Heh, is it hard to believe why I’ve gotten downvotes on this response? Lol. Anyhow, I’m not thinking of any particular religion or group of people in this case.

I think it’s all fuckery warped self interest from within the government as well. One can grow fat and happy with the billions that flow through defense.

But again, I believe that better tooling will have unforeseen positive and negative consequences. But I think it’s going to weigh more in the positives.
It's frankly pretty silly when people complain about prices (housing prices, prescription drug prices, gas prices, etc.)

The issue with housing prices is that there are a lot of government policies that have the (intentional or unintentional) effect of increasing housing prices. Some of them are as follows:

- Making mortgage interest tax deductible

- Special tax treatment for the sale of a primary residence

- Laws limiting how many people can cohabitate in one building, or similar laws that enforce this more softly through limits on street parking.

- Rent control laws which suppress the price of rental units, limiting the incentive for landlords to build new units.

- Laws that limit the construction (or add extra costs/requirements) to projects that would add more residential units.

- The utter failure of highway infrastructure during rush hour, which adds hours of commute time for short distance travel, drastically increasing the price of residences that do not require a highway commute.

- The failure of municipalities to provide adequate and affordable parking and public transit, adding inconvenience to many neighborhoods which drives up prices in others.

- The failure of law enforcement to create a safe environment in many neighborhoods that offer more affordable housing, leading to increased crime and under-investment in improving and expanding areas that would otherwise be highly desirable for residences.

- Laws that create building code requirements that are not based on sound engineering or safety principles but which create lucrative contracts for certain professions in the building trade... These increase the cost of new construction and make many retrofitting/repurposing projects impossible.

There are many, many more.
It does matter. Because there are many people who have access to the servers and they can cooperate with government agencies voluntarily or involuntarily.

For example, if you use "voice assistant" from some major company, what prevents it from voluntarily sharing all the records with the government for the sake of national security? What prevents its employee from secretly sharing the data under some legal obligations?

The location of the server is really important here.
Apple’s iMac is an excellent budget alternative to this approach, as long as fan noise under high load is acceptable. 99% of my usage is not under high load, so it works out to be silent effectively any time I’m not wearing headphones. Using the CPU and/or GPU and/or writing gigabytes to the SSD will wind up the fans, so this is not even remotely “always silent for power users” – but it’s always silent for general non-coder usage!
Yes, most people are somewhere in between. What's your point?
My favorite part of [good] boxing gyms is that anyone who comes in there expecting to do violence quickly gets paired with the most seasoned opponents who put them back in line. These violent types then either never show up again, or get the hint and start playing nice.

Personally I like boxing because there's something incredibly confidence building about knowing that you can handle getting punched in the face and keep going. Very empowering.

It's a lot less unpleasant than most people imagine.
Because places where you can buy a house for $75,000 have jobs that pay poorly. I can't afford a 3BD detached home in the city limits of Vancouver, but I sure could move to rural New Brunswick. If I wanted to be bored to death and suffer through the winters.

> it is a distraction from learning undergraduate mathematics

Arguably so is LaTeX. But it's desirable that students (or just people learning the same material, later) spend some of their undergraduate time learning new things, right? And not just because it's new, but hopefully because it's better. Learning new/different things is just a small step further beyond learning old things with new/different assistants. And maybe some things will have to be cut out, like 17th century prose-proofs (edit: and even just moving to structured proofs without full formal tools is an improvement...), or square roots by hand (http://www.theodoregray.com/BrainRot/)

Is this only when it’s plugged in? Could be a bad cable or charger. I had an iPhone 5 that had a super touch digitizer when plugged in, and I finally narrowed it down to cheap third party cables. Otherwise I think I would be doing a sit-in at the nearest Apple Store until they replaced it, that would drive me nuts.

A single great gray owl—known as the “phantom of the north”—now goes for 1 million kronor (about $120,000) on the dark web.

So, teach the Police in relevant areas how to breed Grey Owls and pretty soon the market value precludes owl theft and the species is no longer on the red list. I'll hand-wave the economics and feasibility at this point ...

OK, sillies apart, crime is here to stay and if you gradually exhaust one seam (mining analogy here) then you may cause another to become profitable - gradually. If you set fire to the seam then don't be too surprised if things change rapidly. On the bright side: journalists can publish articles about those rapid changes.

Also on the bright side: the article doesn't ramble, is informative and is an enjoyable read - a good example of a journo in great form.

Everyone I know hase gone through a "power-saving" phase at least once in their life, typically on the path towards buying a home. This is inherently a period of austerity for the individual, or, as the article describes, "great discomfort".

If you're going to be depriving yourself, you may as well do it where people are getting paid the most, and just live like an itinerant/vagabond while there. It's the high salaries and abundant opportunity that attracts all the well-paid housing seekers. Join them, just don't bother with the housing, and watch your savings blow up.

You'll probably learn a bunch about yourself and how to live simply in the process as well.
Moving itself is a cost, reduced but not eliminated if you are willing and able to abandon literally all your possessions and then live precariously at your destination while the move is sorted out.
nano is not a bad editor. It has a very straightforward learning curve but it is less featured and extensible.

Family ties are indeed extremely strong. However, here in Idaho we have lots of former Californians and it seems that it only takes one family member to make the "leap" to move up here, and before long (usually within 5 years) the other members start to see the benefit and move themselves.

My grandmother just moved here after living 80 years in CA. The family next door is 4 generations, each gradually moving up from CA.

The reason is the same: Family. But once someone made the leap, the others followed.

One of the most striking things I learned about the Rwandan genocide[1] was how many Tutsi simply refused to flee, even temporarily, even in the depths of the slaughter. Not because they wanted to make a stand or affirmatively resist, but seemingly out of some ineffable resistance to change. AFAICT, the same phenomenon has happened in every other genocide, not to mention other large scale disasters.

Economists can and should debate and quantitatively measure varying aspects of and reasons for the phenomenon. But from a high-level public policy perspective the reasons are largely irrelevant; there's simply no denying that on the whole most people by their nature are extremely averse to moving, even in the face of impending death. Any public policy predicated on intragenerational migration in response to run-of-the-mill structural economic dislocation is doomed to fail. Many people will follow straight-forward economic incentives. But a very large number won't, even to their extreme and readily foreseeable detriment. That makes failure inevitable.

Yes, just use a flat (i.e., no high fins) passive cooler on the CPU (this won't fit with stock parts), lay the motherboard flat and submerge about 1cm deep in a refrigerant boiling in the range (max room temp 5K) and (max healthy cpu temp -20K). Flourinert and Pentane are suitable, the former is really expensive and the latter as flammable as gasoline.
If you replace the cooler with a 1mm copper plate and use a pump to archive a flowspeed across the cooler between 5 and 20m/s, you can get crazy overclocking. You might get subzero clocks without any active refrigeration.
The benefit is that all your ancillary components are cooled too, and you have superior performance with a pumnp, and even performance without one.
Ensure some radiator with gravity-backflow gets the vapor, e.g. just use a central heating one above and ensure liquid can't pool in the piping, and that that is not too narrow.

...which is still a "USB sound card", no matter how you choose to look at it. It still needs to be a combined DAC and headphone amplifier in addition to being a set of 'phones.

Personally, I use an Audioquest Dragonfly USB DAC/headphone amp, which gives me the option to use either headphones (of my choosing) or speakers. (And unlike a larger "breakout box" USB sound card, it's quite portable, being about the same size and shape as USB thumb drives used to be.) It's a good fit for me, but if you need mic input, there are other devices - or you can still use the mic in of your regular sound card/integrated audio.

"And low-skilled jobs in a city like San Francisco pay some of the highest wages in the country; the minimum wage here is twice what it is in much of America, a real benefit that weighs against the high housing costs."
As a side note, over the weekend I a report that said housing sales have gone soft on the coasts. The reason given was the recent changes in the tax laws. Perhaps, if prices drop so might the cost of rentals?

It continues to amaze me how the (policy) talk is pro-affordable housing, but the walk is more wealth - of which property ownership is a great conduit - in few hands.
I'm not talking about every geographical location, I'm talking about their own home. Where they have lived for the past 5+ years. Where the vast majority of their waste products are disposed of. Where recycling food stained paper or plastic bags has never been allowed.
I'll definitely agree that it can get out of hand. If it's a script/tool that will have many eyes on it and people that need to understand it, bash tools probably aren't the best way to go. I usually turn to ruby in those cases. But even for one off commands, I find myself using pipes like that all the time and I'm the only one that will ever see it, so if it's greek it's no problem :-)

I wonder about this often, but not about in California

Based off this article about hookworm being alive and well in Southern Alabama. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/05/hookworm-low...

In the article, there is a woman without a sewage hookup paying $611 for her mortgage, and $300 for electricity.

In the city of Atlanta, and much less, some of the suburbs, paying $900 for a single wide's square footage for a house or apartment is entirely possible. This woman doesn't have much family that's not staying with her, etc.

The other logical frustration from this is that density solves a lot of problems. From cheaper insurance, heating/cooling up to 5 fewer walls, to shared sewer connections - an apartment solves a lot of problems compared to a trailer home.

I live near the beach in San Diego, where house prices are pretty damn high, so my wife and I still rent. On the weekends, we ride bikes or walk to the beach and hang out. It's how we like to live our lives.

I've been to a lot of areas in the country, and I simply don't want to live in them, regardless of price. I can walk outside in a t-shirt 365 days a year where I live and not die from exposure in a few minutes. I have no need to shovel snow. I am surrounded by mountains, the ocean, forests and desert are a few minute drives away.

Plus friends. And family. It's also nice living in a place that people want to visit, old friends pop in all the time simply because we live where people want to vacation.

I'm a recruiter.

Three anecdotes come to mind for this topic:

#1

I once sent out a coding test email to a candidate.

Not long after I got an email back from this candidate saying "Hey bro could you do this test for me please." or words to that effect.

Obviously mistakenly forwarded it back to me instead of to his bro who he wanted to do his coding test.

#2

I definitely got catfished but it was by another recruiter who was fishing to try to find out who my client/employer was - he was hoping I'd call the number so he could pretend to be a valid candidate and I would reveal the name of the employer. I took the issue to the job board that the resume came from, and they threatened to ban his company from advertising on their board. Never happened again as far as I know.

#3

I've got about 150,000 resumes in my candidate database. One thing I'd be interested to do is run some sort of duplicate text detecter over my candidate database.

I've definitely received resumes that duplicate text from other resumes.
Actually, yes, I absolutely would also have a sanitary issue with eating salad off of panties that had been used to hold raw meat that had merely been tossed in the wash. (Othersie, panties or other clothing are a strawman).

There was even an article about how many microbes remain in "clean" laundry on the HN front page recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17045777

As for my plates, those go in the dishwasher, which uses both a chlorinated detergent and boosts the water temperature to kill bacteria.

I'd surmise that such treatment of nylon or even cotton would reduce the lifespan of those bags. What's worse, I'd have to buy a significant number of them to make sure I had enough on hand for shopping and to run a full machine load when sanitizing them. Good thing that's just not going to happen.
As someone who lives in an uncool but vibrant metropolis, I think people from more well known coastal cities vastly underestimate how much... world there is out there.

I know many Californians would shudder at the prospect of moving to Houston, but it's actually a progressive, vibrant place with lots of cool stuff to do. Don't like Houston? That's fine. There's a hundred other cities to choose from.

What's that fallacy where you overestimate something's value because you paid a lot for it?
Do you read WikiTribune? I am always hoping to find better sources of news, but it doesn't appeal to me enough to try.
I can't tell the difference.
One thing that I can add, is that the process of neatly recording something really helps cement the process. My professor for dynamics and mechanics of materials required homework to include diagrams of the problem, neatly drawn, on unlined paper. Often I would find that each problem would take three sheets of paper (I'm a horrible draftsman), but I am horribly glad after the fact that I invested all that time.

It is painful, but I don't think there is any easy way of actually learning without just sitting down and doing problems. Have you considered auditing a course at a community college? Very few people (myself included) are motivated enough to work enough problems without the threat of assigned homework. You need to do enough problems on a topic that you are no longer struggling, then do 4-6 more. Those last problems are, IMO, the most important, they actually cement the concepts in long term memory.

As far as books, I can recommend Schaums Outlines for good examples of worked-through example problems.

Ask HN: How are these cars legal in SF?
I see these vehicles on SF roads everyday and wonder how they are allowed legally on the roads by DMV / City?

Here are some of the characteristics of these cars -

- Their brakes wear our every few months and don't work well

- There are no seat belts, air bags, no safety features whatsoever

- There are no rear lights and definitely no break lights

- When going uphill, these cars wobble 2 feet either way

- When going downhill, the brakes don't work

- They have a max speed of 15mph, which reduces to 5mph when going uphill

It annoys me that the city does not create dedicated lanes or any infrastructure, throws bike icons on roads meant for cars and calls itself bike friendly city.
I'll reply to everyone here when it's online, and will post a Show HN. Hopefully it will get some traction.

"They require Bash for scripts."

I do not write scripts to run with Bash. I write them to run with an Almquist-derived shell, which also means I can run them with Bash and other shells without any problems. However a script written in Bash may not run correctly under Almquist shell and other shells.
I think this is a standard technique for fast-food businesses, although I've never heard it mentioned. Run some flashy ad campaign for low-priced good food for a few months. Leave the low prices in place for about a year. Then slowly, slowly ratchet up your prices. After 8-10 years of this, your only remaining customers have very little price sensitivity, but at some point along the way you soaked every single customer as hard as you could. If you need to raise revenue now that you've chased away lots of customers, start over from the beginning.

I guess someone at Arby's didn't get the "start over" memo...
That approach would not be very different from surrounding it with sound insulation, and would involve the same challenges. Things that conduct heat out tend to conduct sound out too.
