Of course you can't assume either way, which is exactly what they did, which means they over-counted, inflating the numbers in the direction of their conclusion.
Sure, but if the stock starts dropping during an earnings call in after hours trading and drops a whopping 5%+ at the opening of the next session then it is a reasonable assumption that something during the earnings call triggered the sell-off. And they were doing ok right up to the point where Elon stopped answering investors questions.
He actually addressed capital raise on the call and it was pretty clear when he kept saying that they wouldn't need or want a capital raise
I wonder how things would have gone if I had gotten into Lisp right in 1982, instead of 2000.
better public transportation would only alleviate the problem if it goes to places where additional supply gets built. otherwise it will just drive up prices in the places to which it adds accessibility. imagine a teleporter in stockton that goes anywhere in the bay. unless stockton allows additional housing near the teleporter, it will just become even more expensive than san francisco.

I don't live in CA, but I get why people want to. Where would you propose? Where else has a strong economy, good universities, nice weather, a well educated/talented work force, legal frameworks amenable to tech, good food, and interesting culture? There just aren't a lot of candidates, and if everyone moves hypothetically and never grapples with NIMBY policy, they'll just bring the problem with them.
I imagine Impact is from a time when javascript wasn't as performant and far from as portable as today. Is it still relevant given the canvas and sound improvements in a modern browser? What would be the major use cases for something like Impact versus starting from scratch?
You are insisting on the $68 a month figure based on dividing the total prchange in prices over all rentals then insisting the effect is actually almost entirely concentrated in a small segment of neighborhoods which means that we ought not logically to divide it between all parties but insisting on using the smaller figure derived from doing so.

This is bad math based on already uncertain math.

In a pathological case where we have a rich neighborhood consisting of 3 owners and 7 renters transformed into 3 owners 3 renters and 4 airbnbs not only would the price increase presumably by much more than 68 for the remaining renters the other renters would seek rent elsewhere increasing demand and therefore price. Given more buyers than sellers they would push someone out presumably to a still less desirable neighborhood where they would displace someone else.

Your neighborhood isn't a market unto itself and you can't pretend changes their don't have pervasive effects on the rest of the market and decreasing supply MUST increase price throughout the market.

I think sharing experiences is good. Sharing "medical knowledge" is poor.

My son, found when he was 7 and died when he was 12, had cancer and the idea of a trial can seem almost magical unless.... My son had bone cancer. To be in a trial you have to keep the tumor so you can measure effectiveness. The ONLY cure for bone cancer is surgery. So I hate the way trials work for my son and other's like him. This is why there has not been a single change in chemo or life expectancy for over 30 years for bone cancer!!!! It looks like finally dog research (More money goes to finding cures for dogs then children, let that sink into you when you have a kid with cancer), has the possibility of actually changing this trend.

Now the other issue is your child has cancer and they are only trying to see dosage. So they really want to know how much you can tolerate and not die. Again not a fan of putting my dying kid through more side-effects. Many kids choose to forgo treatment and just die, and you as a parent have to decide do I make the decision for them and every throw up and every pain is your fault (I had to make that decision once and I was glad I did he lived a few more years). I know some parents who agreed with their 5 year old and stopped everything but pain relief. I also have friends who pushed through years of treatments and they still suffer from the experience.

So those who did trials were soft tissue patients. One was with neuroblastoma and one has medulloblastoma (Brain cancer of the brain stem). The girl with brain cancer is still with us 3 years after it relapsed and her trial was not an effectiveness but a dosage but it looks like it has added years to her life already.

So I feel like this kind of discussion is good on HN.

Now my mom took my sister who had medulloblastoma to Mexico and I don't think it did anything but separate us from our family. I know some that I really think that crap killed them early and the stupid diets and painful procedures and false hopes just are horrible. I kind of put this who thing into that category. Your at the point where you will do anything, but in the end you would have better off not even do anything.

That's because the "debate" is a disingenuous farce. There is no such thing as a YIMBY. There are people who want something that someone else has and people who have something and are trying to keep it for themselves. There is literally no one volunteering their own backyard—it's always someone else's.

I've yet to see the YIMBY who rallies everyone in their building or on their block together and collectively agree to be voluntarily displaced so they can demo the building(s) they are in, build one that is taller, and move back in several years later.

I've yet to see the YIMBY who comes to a planning meeting and votes to have lot directly next to them rezoned so they can deal with construction for the next two years. I've yet to see the YIMBY who just purchased a home at the height of the market with a view of the GG bridge and who then votes in favor of rezoning the lot across the street so that it's taller and higher density than their unit, which blocks their view, natural sunlight, and decrease their property value.

All I see is people who live in Oakland trying to rally people to rezone areas of San Francisco. Or people who live in The Mission trying to rally people to rezone the areas around Golden Gate Park.

We need more housing. There are areas that, from a planning perspective, should definitely be rezoned for higher density housing. But the people who already live there don't want that. And well, they live there.

One of my favorite areas in the city is the Sea Cliff area. The one mile stretch of land that faces the water contains only about 30 homes. Half of them are vacant because they are investment properties. On any given there are probably like 20 or so people on those cliffs. That same amount of land in NYC would house thousands of people. But if you want to take the YIMBY movement to the extreme why don't go ahead and try to rezone that area. Displace a few dozen extremely rich people and we can house literally a thousand families.
I'd like to read this but can't find any workaround for the paywall.
Yep! There's a reason YIMBY groups are popping up all over the place.
I don't. I even say this in the post you are replying to.
> better public transportation would only alleviate the problem if it goes to places where additional supply gets built.

You have to have zoning that allows density around transit hubs, which NIMBYs oppose. So, I think you have to have the housing fight regardless.
Then there is the "I can get what I need in a 2hr meeting at the cost of 16hrs of other peoples time" ones.

I hate those ones.

If your programmers are taking laptops to meetings to write code while you are holding the meeting, you should consider a career in yak-farming not project management.

Also we need to schedule a meeting to find out why we are behind on our deliverables because of last weeks meeting taking most of the day putting everyone behind.

That one made me giggle.

Ideally your deployments are code. And tutorials are part of your website 'code', or integrated into your project (and thus 'code'). General graphs of the architecture would be docs in your code repo (and thus 'code' too). I'll admit tho that it's pretty sensible to just not consider some of those as 'code' and thus conclude that documentation outside of the code is important too.

But the original commenter is also probably right that 'second hand' documentation is probably the least accurate.
LOL, not even close.

In the grand scheme of things figuring out how to make model3's faster than they can sell them is a boring problem for Musk and I could imagine how frustrating it must be to have all the banks freaking out as if they're going to miss a fleeting opportunity to sell a bunch of cars. It's like when Nikola Tesla was trying to build worldwide wireless telegraphy but J.P. Morgan just wanted him to make fluorescent lights. Hopefully things go better for Elon than they did for Nikola.

Different people like different kinds of puzzles. I like Fermi-type problems, which at least at one time, it seemed like everyone on the internet liked to bash. It may be they are no longer bashed because interviewers abandoned them.

I once posted a puzzle on a different website that boiled down to "why did I choose this particular non-round number" with some context, and eventually someone got it, but some people got very angry at me.

The trouble is that a lot of puzzles reduce to "can you follow a particular convoluted path to a solution" and if you don't, you are being judged unworthy for being dissimilar in your thinking and not necessarily for your sheer brainpower.

That's why I prefer puzzles that nobody has solved, but those have two obvious problems - either (a) they are too hard to solve, or (b) once solved, they appear to be too easy. Either way, you can't use them as tests.

It's natural to like tests that you are good at and other people are not, and to hate tests that other people are good at and you are not. So, people are always going to take offense at tests.
Seva launches unified search for gSuite, Box, Atlassian and many others
And all perfectly addressable. YIMBY policies typically addresses housing first, but also understands that parking/traffic issues also happen when cities grow in size. The NIMBY point that "these things are bad and will only get worse!" presumes that there's not changes made to address those as well (increased public transit, bike initiatives, parking garages).

That said, if your issue is strictly xenophobic/culture shift, sorry but you can't legislate demographics (and maintain a moral high ground). The idea that new people will have a higher rate of criminal behavior, this can again be addressed with deterrents towards criminal behavior rather than deterrents towards population growth (which isn't going to be stopped, just exploited using by those in control of the current housing supply)

This really blows my mind. It really can't be some sort of pretension or cliquish type of instinctual herding impulse ... can it ???

I've never understood the whole concentration of the tech industry in such dense clusters, it's quite literally not only the opposite of what all the wise men predicted technology and the internet would do and is also totally contrary to some fundamental technology concepts. Talk about putting all your eggs in a basket.

On the other hand, I also don't understand how other cities seem to be unable to attract a kind of threshold level of tech people to incubate something similar elsewhere.

It feels like it is seriously way past due that the big tech companies get broken up and their monopolies shattered in order to allow for competition and diversification of the market.
Workaround for #4. List all relevant tech at/near the top of your resume under a section called something like "Skills" or likely a better name than that. Try to be as concise as possible and avoid going too granular (listing just SQL vs TSQL, MYSQL, XYZSQL). I do something similar and avoid listing the tech used for jobs. If I was versed in many stacks/frameworks, I might have a bullet point/mention under each position what stack each company used (Rails, .NET, Django). As a side note to all of this, I believe resumes/CVs should be a single page

The Earth and Moon system orbit the Sun, but the Moon is very much in orbit around the Earth.

A more likely scenario is that the Earth's orbit will move outwards as the Sun expands, since stars in the red giant phase(s) lose a lot of mass. It's plausible that the Earth/Moon will not be destroyed, physically. But in that case all life would have been obliterated due to the immense temperatures associated with having the surface of the Sun within a few million miles (or less) of Earth.

I kinda think Buffett's way of investing is obsolete these days. Every single analyst is studying the fundamentals and financials of companies now. Every single analyst has access to the same information he had. It was different decades ago when we didn't have BloomBerg, Thomson Reuters, FactSet, etc. Now everyone does. His advantage now is just that he has boatloads of money to buy companies and turn them around.
Seems to be a lot of caricature and rhetoric on both sides. It comes with any emotionally charged political topic. There are probably smart NIMBYs and dummy YIMBYs too. For some there is not an easy side to pick. Do I want lower housing prices in the Bay Area? Sure. Do I want dense apartments and town houses to be 90% of my options? No way. I’m not sure which side to support or whether to support a side.

Very cool! I have recently begun experimenting with interesting YubiKey projects.

The simplest project was getting the One Time Password working for SSH & Local authentication on my OpenBSD laptop: https://www.romanzolotarev.com/openbsd/yubikey.html

The next one I tried was using the YubiKey as a smart card in conjunction with gpg-agent for making ssh connections. This did not work out. I couldn't figure out how to add the certificates loaded into gpg2 into gpg-agent using ssh-add. It might me some quirkiness unique to NixOS. I'm looking forward to trying with a different linux distro. Used this guide here: https://rzetterberg.github.io/yubikey-gpg-nixos.html

Overall I have been a fan of YubiKeys since 2013. I hope they continue growing the product.
> It’s irrational for a company to pay you more to be in SF when they can pay talent less that chooses to live elsewhere.

There’s almost no way its true that they can get the same talent for less elsewhere. You’re arguing that somehow every major tech company is simultaneously irrationally acting against their own very strong profit motives.
Problem is the battery and storage degradation is very real. While a simple factory reset solves some of the storage fragmentation, you'll never get the original owner's same experience with the device (unless you won the used device lottery and received a barely used handset).

But something like an iPhone 6 definitely is a competitor against a brand new $200 Android device (and may receive security updates for longer).

My case is interesting. I have big student loan payments that don't adjust to my income or salary. I feel tethered to high CoL areas because those areas offer higher salaries with more take-home income, despite a higher median rent.

The best balance for me is a high salary in a low CoL so I don't burn my take-home on rent, but I'd rather be given a larger salary, spend some more on rent, and have more money left over to pay off my debt.
