How will it be a great deal? For 65 more years Chicago will be on the hook for paving and otherwise not using two lanes worth of road on a huge number of roads. If self driving cars become incredible over the next 20 years, the city goes to all robot cabs and no private vehicles, etc. they will still have to keep those parking spaces or pay the parking vendor for them. For this year the city will be paying $20+ million and it's not getting even the ~24 million it would previously have gotten, so roughly a net -45 million for 2018 alone - and even not counting the money paid by the city the leasing company will have made back its entire purchase price by 2020, leaving 60+ years of pure profit.

Chicago got taken so hard that it's now the canonical example of how not to do this kind of thing.

Some of this is probably due to American vs European driving habits, with respect to long trips. It's hard to gain much by routing around congestion along a half-hour trip, but if you're going to spend half a day or longer then you definitely want to know when there's a wreck that makes it worthwhile to get off the interstate to avoid.

I agree that this will be the case, I thought you were arguing that private car ownership will virtually disappear. We are already in the situation you described. Sure, maybe use of public transportation and Uber type services will go up some, but I can't see anyone who has a private car in their driveway using Uber or public transit in anything other than unusual circumstances (need to go to airport, need a designated driver, you are on vacation it business travel, the car is in the shop with no loaner, etc), just like the majority of people I know do today. Admittedly, I don't live in a city center, but unless housing prices decrease substantially, I don't see the influx to dense metropolitan areas necessary for the kind of mass transit you're envisioning.
Whenever you accuse someone of personal biases you gotta back up your accusation with data. How do we know your statements aren't biased as well?
See my other comment about Plan 9. You can certainly organize to be able to mmap a file that represents a framebuffer, but that has nothing to do with the comment I was replying to. And it is exactly the kind of thing Torvalds is objecting to, quite reasonably: if the framebuffer device file exists only to be mmapped, there's no reason for it to exist as a file.

Plan 9 used the file metaphor to achieve things like network transparency, which is a situation that precludes the use of mmap. (Though you could organize an OS to make it work that way.) If you just want to get access to a framebuffer as a memory-mapped resource, old style, there's no good reason for files to be involved.

Technology can't do that yet.
I’m not sure why there is a misunderstanding here, especially given that you work for a wallet provider. The attack is as described: an attacker forks, mines invalid blocks, which are caught by full nodes, since they validate the contents of blocks, but not by the light client - assume for simplicity that the client connects to the malicious node and doesn’t do anything more than calculate PoW. The SPV client trusts an invalid blockchain, fault occurs. Coda is designed precisely to avoid this problem, and any solution that requires trusting full nodes, because it provides constant time verification of all of the contents of every block.
Stop using luck as an excuse for your failures and other people's failures. https://github.com/SSYGEN/blog/issues/38
It applies to every country but it is definitely more stratified and noticeable in sf.
Examples of luck:

- Being born into a good family.

- Winning the lottery.

Luck: Something you cannot affect yourself.
If luck is your only game, prepare to be disappointed.
Also: 70 percent of lottery winners, end up broke just a few years later.

Question: Is having good luck actually bad luck? Or does it trigger bad behaviours that rich people don't have? ...
I think this well and truly debunks any notion that luck's got anything to do with it.

In fact I think the opposite. I think luck's got nothing to to with it, and that the only way you will keep your wealth, is to learn how to 1. increase it fast, and 2. how to hold on to it.

As a matter of fact, most people live from hand to mouth. They aren't even able to hold on to the little wealth they create. And thus so many of them think they're slaves, when they are in fact free to do as they like.

Thing is, most people are terribly afraid of the freedom, and – as the example with the lottery winners prove – most can't handle large sums of money anyway.

If you want an example of a guy who really learned about money before he got rich, look up Elon Musk. One of the reasons he dared to risk everything, was because he learned to live on much less than normal people would ever accept. He knows his bare minimum.

Do you?

With that security securely at the bottom, he could risk the venture that starting a new company from scratch is. In any case, luck's got nothing to do with it.

This pretty interesting, not only did his campaign fool him, they fooled the people voting for Corbyn —they made him appear more centrist than he actually was for, they feared, if they broadcast his real intended message to all, it might have turned voters away from his views.

The ones in buildings and lots, sure, or they'll just set prices lower than street parking. The whole thing is still going to hurt the city by making it not worth going into. I know of "destination" specialty stores that have closed because adding an extra $4+ of parking to the cost of going there to shop made it not worthwhile. I personally was part of a group that used to meet for dinner at different restaurants every week, but Chicago restaurants got dropped from choices because an extra $8-10 on a meal gets you a much nicer (or less expensive) meal in the suburbs with free parking.

So they sell ingredients for half a meal and that somehow qualifies as a grocery store that can replace supermarkets? Not to mention the quality even of these products is dubious and the price typically 2-3x. In no way can such stores sustain a community or, more important to my original point, eliminate driving to get quality food for a majority of Americans.

> also have problems with publication bias, as do all sorts of other scientific studies. This is a problem with science at the moment

There is also the "reproducibility crisis" which can be very closely related to publication bias, since a reproduced result may be even less remarkable than a negative result.

> The ambiguities in the field are not because people are just stupid. There are very intelligent people who have been working on these things

At the risk of sounding flippant, I am reminded of the {Forrest Gump} quote "Stupid is as stupid does" (which is, of course, an update of earlier aphorisms with similar meaning).

To whit, in light of all the well-understood, self-admitted, fundamental problems with science at the moment, that are at least partially due to the behavior of the participants, at what point is the innate intelligence of those participants no longer a defense against an accusation of "just stupid"?

It is easy to dismiss 'get laid' as boorish and interpret 'did you get enough sleep?' or get out more' as semi-accusatory, because we're prone to thinking crude feedback is less apt for us, we must be more complex than this.

Look at the rise of ASMR videos. Millions of people desire an experience,a simulation, of being touched in a non-sexual way. This isn't a critique of ASMR - it's fine - but there's this simple need at the heart of it - little different to those gorillas grooming each other.

There's a running gag in AMSR circles where the ASMR viewer is interrupted by somebody and reacts by <laptop lid slam> pretending they were watching porn.

'A county is a geographical region of a country used for administrative or other purposes, in certain modern nations. The term is derived from the Old French conté or cunté denoting a jurisdiction under the sovereignty of a count (earl) or a viscount...When the Normans conquered England, they brought the term [county] with them. The Saxons had already established the districts that became the historic counties of England, calling them shires; many county names derive from the name of the county town (county seat) with the word "shire" added on: for example, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire.'

15 World Cups to not watch
Is there any example of this? In American politics and British politics (where much of the current drama stems from), the issues and candidates are promising opposite things in many ways.

Hillary Clinton was not promising the return of coal jobs. Donald Trump was not promising a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Jeremy Corbyn was not promising leaving the EU.

These were all very polarized issues and perspectives.

Yes in theory you can promise to be all things to all people but microtargeting is not happening in a vacuum, and it's unlikely that politicians will have success with promising contradicting binary things.

That you had to relate your rebuttal in the terms that the author describes only serves to further illustrate their point. You can't call their worldview narrow when you had to tacitly accept it to make your point.
'one-off tech'?
Yes your experience is awesome.
That’s a rather simplistic notion of luck. The success or failure of any new business is largely up to luck, simply due to the number of unknowns: market demand, marketing strategy, economic conditions, access to resources, access to talent. It is also not a fact that if you build a perfect, shining example of the thing you had in mind that it’s automatically successful.

And people aren’t ‘terribly afraid of freedom’, what does that even mean?
In my own anecdotal experience, this appears quite reasonable; oftentimes, especially in childhood, stretches of time as short as 1 week into the future would "feel" (i.e. encompass the same emotions/sensations) as knowing how far away my relatives in Canada were from me. The perception of time seriously befuddled my brain for years -- no matter that it still does to this day!

If you happen to recall the outlets you read this at, I would be interested in learning more. Hopefully the article would have links to papers as well... perhaps including fMRI scans? Truly fascinating stuff.

I developed a Maps centric app recently I realized all the things mentioned in this article and made a comment recently on HN related to Apple maps about this.

Popular times (Maps) in Google Maps is incredibly useful and a good example, requests to expose this data are ignored. Some may argue Google has a right to therefore it should. The data is gathered in numerous ways, perhaps unsuspecting mobile users is one which method is used to.

I want more competition, I don't think a flood of Maps providers is a good thing either. A single source of really good data is what is needed. Perhaps OSM can be that, or perhaps smaller Map providers can provide data to an open standard for which OSM can use through some type of exchange license.
Absolutely. Search is pretty abysmal in many of the OSM apps. I did a bunch of editing for OSM a while ago and I went to search one of the things I had added and it didn't come up because I had searched "office works" instead of how it was entered in OSM "officeworks".
That's a reasonable point at an abstract level. But in reality, while you use `open`, `read`, `write` and `close` for files, the equivalent for directories is `opendir`, `readdir`, `closedir`.
Gamers and even some shops aren't buying "shipped computers". They're buying parts and slapping them together to make purpose build computers. My home PC has 2 GFX cards and a 6 core 5930K core (4ish years old now, first consumer level 6 core from intel), while my work PC has no GFX card, and a 6 core 8700K.

I assembled both, and they work quite well at their tasks. I would never want to work with a pre-built computer again.
I just finished a week long drive and "wild" camping trip in Scotland. I have Maps.me and Osmand on my phone and it was excellent. Helped me find all kinds of things that aren't on any other maps. The best thing is, as a mapper myself, I know the people who mapped it are people like me, rather than people doing their job or trying to make money. It also makes me think someone has probably appreciated my mapping at some point.
Did you just make up that lottery stat?

Hard to take musk as a good example. Plenty of people lived on less making the biggest bets they could, and have nothing to show for it. Just consider if he had been born in another country or timeframe.

This is not to claim rich people don't deserve their riches. In large, that is a statement many of us fine meaningless. Rather, spare us the nonsensical justifications that require near deification of people that have acquired lots of money. Respect does not have to equal devotion.
The main OSM org doesn't actually host any of the servers that end users use. They host a website for editors to contribute and publish data dumps. Devs providing access to OSM download the data dumps and host it on their own servers.
Absolutely, I use OSM all the time for walking paths and mountain bike trails because the coverage of them is perfect. Google maps seems to fall short where there isn't a lot of money to be made.
Write a daemon yourself to control the deployment on the machines. A kind of trojan but make it nice and safe. Do it on your spare time at the office and wait for a good opportunity to show it.

You probably have many levels of hierarchy working against you. If you have the opportunity to lead or manage anything, take it.
To summarize, the link says that luck is real but you are better off thinking that it isn't real since that will affect your behavior in a more positive way.

Still not sure I agree in this case (you can think luck is real bit still behave optimally) but it could be a helpful way to think in other scenarios.
> "think different" doesn't really mean very much

Well, you don't create something new if you don't think different in some way. The "different" part is really generic, but that's the point, it people could say something specific here, it wouldn't be different.
He didn't mention "the Mexicans". There's a weird tacit racism here: SF is very progressive and liberal, but there is a definite culture gap between mainstream and ethnic cultures. Asians in general, have bridged that gap pretty well, but anyone who hails from any country from Mexico to Argentina is a "Mexican" and will have a hard time breaking into the mainstream culture unless they assimilate (the obvious marker is to lose the accent.) This applies even if you're from California (CA was part of Mexico before it was a part of the U.S.A.) but "too mexican". Being considered "mexican" in this weird racist way isn't even about being Hispanic. Many Philippinos are caught in the same cultural second-class status, for example.

If you ever have the chance to visit e.g. the Google campus this caste system is on display in the most obvious way: Almost all of the "green suits" are white or Asian, while almost all of "orange suits", the service staff, are actually Hispanic or otherwise "mexican" in the sense I'm talking about. They are trained not to fraternize with the "real" employees (in fact, they can get in trouble for it), and they are not encouraged to improve their technical skills. There are no programming classes for the janitors and groundskeepers. They don't get to attend lectures or other perks, etc.

You can see the same "split-level" economic/cultural divide everywhere in the Bay Area. The entire economy rests, in part, on the backs of folks who are not encouraged to participate in the techno-utopia to the same degree as the "blessed" class.
To my understanding (please correct if wrong!) it's not only drivers, it's most of a BSD-style kernel that XNU runs in the same memory space as Mach. I'm not sure what difference that makes in practice versus the more conventional BSD kernels — I think a lot of IPC happens through Mach ports? … and I think Mach shows in the realms of signal delivery, what resources are waited on with `select`, etc.
Except, does it bias the outcome at all? If you do a meta study of a thousand different medications that work, you’d discover the single most common ingredients are starch or cellulose. Clearly it’s worth taking either or both to stay healthy! Of course this ignores the fact that they’re just filler, the active ingredients are the tiny fraction of the total recipe that are actually pharmacologically active.

The presence of a trait doesn’t imply that it’s in any way an active ingredient, even a very little active. Post hoc analysis is bullshit.
Looks like that was 10 years ago though, might there be more viable applications now?

I'm not entirely sure it's the same technology either but there doesn't seem to be much information on the matter.

...their lives are increasingly impossible in a city taken over by tech, and the socioeconomic stratification it fosters.

It's strange to blame the tech industry for San Francisco's fate, because there is nothing peculiar about what the tech industry has done. Astronomical returns to capital for a few senior people, high salaries for a large body of skilled professionals, and concomitant demand for office space, housing and services from other industries -- that's what successful industry looks like everywhere. Usually the result is not shortages, homelessness, and lack of services.

There was -- and is -- a failure of public policy here.
I think the reason why toxic is getting used more frequently is because it is saying "a thing I/We don't like has a viral quality".

Flamewars notoriously have that feature, like a black hole dragging in more and more participants until everybody is Hitlin-Staler.

I would <personal opinion incoming> that most modern news websites and television news channels are toxic because they make the viewers more neurotic and in a way that spreads because misery loves company.

I suspect that a ban on news would magically improve social networking. People would still talk of news but the toxicity would go way down. No exceptions, total ban.

If a nuke goes off or the zombies are coming - you'll find out somehow.

Sometimes I miss out on daylight savings time changes or something basic everybody appears to know and I'm fine with that.
