earn a lot less going anywhere except maybe NY or Boston. But if you're in the "average software engineer salary" range in SF, the falloff going to a mid-sized city is not nearly as steep.
Most LEDs have their brightness controlled via PWM, which essentially switches the LED on and off many thousand times per second.

You can see this in most LED car taillights if you move your eyes while paying attention to the light -- it will create a 'strobe' effect, a trail of images along the path that it traveled in your field of view.

Some people are sensitive to this flicker. A similar thing happens with most DLP projectors.
> many of those same countries have experienced genocides and holocausts from their powerful governments acting against a disarmed citizenry

More from the fact that a few armed citizens aren’t a match for an industrial state’s military. The Jews in the Warsaw uprising had guns, grenades, etc. but nowhere near enough people to defend against an army.

If you want to avoid atrocities, strong civil institutions matter a lot more than fantasies about LARPing Somalia.
keep in mind that esports are still quite young. the top three games right now seem to be csgo, LoL, and dota 2. none of these games have lineages that go back more than twenty years. my guess is that the first twenty years of what became baseball, soccer, etc were even more unstable in their rulesets.

i think your take is correct in the long run, but developers have a long road ahead of them before they are creating truly balanced games that can endure decades without change.
That sounds really similar to Netlify CMS, especially the use of Git for content storage+version history and the focus on a decoupled UI for editing content. It's really cool to hear from somebody exploring the same space! Git as a backend for content is a really interesting concept that's worked very well for us so far, and I'd be interested to hear how you're implementing that and what issues you've run into. The internationalization approach you describe on the features page is pretty intriguing as well - that's a feature that we should improve our support for in Netlify CMS.

Feel free to ping me using the contact info in my profile or at @benaiah in our Gitter room (https://gitter.im/netlify/NetlifyCMS) if you're interested in discussing this elsewhere.
The sad thing is that trying to increase density in places like SV isn’t just about taming housing inflation, denser places are also better places to live. I think there are lot of people out there who would like living in a place like Brooklyn Heights, where you have 3-5 story row houses (small enough for a single family) that are connected together along a tree lined block, with shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. Governments won’t even allow you to build a neighborhood like that anymore.
Google does not allow anyone access to my data and I like things to work in the interest of the company. The last company going to give up your data is Google. They know the value and there business is based on trust. They lost trust and they are screwed while companies like Apple do not have the same on the line and why we see Google invest so much more into security and why Google has found Shellshock, Cloudbleed, Spectre, Heartbleed and meltown among others and Apple and MS did not find a single one.

Another example is Apple handed over all their user data in China over to the government while Google instead left China. Kind of saids it all.

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2018/03/apple-privacy...
Campaign targets Apple over privacy betrayal for Chinese iCloud ...

You never know if any company deleted your data but trust Google far more because as they have more to lose and Apple giving up their users data in China proves my point. Apple gives your data away and my daughter is still buying a iPhone.

Let me give a specific examples of my issue with Apple. I try to keep all my data at Google. They are not going to give it up for dollar like Apple in China and Google has the best security by a huge amount.

We were recently on holiday and several of my kids have iPhones. I permanently share my location on Google maps. But when we are traveling I use iMessages with my iPhone kids. They need to find me when out and about and will share my location in iMessages as easy to do.

But I do not have a way to clearly remove from Apple as I do not want that data at Apple. I do not want my data spread around. Apple is the worse like this. Google offers on their own and we will need the gov to force Apple to do the same.

Hope that helps.
Amazon buys rights to the prequel of Lord of the Rings for $250M
Why the sentiment? I'm having issues thinking of a company in SV (or anywhere else) that can't be degraded down like that :)
If the description / pictures sell me on the thing being valuable, I pretty immediately download it to try out. In my experience, the time/value tradeoff of watching a video (which in a lot of cases has either extra fluff or has been cleaned up) vs just trying the app/service/etc is not worth it. Which makes it critical that the static contents of the page have enough detail to convince me there's a chance the app could fill a use case for me.
There are already tons of Facebook competitors. But most of them miss the point.

For example, Diaspora really misses the mark. You go to their homepage it emphasizes freedom and controlling your data and doesn't once mention the thing people care about in a social network... people.

Most people don't care about privacy except nerds like me and most of you. They care that they can view the latest adorable photos of people kids and pets and message all their friends.

For that point most tech people care about those things too. Which is why, for example, even though I have been aware of Facebooks issues for years I am still on there. My friends and family are there.

The first thing they ask is "can I connect with the people I care about on this site." If the answer is "not yet" then most people won't join.

> Is the Washington Post & OPCW lying?

No. They say "On Thursday, the United States said it had credible information to suggest that Syria and Russia were working to delay the OPCW mission..."

No one is lying and nevertheless this article is no more than those photos with people with masks (possibly oxygen masks). All that was said that US claims that it have some evidence to suggest. There are nothing was said that OPCW claims the same and WP itself doesn't claim anything about Syria.

There was nothing said that those "credible information" is not the one that we do not have, maybe it is just a common sense: if Syria claims control over the area, that any delays for OPCW are from government?

All the article is just random informational noise saying nothing. All the US claims was predictable a priory, article adds nothing to those predictions. It means zero information.

To find truth you should read carefully even when you read scientific article which is written in a way to be plain. But when you read media-news, you need to be very careful and to read every word.

You're right in the same technically-correct sense that parsing HTML 4 is easy: it's just SGML! And as long as you don't have to support any of the crazy deviations from the spec that some people have come to rely on, that's fine.

There's a whole spectrum of unofficial parser "helpfulness" here, with HTML 4 being an extreme case of parsers filled with hacks to deal with existing broken data, protobufs being an extreme case of parsers doing the One and Only True Thing, and JSON mostly toward the same end of the spectrum as protobufs, but a bit less so.

If lack of cell service in case of emergency is really the reason for denying backwoods hikes, can't they just carry an emergency personal locator beacon?
Yes. This is what lmm and others in this thread are missing. Pass-by-reference includes behavior which Java does not exhibit but which several other languages (C++, C and Lisp macros, etc.) do.

You can't call Java pass-by-reference just because it feels right to you. It is a phrase which means something which some languages are and Java is not.
How is that significant? You can also run eBay or Amazon on filing cabinets full of paper; is that significant? in both cases the costs and complexity are insane.
I thought about using "common pitfalls". You think this would be better?
I agree with you. However as a workaround in the meantime what you may be able to do is:

1. Change the email address to a disposable one. There's so many services, no way HN can prevent you doing this.

2. Update the password to a unique, complex password. Store it or don't, your choice.

3. Walk away from the account.
What gives me a headache is not being able to control the focus. Normally you can choose to focus on something close or far away. With a 3D screen, the focal point is always the same. Something that's not in focus on the screen can't be brought into focus.

The problem is the same for non-3D screens, but they don't bother me(probably because I've been looking at 2D screens my entire life). The added 3D effect is what seems to trigger it for me.
> Sometimes I might get around to calling my bank (somewhat depends on my perception of how long their customer service is going to take to fix the issue), but it's faster for me to just replace that card with another card from my collection of cards (I've got too many cards to keep them all in my wallet at any given time).

This is a real and common problem for banks/card issuers, who tend to be obsessive about keeping genuine transactions declined to a minimum for this reason.

Blocking all fraud is achievable, but it would come at the cost of many instances like this.
I'm very into combat sports and I've seen this argument a lot. It makes no sense to me. Watch some bareknuckle boxing, people are not holding back and just break their hands all the time and knockouts happen much earlier. The newest science on CTE makes it seem like accumulated small damage might actually be worse than periodic large damage, so the only argument in favor of bare knuckle boxing is that you get knocked out so quickly that you don't get a chance to accumulate damage.

8oz gloves seems to be a very reasonable middle ground to me.
People who are worried about turning San Francisco into Manhattan also don't know what Manhattan is even like! The Upper West & Upper East Side as well as Harlem do not look anything like e.g. the Financial District. Even within Manhattan there is a huge variety of building heights.

I used to live in Yorkville in a six story building in an area filled with other six story (and smaller) buildings. We had a nice park with a public pool, multiple schools with kids running around in the afternoons, and some people even owned cars. It was an actual community, not some caricature of what people think living in Manhattan is like.
> What did the auto unions actually accomplish in the last 3-4 decades?

Survival.

When you are the target of a very well-funded propaganda campaign to delegitimize your very existence, what do you expect?

People in the US are so stupid that they denigrate the very unions that stood in front of guns and bullets in order to get them the 40 hour work week, child labor laws, pensions, and health care to name just a few accomplishments.

It's beginning to turn (see the recent teacher walkouts--most of which are illegal in the eyes of the law, by the way), but it's very slow.
I mean, you can call it bad, but it provely works for the thing that it intended to solve.

That thing being sending censorship resistant, electronic financial transactions.

If you don't believe me that this worked, then please go back to 2010 and tell me a better way to donate money to Wikileaks.

At the end if the day, I could send money to Wikileaks, and there were no other options that worked at the time.

The points that you brought up don't really matter, because Bitcoin has been around for 8+ years and we don't see those attacks happening.

I don't care about the theoretical. I care about the practical. Come back to me with that attack vector once it actually happens on the live network, and money going to Wikileaks or whoever ACTUALLY gets censored.

Pete Hautman wrote a satirical novel about a decade ago, called "Rash," in which a spirited teenager defies the very cautious norms of "The United Safer States of America." Our hero gets sent off to a penal colony north of the Arctic Circle, where he must make pizzas all day. Without giving away too much, the system does not crush his spirit.

It's a weird book, but when well-meaning grown-ups are putting the squeeze on adventurous students, I'm glad that such books (still) exist. Hope they don't get banned. A link is here: https://www.amazon.com/Rash-Pete-Hautman/dp/0689869045

I’m a Penn State grad and have been hearing about this from a couple of people, glad to see it’s getting wider attention.

If the “no cell service” issue is really the problem, this is even more embarrassing. Satellite phones are a thing, and if they can’t afford the subscription for that, then get a subscriptionless emergency satellite beacon instead. They cost a few hundred dollars.

It’s even run by an international treaty with many satellite networks listening for these alerts and forwarding them to local authorities. Works pretty much anywhere in the world and costs less than most cell phones.
