I think other (more modern?) systems solve that by requesting the first few seconds after a channel switch via unicast in parallel to the join request, to cover up the time until the join is completed. I discovered this when I swapped my ISP router for a Linux box and didn't forward igmp. When turning on the TV I saw a frozen image. After switching the channel I got about 4 seconds of TV and then freeze again. Some wiresharking hinted me at the igmp and multicast I forgot to properly handle, and after setting it all up I saw a couple of seconds of unicast UDP data after every channel switch.

This is very HN-centric thinking (rational but not scalable). People move to Silicon Valley to "move to Silicon Valley". They're chasing a dream and they want to be in the thick of it.

Sure you might find a couple good job opportunities in Nashville or Tampa, but its hard to compare that to being in the thick of tech industry where you're right in the middle of the world's top companies, surrounded by lots of talent to push you further.
Plenty of YIMBYs are fine with "do both!": more market rate housing supply, and more subsidized housing for those who can't afford the former. The more of the former you produce, the more you can concentrate the latter on the truly needy, and not people like teachers, firefighters and so on who have good jobs that are important to society.
That also deflates your next round of equity offerings. Tesla will likely need to offer 10-million or maybe more shares to the market. Lowering your stock price before you offer equity is incredibly stupid.

Unless Musk has a plan to get money from somewhere else?
Oh god I upvoted this for false fix and then saw public housing and strict regulation. Christ.
"All told, the nuclear reactors in the U.S. produce more than 2,000 metric tons of radioactive waste a year..." (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/nuclear-waste-let...)

Let's call it $20,000 / lb to orbit (http://www.businessinsider.com/spacex-rocket-cargo-price-by-...) and say double that for the "disappear into the distance" part.

That gives us $160B to loft the US's nuclear waste for one year into not-my-problem-ness.

That doesn't sound unreasonable, right?

P.S. Don't drop it.
>You got the wrong idea. I don't think anyone idolizes Tony.

If you'd like I can provide a short list of rap songs about selling drugs which contain lyrics positively representing scarface/Tony. People idolize him. He's a self made man who took what he wanted. He's betrayed in the end, but plenty of people look at that as the actions of outside actors and not the consequences of his behavior. I'm not going to go into possible alternative analysis for Tony's character/the events of the movie in which he's a heroic figure betrayed by Sosa and the government (which can also be viewed as a bad guy in drug culture), but it's there.

TL;dr- There are people who aspire to be Tony, understanding full well that Heavy Weighs the Crown.
There's a lot being claimed here that seems to go directly against my experience, I'll focus on what is easily verifiable:

>"(even Easterbrook's big '91 paper on publication bias found that it was for observational and lab studies, but couldn't identify bias in RCT publication.)"

I'm not familiar with the Easterbook 1991 paper but that is a pretty strange thing to claim since it is even one of those criticisms that academia has managed to turn into it's own area of study. It didn't look closely at any of these papers but just for example:

>"we review and summarise the evidence from cohort studies that have assessed study publication bias or outcome reporting bias in randomised controlled trials.
[...]
Direct empirical evidence for the existence of study publication bias and outcome reporting bias is shown. There is strong evidence of an association between significant results and publication; studies that report positive or significant results are more likely to be published and outcomes that are statistically significant have higher odds of being fully reported.

That’s a ridiculous comparison. I’m certain that the rate of housing construction in Turlock has little/nothing to do with statewide housing medians.

Obviously, the vast majority of those California permits are going into the major cities, which are the places that have the geographic constraints.

If you want to make the comparison, do it on a properly normalized basis.
if your interest is getting the most money, it sounds like portfolio building could be a good use of time in the short-term. for instance... if your current portfolio is worth a 50k/yr remote job, and you improved your portfolio making ability (say, with a redesign or a retelling of your work history, etc...) for the next 4 weeks, and got a job offer for 75k/year... then you would have increased your take by 50% in 4 weeks.

if you don't think your current portfolio could/should be improved, then I would suggest that you look at the companies you're interested in working for and understand the sorts of work they need a remote developer for... and target that skillset.

alternatively, start your own thing on the side... do it for 2 years while doing a remote job that you can handle with 75% attention.

good luck.
Tesla doesn't make the batteries, Panasonic, Samsung and Hitachi does. IIRC, Panasonic is the firm building batteries at Tesla's new gigafactory facility. Tesla simply slaps their name on the battery packs.
I didn't say about data processing, but data gathering. What I meant about stop using account is that they won't send you any new notifications, won't show you as a possible friend for other registering people etc. By data gathering I meant that they won't track you anymore, like if you exit facebook, they should still adding info about you through all the like buttons etc.

> Next to that: allow users to delete their data when they close their account (this should be as easy as setting cascade on foreign key constraints).

That is definitely not easy and doesn't work like that. That's why it's common practice in any serious system to have 'deleted' flag instead of actual deleting.

> It is only if you are actively trying to target your goods or services to the European market that they will enforce against you.

Yes, and if you target whole world like most sites in the internet do, you're targeting Europe?
There are lots of terrible meeting formats. There’s the “everyone talk about what they are not doing because they’re meeting to talk about it” aka Daily Standup. There’s the Bug Beatings, where 50 people gather to go through 200 open bugs, each one where 1 (different) person talks and the remaining 49 work on their laptops. There’s my least favorite: I call it “Executive Storytime” where multiple people put together a status update for a big-shot, and instead of big-shot reading it himself, we project it and read it to him. This is ok when the format is meant to be interactive but if it’s just a readout—yukk. Then there’s the Agendaless Sync, where the same people get together weekly because they always get together weekly and just talk about whatever. Ugggghh.
To be fair, it's neck and neck with # of transactions per day.
Good point / example!
The underlying motivation for NIMBY is that people who own houses want their value to go up, and for their neighborhood to be too expensive for poor people so that their public schools will be well-funded and full of other upwardly mobile kids, and for their streets and parks not to be crowded.

It's a perfectly rational set of motivations. It's the same reason people move to nicer neighborhoods in the first place. With limited development over period of time you get the benefits of living in a more expensive neighborhood, without having paid the premium for it.

These arguments don't play well in public, especially in a socially progressive city like SF, so the rhetoric gets confusing. NIMBY groups sometimes float arguments such as: building more housing will make neighborhoods less affordable.

Some well-meaning progressive people who don't understand supply and demand are fooled by such arguments, and support NIMBY policies too, so it's not just homeowners. In the end, most people don't know what to think, and gravitate to the status-quo (ie, limited development.)
Those keycaps are gorgeous. If someone could manage to get those manufactured I guarantee they would fetch upwards of $150/set on a site like massdrop.

You can't just shackle them up and put them on a train though. Plenty of people don't want to live in Detroit, and have other opportunities in the Bay Area or elsewhere. Perhaps they prefer the climate in CA, or perhaps they want to be someplace where there are plenty of other opportunities if the one job doesn't work out.
Better yet, this iteratively deepening list of land-lake layers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_island#Islands_within_lak...

This culminates in:

island at 66.687°N 70.479°W, situated within Nettilling Lake
on Baffin Island, Canada.`
Exactly my thought. Mammals without opposable thumbs or well-developed cerebella can cross large bodies of water, clinging to floating material. I don't see why a group of hungry and adventurous proto-humans didn't cross a channel from one island to another. No boat needed. The miracle is that rhino got there. How well can rhinos swim?
so your position is that neighbors should have defacto veto rights over their direct neighbor's property?

Also, do you count someone who is a tenant and not a land owner as "someone" in your diatribe above?
If these policies disproportionally hurt non-white people it should be (relatively) straightforward to get them overturned under the Civil Rights Act.

Is anyone pursuing that?
Sure but this is a great example of why you'd want to push back against increasing density. Surely your life is better with the pool and space. Why encourage growing the population of the city? Its not like there aren't lots of other places in the US to live.
Except "edgy" people view some bastardization of nihilism as a cool thing to aspire to. To this end they view Patrick as an ideal character. Powerful (at least more so than Steven nobody), and the psychopath concept intrigues them because it separates a person from their emotions, which for many people seem like an improvement, as not feeling would hurt less.

These films of destructive and unhealthy people are usually aspired to because even when the characters hit their rock bottom, they still have more money, power, control, and agency than the average viewer.

Something that's often left out in the discussion of nuclear because it's not an issue yet, is that nuclear fissile materials are also rare. If nuclear became the standard for energy production, the rarity of these materials would, in the longrun, end up creating more stupid games similar to what we play with fossil fuels today.

One operation to shuffle a deck of cards is to cut it creating a random offset.

So, I have seen someone just move the top few cards when asked to shuffle the deck. This makes a small offset more likely than you might assume. Remember the odds should be evenly spread across 52! which means in all of human history each deck should be unique, but in practice people have played with a default deck.

Apple buying Tesla would be a gigantic waste of money. Ben Thompson has explained why in a couple good Stratechery posts, but the tl;dr is, a large percentage of Tesla's valuation is goodwill (its reputation and "coolness factor"), and Apple already has plenty of that, so all the money Apple spent for that piece of Tesla's value would be pure waste. And that's before you get into the fact that huge acquisitions, where the acquired company is in a totally different sector than the buyer, almost never work.
Nice work!

I was kinda expecting someone to showcase JavaFx/TornadoFx, after the daily parade of electron/JS based apps.

> it is significantly lighter on resources and more responsive than the Electron-based options

I tend to agree that this is lightweight than Electron etc, but are there any benchmarks to verify the actual numbers?

One the side note, it's funny so see Java being touted as a `lightweight` alternative to desktop apps. Desktop technology has come a full circle.
I have to disagree with this statement. Tech workers may feel the guilt, but many of the YIMBYs have no care in the world for the people they may be displacing, are in favor of removing rent control because it would then give poorer residents the skin in the game needed for them to demand more housing.

I can go on and on about this. Yes NIMBYism is a problem, but this goes well beyond the more market rate housing debate, people being against public transit improvements, housing for the homeless, and clinic for drug addicts are ones that come to mind.

> reducing both property crimes and violence against people

Neither of those ideas is supported by research.

http://criminology.oxfordre.com/view/10.1093/acrefore/978019...

"However, quantitative research has consistently shown that being foreign born is [...] not significantly associated with committing either violent or property crime. If an undocumented immigrant is arrested for a criminal offense, it tends to be for a misdemeanor. Researchers suggest that undocumented immigrants may be less likely to engage in serious criminal offending behavior because they seek to earn money and not to draw attention to themselves."

My bank lies to me all the time. I deposit a cheque, and it puts the funds in my bank. Once it decided I was trustworthy, it even let me spend the money right away.

It turns out, though, that it might take _weeks_ for the cheque to clear, and they reserve the right to reverse the deposit and ding me for an NSF fee at any time.

Musk's "job" is not fixing technical issues, he has thousands of more competent people for that. His day-to-day job is marketing and making sure his firm gets capital when it runs out yet again. This is him failing at his day job.

Wow. That's the best thing I've read this year!
Apple is using the same commodity DRAM chips as everyone else. I doubt they are immune.
You seem to think, and Musk seems to represent, that for most investors, investment is about ensuring each investment, in a vacuum, carries zero risk.

Which is not true. Investors want to know about the risks, in detail, because then they can make informed choices. Maybe they'll adjust how much they invest, or look for offsetting investments (other companies or financial instruments that would go up if Tesla goes down), or do any of dozens of other things. But they can't do that if they don't get accurate information about the company, which is what Musk is supposed to provide.

Being bombastic and arrogant instead of providing accurate information might be good PR in certain circles (like HN), but Musk has, well, literally any other venue he's ever spoken in as a place to be bombastic and arrogant. This is the venue where he's supposed to be actually honest with investors, not the venue to be fake-honest through statements like "not everyone should invest in this" (gee, Elon, that's never been true of any other company in history... oh wait).

Google may be marginally better at updating their own devices, but they regularly suggest Play Protect as how to stay safe from malware, a piece of software that ranks dead last (literally zero stars) for detection rate on AV-TEST[1]. It's the sort of "here's a green check mark, just trust us" security approach that has carried McAfee for decades.

I was hoping we'd hear some changes with the new security lead at Android, but so far its been more of the same.

I just checked and I was on v9 from 8 years ago on my work pc. Why bother fixing security bugs etc if you're not going to roll them out? With other Windows software I get told about updates when I load them (winscp, Virtualbox) or they check and update themselves (Firefox).

The release today is just a start. We are looking at supporting additional languages and toolchains. Future releases/community contributions should also bring richer POSIX support.

As to refactoring--it is really up to the developer. With sufficient POSIX support, an entire POSIX-compliant app can live inside an enclave. On the other hand, for security reasons, the developer may decide to refactor their application.
Wasn't really by chance; people put in a concerted effort to find it.
Yep, I used to do club promotion and DJ, and yeah, that's all very familiar. I started out as one of those ass-kissing hangers on, moved up to the point where I was playing fairly big gigs and knew important people, and suddenly people were kissing my ass, instead. It's a weird thing where the more successful you are, the more people are just willing to do stuff for you for free. There are a lot of people who have very little talent or very little to say, who nevertheless want to be heard, and a surprising amount of the entertainment industry is dedicated to taking money and time from them.

The difference between successful artists and wannabe's is vast. I once opened for one of the most popular djs in the world. He got paid something like $30,000. I got paid $200. For a gig that I bought $350 worth of records to play. And I'd have happily _paid_ for someone to give me that gig.

FOMO is a trap. You're looking for a needle in a haystack, but instead you should let someone else bring the needle to you.

If something is worth your time, someone you know and trust will bring it up to you. The more people you talk to and interact with, the more likely you are to be offered up information that is actually significant to you. It is also more likely to have a real impact because human interaction is more "sticky" than a simple website post.

What you're doing now is akin to throwing a Bubble sort at the problem. It's slow, inefficient and a waste of time.
It’s a perfectly well-defined integer function, and yet once you fix the axioms of mathematics, only finitely many values of the function can ever be proved, even in principle.

Statements like this make me suspicious that one day we will redefine the axioms of mathematics so that such a function is no longer considered “perfectly well-designed”. Just feels like it will lead to paradox, like the set of all sets which do not contain themselves. I am not a professional mathematician though ;-)
I'm not saying everyone would need to move, but if you polled your work force, and asked them if they wanted to start a new office in a new city, who would be interested in moving to which cities from a list. I'm sure you'd find enough people to start a new engineering office with at least one team.

From there you can grow. This is sort of the logic I'm going by here.
Thanks for taking a leadership role on this while so many others refuse to.

Larry, Sergey, Mark, Marc, Marc, and Larry all should be actively helping these efforts to make housing more affordable to their employees and those of the companies that they invest in. And they all can afford a similar contribution far more easily than you and Stripe can.
Dude wrote his own language which compiles to an intermediate language, then Turing machines.

What would you expect to be different about a Discourse instance versus an SO instance?

I'd imagine they'd be almost exactly the same. Users post questions, other users (or the same user) posts an answer. The SO format isn't that different. And Discourse search probably works better currently anyways.

As others have mentioned in this thread, the SO-specific features seem least useful for small teams or really any organization that's not a bunch of random Internet people.
