That's how I heard it. Turns out Berkeley got rent control in 1972 while Prop 13 was passed in 1978. But generally you're right.

It's still my understanding that landlords of multiple units who have tenants in rent control would have a massive problem with the repeal of Prop 13. It's one of the things that go hand in hand with rent control and keep costs low. They would have a strong argument for being unable to maintain their buildings and run a business without Prop 13.

Visa Inc | Platform Engineer | Kubernetes / OpenShift | Onsite | Austin, TX | Full Time | Relocation - Yes | Visa - Yes

I'm looking for a platform engineer responsible for implementing containers and cloud-native platform components supporting containers on an on-premise Kubernetes orchestration platform. You will be part of a team that accelerates the adoption of on-premise serverless and cloud-native technologies within Visa Digital. Responsibilities include building tools for developer productivity, application logging, caching, data layer, and configuration management.

If you're passionate about solving distributed system problems at Visa's scale, please feel to reach out to me at ssivasha@visa.com.
I definitely second ACR. I use it and have it set up to record literally every phone call I make or receive. (You might need to be mindful of espionage laws depending on where you live, as some states/countries might require consent from both parties.)

I'd strongly suggest everyone record their phone calls with any kind of company or business, especially larger corporations. It's a good way to make sure they can't renege once they've promised you something.
Not to belittle your advice, which is probably very good advice. But it's kinda weird when going outside requires a response protocol like an ABC attack just happened.

Outside of Manhattan, much of NYC's system is aboveground, too. I'm not sure it normally makes much sense to put the trains underground in any but the most densely populated areas.

> It's a death spiral waiting to happen.

Probably not.

> Companies will move away from areas where their employees can't get hosting.

And if that happens in even a small degree, housing prices will drop, relieving the problem. It's only a problem if their is a sharply threshold where below which no one moves out, but just above which lots of companies do. That's not entirely implausible, but it's not all that probable.

> Not many have to move before the rest start to follow

That right there is the highly speculative part; if it's true, you have an out of control positive feedback loop, but otherwise it's a self-controlling negative feedback loop.

No, they don't. All homeowners don't have the same utility function. Not living near people of different socio-economic strata is a very important factor in some people's utility function.

Before it ran on F1/Spanner, Adwords ran on sharded MySQL on Borg. Not for its entire early life, but for quite a few years. Later in life, Checkout and maybe Wallet ran on MySQL on Borg, too. So did YouTube, which used Vitess, a sharding layer (now ported to Kubernetes and open sourced).

I've heard about plenty of people who won large payouts in the lottery, it doesn't mean I'd go to them for financial advice. Places that rely on a single test or data point create perverse incentives to inflate the data point. I was a fairly intelligent student throughout most of my school career, but I flunked more than one class in college because of bad teachers who were incapable of teaching the subject matter(There was a single student who passed with a C in that class every other student failed, I passed easily with a different teacher) or real life issues taking priority (working a full time job distracts from grades). I agree with your statement that the issue is complicated, but perhaps some things shouldn't be simplified.

Googlers, including the ones working on Kubernetes, like to pick on MPM, but that's probably because they haven't run major services deployed from Docker images.

Yes. It's called war. What's confusing here? If a citizen of a nation thinks that another nation is not behaving as they would like (whichever country or whatever behavior that is), the proper channels to enact change are through government action, either diplomatic or militarized.

Asking a private corporation to be international police is not good for anyone, as well intentioned as it may seem.
> "if it crashes no one dies"

That's a very optimistic assumption. A bike crashing into a pedestrian can definitely kill them if it knocks them over and they hit their head on something hard. Lots of elderly people even die of complications from broken hips. And a bike, even at low speed, can do a lot of damage to a small child.

A bike that swerves in front of a car can easily cause the car to lose control and crash into a person or another car, resulting in death or serious injury.

For these reasons, I'd expect that getting self-driving bikes to work safely (and to be allowed by regulators) would have most of the obstacles that self-driving cars face.

Note that in certain places (e.g., NYC), bicycles are subject to all the same traffic laws as cars. For example, they must stop at red lights, yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, respect one-way streets and not ride on sidewalks.[1] (It's not clear whether it would even be legal for an autonomous bike to drive in a bike lane, since it's certainly a motorized vehicle when driving autonomously.) Thus, an autonomous bicycle would have to have the navigation skills to be able to safely share streets with cars, trucks and buses in dense urban traffic. Can an autonomous bike carry around enough computing power and sensors to handle those kinds of situations?

[1] While most bicyclists in NYC ignore traffic laws, a self-driving bike that's not even capable of obeying such laws would certainly be frowned upon.

> It annoys me when people conflate a terse and/or illegible programming style with functional programming.

The problem is, functional programming languages are almost always harder to read than other languages. Haskell is the obvious example, but Lisp is pretty bad too. It takes a bit of experience to be able to refactor in the middle of a Lisp block without messing up the balancing of the parentheses. Yes, it can be learned, and it can be learned faster than people expect. But the barrier to entry is much higher than it is for most languages.

By the way, I love both Haskell and Lisp, and I think more people should use them. But I'm not going to pretend it's easy get started working with those languages.

F# and other languages ML-style syntax are probably the easiest to read.

I found articles about the debate on whether to build it or not. They started debating it in 1912 and the car companies vigorously fought it which isn't a surprise.

how many times have you obsessed about the perfect HN comment though?
I'm wondering if this is government overzealousness, not something Microsoft particularly cared about (aside from their lawyer perhaps carelessly chiming in). Government has a lot invested in this prosecution: they set up a sting, some prosecutor's reputation is probably on the line.

It very much reminds me of the Aarton Swartz case (whose life was destroyed by Carmen Ortiz).

Anyway, the article is light on details.
Kubernetes might be simpler than Borg in so many ways (let me count the ones I care about...), but it also has better features that Borg did not implement (labels and selectors) or that are offered only by some other internal services, which obviously are configured through very different mechanisms (ingress).

> And free governments also tend to have strong laws respecting the sovereignty of other nations

This nearly made me cough my lunch over my keyboard.

Countries tend to have the habit of respecting other countries sovereignty right up until they don’t, at which point they will invade and occupy the other. Or carry out a proxy war, etc.

Even that is too generous. Which country of any influence doesn’t at least a few spies getting about doing their spying. Which major players aren’t subverting the course of things in at least a handful of regions at any time.
I took it too something like ~20 years ago and am still surprised to reuse the concepts from the course. Guy rules and rocks those silk shirts.

> Your Facebook won't be as good while it relearns your preferences.

This is an excellent feature. I replaced Facebook time with Twitter time a while back and found it even more addicting (because the talent pool is much better and more real-time, and there's an extra sunk-cost fallacy going on with the amount of work required to find good content).

But even more recently, I've been purposefully logging out of Twitter a lot more (and have replaced that with YouTube). Logging back into Twitter now, I see that the "content" there feels less relevant and more boring. This is great for productivity. I just gotta curb the YouTube now - at least with that I can just shunt everything to "Watch Later".

Alright, time to log out of hacker news too.
This post is one of the many reasons I love HN. In depth discussion of obscure (but very interesting) topics; and the personal websites that host them.
Some of that may be a difference in focus. The L barely extends outside of the city proper, and a separate rail system almost exclusively serves the suburbs.

The division of responsibilities between the rapid transit and commuter rail systems in DC and the Bay Area is different in a way that might account for both the greater total system length and the lower ridership per mile compared to Chicago's system. Or Boston's T, for that matter.

I agree with you about housing but natural rights exist regardless of legal recognition. Rape, murder, genocide, and slavery are all wrong regardless what a bunch of people agree about.

That being said, I'm hard pressed to call desired housing density a natural right.
