You're ignoring the consequences that come from building large amounts of new housing at once, I should preface this by saying I'm very much in favor of new housing just we need to be careful about it.

First you grow talent the same way it grew in the bay area, by letting people work on challenging software products decade over decade.

Second, population growth leads to strains on civic infrastructure which in the bay area is way under invested in. Additionally, there is a very limited amount of infil available to build new housing on, so it would require that other housing get torn down in order to build said new housing. In areas with small lots, this is harder to do because you need to buy up a bunch of surrounding properties to build a larger building.

This often contributes to increased displacement as developers are buying up properties, using laws such as the ellis act to evict and redevelop properties. Oddly enough, the restricted zoning which keeps prices high, also reduces the amount of redevelopment that happens which keeps land values lower and maintains rent control that would not be allowed for new buildings under costa hawkins.

Additionally, the political infeasibility of San Francisco should not be overlooked. This is a city with a long history of anti-capitalist activity and capitalists should recognize this fact and go to places that will be more accepting of their investments.
The interesting realisation for me about Walter White came when I started watching the season through for a second time.

But first... SPOILER ALERT!

I mean the first time around I had some sympathy for the guy - he was a disappointed and somewhat embittered middle aged man still trying to do his best to support his family, and then he's given this crappy cancer diagnosis. I felt bad for him. Fair to say that by the time he just lets Jesse's girlfriend, Jane, choke to death on her own vomit whilst unconscious I'd entirely lost that and felt nothing but loathing for the character (which isn't to say I didn't enjoy the show, or think he was a great character).

But what I realised on revisiting the show a couple of years later is that Walter White didn't break bad. He was bad from the very beginning. I mean look at the way he interacts with people in the early episodes of season 1: he's largely an asshole. The only thing that changes is that, initially because he's driven to, he becomes much more comfortable with manifesting his assholery overtly.
Yes, but when institutional investors pointed out holes in his explanation about how you could go from burning 1B a quarter with 3B on hand and not need a capital raise, they got "boring" and "next."
You're not seeing the candidates who pass "bad" interviews, who aren't complaining, and who like their jobs because the bar is high.

No. Chance + selection. VERY important difference.
> 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

Yes, his forward looking statement was clear, just as Tesla's repeatedly-missed production projections have been clear.

OTOH, when your statements about the future keep turning out to be wrong, it's not surprising that people want more than your conclusions but also want supporting evidence that those conclusions are grounded in reality.
But so what if it's messy? As the parent commenter pointed out, this isn't a courtroom. It's a discussion forum.

The only decision to be made (at least of the yea/nay form you seem to be positing) is in pursuing a particular job posting. Surely the vast majority of HN readers are savvy enough not to let mere sour grapes dissuade them. Perhaps more imporantly, so what? Does the loss of volume, if there is even is any, either in job postings or in applicants, actually hurt anyone? Is the increased volume on the thread really a problem in the face of the "[-]" clickable feature?

Does it justify essentially stifling all commentary speech here?

I just ran into this a few days ago. I was having a hard time debugging why the token would randomly lock up when I tried to do client auth in firefox/opensc while the yubikey had PGP mode unlocked.

What's wrong with Okular? I like having PDF.js in my browser for quick previews and I find it way more preferable than what Chrome does with its plugin, but on the desktop I wouldn't really choose PDF.js over Okular.
Sure, I'm also not saying that companies shouldn't keep what they have in the bay area, I'm just suggesting that they should target future growth in other regions instead.
Twitter – Keeping your account secure
Well, I'm assuming it works like Stack Overflow. I can edit my own posts, but not those of others. Only high reputation moderators have the ability to edit other people's posts.

Here's how we coach moderators on the internal Stack-like site we run...

Editing

When editing content written by others, do so with respect to the person who is the original author of the content. Correct simple spelling and grammatical errors, but don't rewrite whole sentences or restructure some else's document. Instead, post a comment suggesting changes or corrections.
More and more young people come to CA to start their careers, but then take the experience (and ability to command high salaries) and move to a cheaper state. We're eroding our talent pool with the crazy high cost of living. The area will just become full of transient college grads.

Why You Should Never Center or Right Align Your Logo
Oh that really depends on which season. The brilliance of that story was how he evolved into the moral monster from someone who was morally unassailable. Could it happen to you? To me? What are our limits, and where is the tipping point of no return once we start down the path?
You can substitute "Bay Area" with many of the major centers in the US at this point - Seattle, LA, Denver, Austin all have the same issues, they're just a few years behind the Bay. We need fixes to zoning and development rules and tax laws, they help cities be more liveable as it will help everyone. Cities overseas have figured this out, to some degree - rent as a % of income is lower in both Europe and Asia, generally, and it's a lot easier to build effective mass transit when housing densities are a bit higher. The single family home is one of the worst things to happen to the US, and it's slowly killing us with traffic and spiraling housing prices.
always happy to see rss support! :)
Not sure I particularly enjoy being a web developer, it just seems to be where I have landed. I do love coding of all types though. There are definitely some open source libraries I am interested in though. I guess this leads to further questions, say I were to contribute heavily to a decent project, would this be sufficient to get a company's interest up (in your opinion) - or do you think it should just be one part of my strategy?
This looks pretty nice, I like the idea and the abstraction seems nice. Super annoying problem though: you're stealing my Mac's swipe to go back gesture on your entire page even where you have no swipe actions.

True, but it forces meetings to compete with meetings rather than development in the schedule.
How are you using YubiKey? Is it worth $40 tag?
I didn't want to buy it because of the price tag, however, now since I have at least three good use-cases I feel like it's worth the cost. I intend to use it for GPG storage, GMail 2FA, and LastPass 2FA.

What are a few other good use-cases? How are you using it? Are there any cheaper alternatives?

Another amusing example of mundane publishers interested in great profits, but disinterested in (or unable to discern) great literature. That Melville was well-received in Britain is interesting.

There's certainly an argument to be made that such freedom benefits all but the poorest (those who neither travel nor own real estate), but is restricting this convenient, popular, voluntary service a reasonable way to approach the much broader income inequality problems? That's a stretch. Seems to me like it's a natural consequence of a more connected world, and like you mentioned in another comment, there are more significant issues such as zoning and nimbyism that should be ground-zero for real estate prices in most cities.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that Airbnb increases equality by democratizing travel for the lower middle class in a way that was inaccessible before, at the biggest expense to hotel owners. I'd also like to see numbers on real estate usage in NY (defined as the percentage of each unit occupied per unit time) before and after Airbnb -- I would wager that living quarters are being used more efficiently as a result. And of course how much people travel now vs. before (which I think could be considered a quality-of-life metric).
We've gotten to a point in which much of the US population is in borderline slavery. You either starve to death or work in these brutal work conditions. Another alternative is being in prison. This doesn't apply to blue collar work alone. Obscene sociopathic, bullying, cruel behavior in corporations is widespread. You learn that cheating, stealing and lying is what the majority do in order to survive and/or prosper.
I'm surprised debtor's prison hasn't bee reinstated.
Anyways most people say this is "human nature" and there is no better system, so nothing to see here.

At Pivotal Labs, yes. However, I work in a completely remote environment right now. We have an office for the business but no one in the product engineering teams or tech teams work in the office (or even in the same state or country as the office). We have a written daily roundup (like a 10 minute standup but it's written and it's asynchronous), a 30 minute retrospective once a week, and a 30 minute planning meeting once per week. That is the grand total of all meetings for the group as a whole. Individuals may meet and work together as needed. It works extremely well for remote work.

It seems like this is an obvious read, right up until I see people mystified by these shows. "Better to be hated than pitied" is a simple enough sentiment, and if it comes alongside direction and certainty than all the better - even the certainty of having no way out.

Most people don't actually do that, thank god, because they have consciences. But it's simple enough to understand "I want to just commit to something, anything, and stop feeling empty" as a principle. Hell, Jim Profit literally slept in a cardboard box every night and people wanted to be him.

If it's a bankruptcy (and why would they told before that point?), whatever he deposit contract or general principles of law suggest for a going concern would be the upper limit of refunds, but the actual value would be dependent on what assets were left and what other claims were competing.

At worst we would revert to hybrids as the dominant low-emission platform. Which is still much, much better than IC-only. Tesla dates back to 2003 by which point Toyota and Honda had been selling hybrids for six years.

But given that Nissan and Renault had EVs on the market for as long as Teslas has, I wouldn't be too concerned about the post-Tesla EV market.
Maybe this is a stupid question, but why don't manufacturers evacuate the drives (i.e. create a vacuum) instead of filling them with Helium?

You'd certainly expect the long-term failure for Helium filled to be lower. By displacing (moist) air, you've completely stopped any metal corrosion. Helium is also highly conductive to heat, so you will even out any hot spots.

Does anyone know to what sort of pressure helium the drives are filled?

Seeking grant proposals $250k total budget for privacy blockchain tech projects
tl;dr the Zcash Foundation (my employer) wants to fund people with cool ideas that loosely fit into the blockchain x privacy space. For those of you in academia: Discretionary funds! The deadline for proposals is May 18.

Announcement blog post: https://z.cash.foundation//blog/q2-grant-program/

Here's the call for proposals directly: https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/GrantProposals-2018Q2

Ideas go here: https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/GrantProposals-2018Q2/issues (you can also see what others have proposed so far!)

The last time we ran this grant program, there were 27 applicants. You can see their proposals and the discussion about them here: https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/GrantProposals-2017Q4/issues

10 grants were awarded. The specific amounts were based on scope — it varied from $4,500 to $30,000. More details here: https://z.cash.foundation//blog/grant-awards/

We have more than double the budget for the current round of grants.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave them below, or email sonya@z.cash.foundation. Thanks!

A recent study[1] found that blue light from smartphones are linked to some cancers. The cancers are not caused directly by blue light, but are caused by the fact that melatonine is surpressed by certain light temperatures, and disrupting melatonine and thus the circadian rythm can increase cancer risk.

I'm guessing that the mechanism found in this HN submission's story also uses some non-obvious, indirect mechanism. Biology is messy and complex.
