As someone who also grew up in the suburbs of DC, I can tell you that the anxiety was explicitly around Latino families moving in--not just poor ones.

I'm honestly baffled that anytime someone on HN brings up racism in the US it's immediately countered with: "It's about class, not race." There's ample history in Jim Crow laws that white Americans discriminated explicitly by race. Specific to the region mentioned by the grandparent, Washington, DC, like much of the South, had racial covenants that made it illegal for African Americans to live in much of the city.

Of course there has been, and continues to be, very real discrimination by class. But we know that legal discrimination by race in the US existed well into living memory. Why would we immediately assume that it has stopped?

I assume the answer is no, but sweeping for listening devices is different than ignoring a listening device which is clearly sitting right in front of you.

Isn't the most direct analogy: a stolen car refuses to start? But I would still download a car if I could.

side note:
What does flamethrower mean in this case?
Some potentially totally legitimate car modifications (e.g., two-step launch control) have the side effect of dumping unburnt fuel into the exhaust, creating a "flamethrower" effect. Not sure if two-step violates noise or "flamethrower" laws first though ;).
> Guests can also reserve tickets in advance.

This is a big plus over MoviePass.

At my local theater, all the good seats are sold out days in advance so MoviePass is useless until a week after the movie's launch.

I'm not Cloudflare, so I can't answer what they meant. Maybe eastdakota around here can, he wrote the blog post stating it.

That's why it was so newsworthy when Greenspan went on the record of being completely flummoxxed about the global financial system crisis back in the late 2000s.

> MoviePass’s business model is controversial. ... It believes that the data it collects on consumer behavior will be so powerful that it will find alternative ways to make money.

They also shakedown local theaters. This happened right near me. They told the theater that they want 50% of the concessions sales. The theater said no, so Moviepass stopped supporting that theater. The theater lost so many concession sales from Moviepass customers going elsewhere that they relented and agreed to their 50% commission.
>It would be interesting to know if this employee was also shorting Tesla stock at the same time he was leaking these allegations.

I'm skeptical that some individual blue-collar worker would risk his financial well-being and possibly freedom to make a few thousand dollars from possibly causing financial harm to Tesla and causing the stock to drop some. Seems like a stretch to me. If the suit is as alleged (passing false information to journalists) he's an attention seeking low-life.

What is with the obsession with "shorts"? I've never seen so much over-reaction to short selling in my life.

Every major religion has some kind of meditative tradition, but the vast majority of people in all religions don't perform "meditation" in the Western sense. Even Buddhists, the vast majority do NOT practice meditation, it's only certain sub-groups that have developed various kinds of meditation practices that are commonly used in the West today. We think, for instance, of insight meditation, loving-kindness, body-scanning, and such techniques in the West.

To study these in India, Vietnam, Nepal, or elsewhere, you'd likely receive a lot of learning from the reading of texts, ancient or more recent, which is not as widely received by Westerners in today's meditation craze. Go to the Apple Store, you'll see over a dozen meditation apps, though I doubt any would explain jhana or the four-noble truths of Buddhism. Yet, here or abroad, most people will not know those ancient texts or the techniques you've been practicing for months on end.

Don't think of dealing with your ego nor should you worry about being right or wrong when something comes up regarding your ego when meditating. Also, when meditating, you overcome mental/emotional blockages which naturally makes you energetic. Don't get attached to conclusions and stay calm after you experience a mental shift.

You are getting downvoted ... one wonders what those people think. On the first sight you would think that those people would not want Trump to get elected (or re-elected).

But is doing that downvoting likely to increase or decrease the chances of votes for Trump ? I'm pretty sure it's increasing those chances.

So that brings the question ... are these people stupid ? Not wanting to discuss (and hopefully fix) the reason Trump got elected is not going to help.

Or, I guess, perhaps they're Russian.

The argument that X group "want to make money" and therefore will never discriminate is provably false. Restaurant owners (and hotel owners, and gas station owners...) in the South refused to serve black patrons for a century after the end of slavery.

What's your explanation for that behavior, if not racism? You might argue it's because their white customers would retaliate by not patronizing their business. But that just proves that businesses will discriminate based on race, even if it's not due to the owner's racism but their white customers'.
I think OP meant `What's this Tao all About?` found here: http://whatsthistao.com/

The episode regarding meditation is Episode 4 (http://whatsthistao.com/2015/09/21/epiosode-4-meditation/) but I would be weary of the source as Dr. Carl Totton is a "Reiki master" and Chinese spiritual healer.

I personally believe meditation is fantastic in calming the mind and relaxing you.
I've used Hopper for a while, including booking tickets through the app when the price was advantageous.

A memorable failure was when I was trying to book travel to Charleston, SC for the eclipse last year. Ticket prices were very high, and Hopper kept telling me to hold out, they would soon drop. They never did, of course--and I didn't really expect them to.

It was a good illustration of the shortcomings of machine learning. If a situation is not in the training data, the system is clueless. Hopper had no idea there was a rare external factor distorting the market, and apparently there was no way to tell it.

Redshift is a massively parallel processing columnar storage database. The storage engine is completely different. Redshift is a derivative of ParAccel which was itself forked from Postgres and heavily modified. I assume AWS purchased it because it does things CitusDB and EnterpriseDB don’t do. The intended workloads are completely different.
Fair enough, that sounds similar to the system I maintained for a similar length of time. I came away thinking it was not great - error prone, expensive to run, and hard to keep running reliably - from which I developed the interest in better options that led me to ask the question in this thread. I guess as usual, YMMV.
Why the Government Sucks at Making Websites
Not just being able to query them, but to be able to create useful indexes on the data at the same time still. This means you don't have to break out parts of the JSON into separate columns and maintain both a schema and a schemaless setup for them. The indexes aren't going to be as optimized as an index on a single column, but it makes the whole thing a lot more robust in the end than relying on your application or triggers to always keep mirrored columns up to date properly.

Tangent: there's a great history on modern yoga ... huh, I forgot the title of the book. It is in my Kindle library somewhere. The book talked about how various yoga teachings came into America, starting as far back as Ralph Waldo Emerson. It also talked about some of the distortions of Tantra from India when it came out to the US.

Christopher Wallis's Tantra Illuminated has a section on the history of classical non-dual Shaiva Tantra, and how parts of it evolved (or perhaps, devolved) into the modern yoga, which then got imported into America.
This is not a bad deal. I could never get my dad who is a frequent movie goer to deal with the complexity of Movie Pass. But this he would go for. If you see two movies in a month you would break even - even if it’s not a movie you would pay money to see. My wife an I look at the movies as either worth paying full price, a “Plex Original”, or not worth even taking the time to wait for it to “fall off the back of a truck”. We might go out and see our Plex Originals.

I would probably buy her the pass at least because she doesn’t work during the Summer and she would see more movies between both our son and the two of us.

If you see even one IMAX 3D movie it’s worth the cost and unlike Movie Pass, we can order online and reserve seating in advance.

I tried synergy, with the hope that I could control a Linux media PC from both Linux and Windows machines. Unfortunately it was too flaky, e.g. control keys never being released (I think it's https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/issues/9 ).

These days I use x2x over SSH. I don't use it on Windows, but then again I don't use Windows ;)

I have two system services which poll the surrounding WiFi networks: when I'm at home, I can control the media PC by moving off the left of my screen; when I'm at work, I can control a more powerful desktop by moving off the right (the latter goes through some multi-hop reverse SSH tunnels).

Nothing wrong with the languages you mentioned; they do what they do best. COBOL and Fortran are both fantastic and nothing yet truly replaces them. COBOL is accurate out to 38 digits, which is amazing for such an "old" language. Banks still like their COBOL and it just works. No stupid "libraries and/or frameworks of the month" to worry about, it compiles cleanly and every time, and it's easy to write and maintain. Modern doesn't always mean best. I still write tons of stuff in sh. If it's under 100 lines, it's shell, awk, or similar. COBOL and Fortran still have tons of life left in them. Every time someone undertakes a massive project to replace COBOL in the financial sector (usually driven by a latte-sipping hipster and his recently graduated ilk), it goes pear shaped. We still use hammers. They work.
> same pkgsrc checkout + reproducable base => essentially reproducable full package builds.

I would be truly surpised if that were the case. Are there no packages in pkgsrc which embed, e.g. timestamps, or even download things while building[1]?

[1] JDK packages are a typical culprit in this type of situation because Oracle JDK requires an "accept license" prompt.

> es, some people will find some niggling way to make this not true because the binaries may be somehow altered due to timestamps, yadda, but for all practical purposes w/r/t the actual code and actual executables generated, this is true, and has been true for essentially the entire existance of bsd derivitaves using ports systems (1996).

Oh, so you're coopting "essentially reproducable" to mean "not reproducible". Ok then.

"Reproducible builds" is about verification and isn't just about "close enough".
If a theater accepts a 50% shakedown on concessions it makes one wonder if all theaters are that desperate to fill seats these days.
> Qt on WebAssembly is analogous to the plugins of yore like Flash and Java applets. WebAssembly is kind of like a new plugin container for native code.

No it’s not. With WebAssembly, it is a matter of trust in your browser vendor and its ability to properly sandbox WASM/JS content. With plugins, you basically gave up full control of your machine also to whichever plugin vendor. The number of trusted relationships is different - it’s fewer with builtin WebAssembly. That is a noteworthy distinction, I think.
I sometimes think people use "availability of devs" to mean "cheap, expendable service". If you're working in an industry where you bank more on hitting the ground running more than retaining developers then this makes sense, and totally valid.

But I've found that lots of places seem to be focused on if you know X rather than being a well versed, developer who enjoys growth. And it feels more and more like the reason is because they don't expect anyone to stay there for more than a few years tops.
Can't copy/paste but that lawsuit says that he admitted to writing software that stole information and for trying to hire others to do the same when confronted about it with evidence.

This is very interesting, because I wouldn't want to spend that much on movies either. Yet a decade ago, people were happy paying $1000 a year for a cable subscription. Not directly the same value proposition, but similar.

It seems like the price people are willing to pay for entertainment has gone down significantly, in sync with it becoming far cheaper and more abundant. So movie theaters are in trouble if they're selling entertainment by quantity, because the supply only goes up.

I think they're more successful selling cultural commonality; you watch the latest popular release so that you can talk about it with other people, and the marketing has already gotten you excited about it. (I find being pre-excited about something and thus not having to learn about and pick from a huge array of options a value-add all on its own)
