> YIMBYs are supremely confident in its diagnosis of the complex housing problem: it's rent control and other impediments to the free market

YIMBYs do not have a position on rent control, because both sides are advocated for and debated.

The biggest problem with the YIMBY movement is people blindly accepting criticisms of YIMBY without bothering to investigate what YIMBY movements actually believe.

When there was a big panel discussion in my small Bay Area town last year, without a YIMBY member on the panel, the panel all concluded that YIMBYs oppose affordable housing. However, in this small town, the ONLY PEOPLE WHO SHOWED UP to advocate for recent affordable housing projects were YIMBY members. And it turns out that SB 35, the only YIMBY legislation I know about, is actually about building affordable housing.

So please stop reinforcing false beliefs.

YIMBYs do a great job of listening. They have changed their engagement in response to this. They are politically naive in that they believe they can advocate for ideas and trust that people will listen to them, instead of seeking out engagement of current power brokers first. And for example they didn't expect SB 827 to get the momentum that it got, perhaps not realizing that including transportation and basic good urban planning they will wake up a lot more people than with they did with the SB 35 affordable housing bill.

California politics is all about optics, unfortunately. At least, it is, until we stop letting that happen.
From what I understood theaters weren’t exactly raking in massive piles of cash on ticket sales, and really only made money on concessions. So is there really much wiggle room to negotiate ticket prices with theaters?
No. The percentage of flights with air marshals is in the low single digits.
Does research count? For hard problems that I'm not sure how to answer I usually start by looking for any existing tool/framework/technique/blog post/paper that has solved a similar problem. I put copy what I find into Evernote, then, when applicable I sketch out a few different flow diagrams / schema diagrams / etc. to get a handle on how the pieces of my solution fit together.

If something is really complex / important / hard to change later, then I'll usually stop after the research phase and allow my unconscious mind to chew away on the solution, most commonly for me the 'Aha moment' comes during my morning workout. When I'm really stuck I re-read all my collected material, search for prior art again and repeat the process. Sometimes time forces me to just start building, although those are the times when I typically end up refactoring later.

I definitely agree that time away from the problem to reflect leads to a better solution, but IMHO you have to have a really great problem statement and good context for the subconscious to do its best work.
All of those things are default settings that I haven't gotten to either from time available or just not knowing the ins and outs of the software.

All of those items are in my todo list now!
Well, the correct name is, of course, "PDA".
Read about what happened with Bret Weinstein (the aforementioned professor).

Consider why so many comedians (e.g., Jerry Seinfeld) are no longer performing at colleges. They say it's become unbearable. That's a big clue that free speech is not welcome.

Look at how guest lecturers and ideas are getting shut down. University used to be the bastion of free speech and ideas, but that is increasingly under threat. Just watch what happened at this lecture at Queen's University to see an example how bad it's getting: https://youtu.be/MwdYpMS8s28?t=9m44s

Distinguished professors trying to have a well reasoned and peaceful discussion with students. And that wasn't just disrupted, the doors were barricaded and people were pounding on the windows (breaking at least one) throughout the remainder of the event. Outside it was even yelled "Lock em in and burn it down". Seriously, watch the whole thing (followed by footage of what happened outside) and I think you'll be taken aback.

These are not cases of shitty things being called out, it goes way beyond that.
The TSA is useless, but to be fair:

> I'm just saying that we shouldn't ignore the stuff that only total idiots would fall for since history has shown that the opposing team is made up of total idiots.

We do in fact have morons trying to blow up their shoes, and it's not like politicians get anything else right.
I have trouble picturing what advantage that setup would give over using ESM or node modules.

The Function constructor is a better alternative for eval(), but still only as a last resort. eval() itself has no use cases.

I find that most JS criticism is ill-informed, because people are too quick to jump to blaming the language due to its reputation. Not that I'd call JS a great language, but it has redeeming aspects.
PuTTY is a real window, not that /subystem:console garbage that you can barely cut&paste from. Granted the console has gotten better in Windows 10, but still not nearly as good as a real window like PuTTY gives you. I'll probably keep using PuTTY for this reason.
But for English speakers it seems childish which also reinforces some of the stereotypes of European attitudes to tech.
Google refused to provide the businesses' names to Axios (even with a guarantee not to publicly identify them), and refused to answer whether the calls were edited.

If the calls were real, I wonder how many recordings did it take to get these perfect examples? How many times were the appointments scheduled correctly, and how many failed?

But this was just a flashy demonstration to drum up excitement over the Google brand. Until they write up a paper or release it as a product, we're unlikely to know how well it really works.
That’s a really big leap from what is reasonable in this case. The Steve’s at this time were actually just two guys in a garage looking for a deal on printing. If I owned a advertising, marketing, and printing company I doubt I would have looked at those two and said “Ah ha! Geniuses! I shall definitely believe they need a lot layout and marketing work done. I should give them a discount. And he’s not unreasonable he’s just eccentric and excited. How reasonable.”

He was young, had a relatively crazy idea, no sales or customers, and no money. And a humongous personality and ego. If anything I can’t imagine describing him any other way to a coworker.
I'm not sure, but I suspect it's because it has the most liquidity (trading pairs, trading volume) after bitcoin, and much lower transaction fees.

Another factor could be that lot of people already have Ethereum accounts, and ETH, given it is the most widely used cryptocurrency by daily transaction count. Many people have an Ethereum wallet just to be able to buy and hold ERC20 tokens.
Most of our revenue comes from proxies, customers range from SV startups to individual “SEO” people.

Other Western nations also don't allow everyone to go to college and aggressively track students into vocational programs at an early age. Not saying that's bad, per se, but implementing that approach in the US would create new and different uncomfortable trade-offs.
just to make all art history courses in the US artificially limit the number of students they take in to match the actual demand.

Why? Surely part of the 'charm' of University is to get chance to study thing you know nothing about just to see if that happens to be your thing, plus studying things just because you enjoy it.

Sure we probably shouldn't encourage too many people to get art history degrees, but why not let people take some art history courses just because they find the topic fascinating?
I'm always surprised .internal never took off. x.home.arpa doesn't quite sound right for the office lan.
I think its more important for the body parts that are there to move correctly than to have them visible and not match. I remember trying a vive game that had arms but sometimes they would contort into impossible poses and it was extremely jarring.

Having spent many hours in both vive and rift, while I prefer vive in general, the visible hands on the touch controllers on rift is just fantastic.
>All I can collect from your comment is that what defines West is capitalist economy (which is not a bad thing per se) and a vague self referential form of identity that blends money and religion.

Well, we've mentioned Economy, religion, culture -- what else do you think should have been included and is missing?

It's like saying all that defines a chair is shape, size and its use (for sitting).
Retirement ponzi structure won't hold.
Exactly. If you think about it, most species reproduce when resources are abundant, and stop reproducing when resources become scarce. That's basically what is happening to young people here.

While I'd like to, since I haven't gotten into the nitty-gritty, I don't want to name and shame based on presumptions, even if I have an isolated data point that supports them.

I would just say to be careful whose devices you use. Do your research and understand that you're implicating not just your privacy, but your physical security, when you put remotely-controllable locks, blinds, etc., in your home. That's a position of high trust, and most home automation providers (possibly including Nest, but they're by no means the worst) aren't worthy of it.
You can only forcibly migrate the edge protocol. There will still be competition for small ethernet frames to execute against geo arbitrage opportunities.

What you'll (likely) see is internal networks on V4 and V4->V6 translation switches at the edge so you only pay the 16ns cost on ingress/egress.
You can try to stop it, but that never works in the long run. Ever.

If there's going to be a social element, it will be exploited to the game's level of popularity.

That isn't to say a game can't remain closed and private with a simplistic model, just that popularity will generally weaken whatever community aspects made it great early on.
Restrain the restraints: The case against non-compete clauses
I was envisioning a little village of houses with trains, but peeking from the satellites, it looks like one fork and only one guesthouse has rail service (Familie Siefert - Hallig Nordstrandischmoor). There seem to be a couple of guesthouses, a "Glockenturm" which is a school/church servicing three students, and one private house on the island.
We can change our economic structures. We can't change the fact that exponential growth is unsustainable. So this way at least there is hope.
I am fascinated by the specificity of this con. Extreme travel? Plastics?
I guess it’s the specificity that makes it believable - I’ve recently met a sociopath (if that’s the label for it) who fabricated lies with such detail that no one doubted her. We got pretty close as “friends” and though her affect was a bit off, and drama seemed to happen around her, no one really suspected anything. Later on we discovered she just liked hanging out with guys and she would basically bait them emotionally and they would either beg her or pay her money for sex. Which to me seemed to be a very niche goal, hanging a network of guys who were desperate to be with her.

I don’t know why it didn’t work on me, maybe in my younger years it would have, or maybe because I had slight seniority over her at work so I never made a “move.” She was just a highly intelligent girl who I hung out with after work sometimes, taking long walks.

So yeah, the “day of revelations” as various corroborators got together in the article’s story really brought back memories. I’m thankful I was lucky enough to not get hurt.
Wow, that's very stoned-college-freshman level sociotechnological commentary.

You must think very highly of yourself for not being one of those stupid Sheeple who don't have anything productive to do with a phone than be tracked and play Farmville.
Then why is Germany, Sweden, Spain, Japan, Finland etc significantly below the US?
Right in that bucket and don't think I'll ever afford being able to rear a child from a financial position of "comfort". Savings to the hilt but it's a cash flow problem.

I also don't want to leave my wife and I without a child but all I envision are bars of my own making.

For comment/discussion.

Not a "recommendation", nor a positive/negative opinion.

Believe it has never been discussed on HN before.
For the time being, immigration is still causing the millennial generation to increase and is the reason why US population continues to grow. So for at least the US the result is that we may not face the same problems as other developed countries or the problem of an aging population may be reduced.

It will cause the US to continue to be a nation of immigrants and the resentment that may cause.

If the image is a single keyframe of the video, the remaining frames have an empty delta and shouldn't take much (if any) space.
Thank you. A remarkably clear youtube video. I wonder what kind of camera/lens was used.
It's a problem because market systems commonly fail at correctly gauging externalities without enforced regulation or taxation to properly tune the market to more effectively balance short term gains against long term/big picture (planetary) losses.

Something like Carbon taxes, for instance, might help the market hit a better long-term equilibrium for uses of electricity that takes long-term problems like climate change into better account.
As half of a thirty somethings couple that wants children but can’t afford the financial implications in the Bay Area, it seems pretty clear to me why fertility is down.
Correct. The question is "do you believe in a higher power y/n?" not "give us details on what you think of said higher power".

In ceremony/ritual we refer generally to "The Grand Architect of the Universe", instead of any specific diety.

BTW, Freemasonry is NOT intended to be a religion nor a replacement for one, and we don't want to be. We just use symbols and allegory that relate to the story of the building of King Solomon's Temple.

I have been using youtube music for a few months (I pay for Youtube Red). I don’t understand what the announcement is about, is there anything new?
Haskell standard library mostly use haskell and NOT C or C--. If you use C to implement your language any small language in C can strongly impact yours, nobody wants that. By the way the purpose of C-- is the GHC(because you don't want to be tightly coupled with C).

All variables in make which are not target-specific, are global. That 100 % non functionnal.

> And even then, make is mostly declarative.
The docker API is declarative but the reality is not, so everybody somehow use docker shell to do dirty stuff.

Uhh, Verge is currently being used for payments for online services, subscriptions, and ad-buys. They have a debit card coming out backed by a major bank. That's legal.
The two things I've missed without a smartphone is maps and the ability to find phone numbers and addresses of businesses on the fly. Other than that, there's no substantial reason to carry a smartphone. It's funny how much R&D was used up to build what essentially is a digital phone book.
There are also military ramifications. If we get into a big skirmish with China, they will overwhelm us with soldiers and high-volume weapon manufacturing capability.
It's the opposite with humans. 3rd world/developing countries have extremely high birth rates. The best mechanism for "population control" in people is to improve a population's standard of living.
That’s interesting. I wonder if it would help to show a couple more certificate fields alongside the authentic-sounding name, or if it would all just be equally ignored.

In general, the richer someone is, the less likely they are to have as many children. See https://www.economist.com/node/21561112.
Historically, children generated profit. These days, in developed countries, children are expensive. They cost money and time (e.g., years that you would otherwise spend going to school, building a career).

I think much of Twitter's success is owed to third-party developers, and now, despite a period of time where they seemed to change course, they're back to throwing them under the bus.

I wouldn't mind moving to something like Mastodon, but even the most populated instance is a fraction of Twitter, and without critical mass moving somewhere else, I feel stuck. Then again, Twitter isn't a crucial need for me either, so I could close my account without much pain, other than being disconnected from people whose work I genuinely like to follow
I think the difference here would be that Angel's List and SEC rules in general provide/create/act-as gatekeepers for investment and thus can better filter outright fraud (note: not fake it till you make it "fraud") and limit investment to those who can afford to lose money. ICOs are circumventing that and allowing outright fleecing of small time investors on an unheard of scale and velocity. Obviously a snake oil salesmen is nothing new and you would only have to watch American Greed to see small time investors getting fleeced well before ICO's ever existed.
Also, maybe consider pinning a bug reporting/code thread in the software development section.
Really? That's strange. Show me another financial asset that has grown 686% this year.
>Student loans, housing costs, job prospects, healthcare, childcare. People are making a rational decision to avoid children they can’t afford.

Well, people in the US made way more children when they made very few money, and lived 10 together in tiny houses and apartments.

And they still do in the developing world.

So it can't be just costs.
I just can't understand the choice to kill Google Play Music. Not only is it fantastic, it integrates perfectly into Google Home. Subscribing to Google Play Music also got you Youtube Red. If they want to charge $2 more for Youtube Premium, fine, whatever, but don't kill Google Play Music.

You need time to ponder, to explore, to be curious.

Ok, but you should do that on your own dime, not someone else's. And when you end up with student debt, you shouldn't complain because you go to "ponder, explore and be curious".
I don't take it daily, but obviously there's been an ongoing battle between bacteria and phages for millions of years, it is unlikely they'd be selected for too strongly in my gut (assuming the targeted species are even present at any given time).
This is something that seems to happen in most countries when they reach a certain stage of development (see Japan, Korea).

I think it related to the general availability of contraception and that the work involved in caring for children has increased, while the number of carers has decreased.

The trend toward migration means grandparents are often not nearby to help care for kids. This coupled with the fact that in most cases both parents need to work increases the difficulty in raising kids dramatically.

I’ve also noticed that, while grandparents are not around to help, fathers often still don’t involve themselves in childcare.

All this coupled with how expensive kids are means that if you can satisfy yourself with one child, people often do. Enough that it depresses the birth rate significantly in any case.

Reading your post gave me a greater empathy for the frustrations that our education system inflicts by not getting into specifics about how to develop a realistic structure and plan for life that is flexible but has an age appropriate level of detail.

Just the exercise would be useful, but even more so some feedback. But then that raises the question, who is equipped to give that feedback? Should an educator tell someone else's kid that maybe they need a backup plan in case the astronaut thing doesn't pan out?

When I was young my father stuck me in front of a publication from the bureau of labor statistics that gave the long term outlook for every occupation they track. It was really great advice that every kid should see (they also ought to make a more kid friendly version, it can be very dry). The big picture stuff was pretty spot on, and it lets you know some hard truths like some jobs will require living in a major city, food service has plenty of openings available but low pay, that kind of thing. It helps you get realistic, even for dream-type jobs like actor or astronaut.
In their zeal to make us all live in the 1950s socially, the GOP have created a nightmare situation, whereby the large businesses lobby them to make changes in their favor thus creating pollutions, that in turn destroys the sperm count of young males, so theres less children to teach about creationism.

Ya have to laugh!

>Ultimately I think there are a lot of industries that a degree requirement is a good thing (I really want my doctor to actually have an MD), a lot of industries where certification is sufficient .

Why only Doctors? Because human lives are involved? I assume by the same logic, Civil Engineers also need to have a degree (they build bridges and other life critical infrastructure)

There may be thousands of software products that are also life critical. Not just the obvious ones like some medical hardware control program/firmware, Air traffic control programs, Flight onboard software Self-driving car auto-pilot software etc. So I assume those would require a qualified software engineer with a degree.

But there may even be others that may not be so obvious immediately.

I have a degree and not been on the other side (not having a degree) and so cannot identify with any injustice that is perceived by folks on other side. I can certainly see somewhat equivalent when it comes to bachelors degree vs Masters/PHD as I don't have those. So I am not sure where the lines should be drawn to make it fair to everyone.
Okay, then why not pay a bunch of people to stand around and wave people through sham "detectors" we are told can detect weapons/explosives/etc. on our persons/in our luggage, but in reality do no such thing? Why do we have to take off our shoes and put our laptops in separate bins by themselves? The added inconvenience is way greater than even the perception of safety.
People working just by sheer discipline tend to produce mediocre work. The best results come from people who are passionate about what they do.
They appear to be a research firm specializing in reporting on companies to which they own short positions.

If you go to read their articles at http://www.aureliusvalue.com/ you are immediately presented with a TOS that basically says as much. The TOS also makes some disclaimers that looks to be aimed at reducing the risk of them being held liable for spreading false/harmful information.

So given all this, It is only prudent to be skeptical.
