> but life is way better for everyone in the world since 1928.

I agree with most of your comment, but everyone?

For sure, the mean and median purchasing power of people is way up, but the floor of human experience is as low as ever. Being poor today in North Korea, Iraq, or Syria is surely as miserable as human life has ever been.

> Inequality is only a problem in so much that it leads to higher crime rates and (eventually) civil instability in places where its most apparent. We haven't seen much of that (yet), but don't stop looking for it.

Our crime rates in the US are higher than most places in the world. For example, more than half the countries in the world have lower homicide rates than the US. I agree with your hypothesis that crime is linked with inequality and I think we are already seeing that.

i agree with the dsa and chapo style socialists on everything except this issue. the “affordable housing” thing drives me absolutely crazy. pass laws that enforce affordable housing if you can, but the zoning thing is the biggest issue.

their argument is always aesthetic as well. “nice homes are replaced with big brutalist nightmares.” the guy on the street would much prefer to live in a modernist building.
How are you defining character? Is it only the look of the neighborhoods, or is it the people that live in those neighborhoods?

>"current ex vivo therapies are unaffected since we can screen cells after editing."

If this is so easy then why is it not standard practice? From the paper:

>"Results reported here also illustrate a need to thoroughly examine the genome when editing is conducted ex vivo. As genetic damage is frequent, extensive and undetectable by the short-range PCR assays that are commonly used, comprehensive genomic analysis is warranted to identify cells with normal genomes before patient administration."

How much more expensive and time consuming will this procedure become if you require "comprehensive genomic analysis"? The merit of crispr/cas9 over other techniques was supposed to be how cheap and quick it was.

Someone who lived in NYC just said "that's what turned NYC from neighborhoods and communities into a hellish wasteland"

Since you say it's an enthralling network of neighborhoods and communities, can I ask whether you actually live in NYC?

I've been to big cities like NYC and others, and it definitely gets too crowded for me. There's clearly a desire on HN to densify, but why is that the case? Is the goal of humanity to increase demand in any particular city? Is the goal to put as many people into SF's existing area as possible?
As for everything it depends.

If you want fiber internet, a number of local shops, medical facilities, “third places”, communal pools, libraries, schools at walkable distance, that’s not how you get them.
> An author uses technical jargon and concepts familiar to his intended audience. Fielding's intended audience for his thesis is other people with PhDs.

Perhaps, yet his blog is written in exactly the same style.

Who are all these ComSci researchers who are most comfortable with these concepts and distinctions, anyway, and who are also designing web APIs? At some point, if you wish any real system to use your ideas, you need to communicate it in some way that explains it for a typical software developer. If you write a blog in the style of a thesis, only thesis committee members will ever want to read it, or be able to understand it.

It's like the old story of the plumber who discovered hydrochloric acid clears clogs, and when he reported it, some scientists told him "The efficacy of hydrochloric acid is indisputable, but the corrosive residue is incompatible with metallic permanence", and he thanked them. Repeat several more exchanges, with even more jargon. Finally, they tell him "Don't use hydrochloric acid. It eats hell out of the pipes."

graphql-tag [1] is very close to automatic typing for TypeScript. It lets you import a `x.gql` file (or whatever suffix) that contains query text directly, and translates the contained queries into named input/output types and parsed query documents based on your schema.

It's great but it's not quite perfect for me: I'd prefer if it produced a function that accepts your query executor and inputs, and returns an observable of the result, and it doesn't work very smoothly with angular (especially 5+).

Not sure I would trust that image. It has West Vancouver on the wrong side of the Lionsgate bridge.

Vancouver has many layered issues. I'm no fan of building more apartments only to have them sit empty 90+% of the time. Much/most of Vancouver's current multi-unit capacity is underused either as second homes or as investment vehicles. Building more will make current owners rich, but I say we shouldn't do than until we are better-utilizing current stock.

The percentage of single-family homes that are either empty or under some form of construction amazes me. I walk through neighborhoods I grew up in that are now practically empty but for carpenter's pickup trucks. These are no longer residential neighborhoods. They are industrial zones where workers commute in to 'mine' real estate.
Generally agree w/ your sentiment but don't assume you aren't being tracked. You most assuredly are. If you get a chance, try looking up how retailers are now sharing/selling "Level 3" data with some 3rd parties.
GraphQL really shines for querying data, but if you do a lot of writing of data, the API starts to feel like a clumsy version of RPC. I ran into this trying to apply GraphQL to a business use case that required lots of user input. Designing mutations on both the client and the backend is pretty tedious, especially when it comes to handling the response of the mutation. For example, there's no straight forward way to handle errors like what's commonly done with REST using HTTP error codes.
Pharmaceutical industry uses ghostwriters who are not even coauthors.

Medical ghostwriter

>Medical ghostwriters are employed by pharmaceutical companies and medical-device manufacturers to produce apparently independent manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals, conference presentations and other communications. Physicians and other scientists are paid to attach their names to the manuscripts as though they had authored them. The named authors may have had little or no involvement in the research or writing process.

Prevalence:

>It is difficult to determine how frequently ghostwriting occurs due to its covert nature. A 2009 New York Times article estimated that 11% of New England Journal of Medicine articles, 8% of JAMA, Lancet and PLoS Medicine articles, 5% of Annals of Internal Medicine articles and 2% of Nature Medicine were ghost written.[22] Between 1998 and 2005 Wyeth had 26 papers promoting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) published in scientific journals.[23]

> Previously secret internal Wyeth documents providing evidence of this are viewable on the Drug Industry Document Archive. It also appears to have occurred in 75% of industry funded trials between 1994 - 1995 approved by the Scientific Ethical Committees for Copenhagen and Frederiksberg.[1] Of the articles published from 1998 to 2000 regarding sertraline, between 18% and 40% were ghost written by Pfizer.[1] A questionnaire using comparable methods in 2005 and 2008 with a 14-28% response rate found a decrease in number of people who reported ghostwriting among professional medical writers.[24

> Driving through a long tunnel never lasts up to 30 minutes, and tunnel lengths are never such that if your car got stranded, walking out on foot to reach the surface would challenge people with small children.

Aside from unusual traffic delays, you are probably right about the 30 minutes thing (the longest road tunnel is just over 15 miles long), but it also has no emergency exits other than the ends, and the maximum 7.6 mile trek to an exit with both ends clear (and, a fortiori, the longer possible exit journey if not starting at the middle but a near end exit is not possible) are likely to challenge people with small children.

>What's unclear or abstract about that? To choose an action, the agent must know what actions are available and how to call them. Whatever presents that information to the agent is the affordance. Fielding says that in hyptertext, you get that as part of the actual content as opposed to via documentation or some other channel.

But then that would be wrong. You had to know, through documentation and other out-of-band education, what you’re supposed to do with these `<a href=...` things. Ditto for any of the other options a page might present.

When you first used the web, you didn’t know what href meant. You had to read some instructions, or depend on UX designers’ decision to graphically represent a-tags in a way that suggests clickability and followability. That’s already outside his REST model.

Fielding is not being clear on how REST’s assumptions about “what you already know out-of-band” differ from other models.

San francisco has been destroyed many times over. Its not the gold-digging town it used to be in the quaint 1800's, or the low-cost, cheap city it was in the 1930s, etc etc.
If san francisco doubles its population it will be another city: it is inevitable and it is good. This is not SF's first iteration and wont be its last.

sovereign wealth funds underperform the market. They are the best solution out of a field of very bad solutions for what to do when your country has been struck by the resource curse. If you were an individual it would be like winning the lottery (lots of people's lives go totally down the shitter after winning the lottery). Setting a goal for your government of setting up a sovereign welath fund would be kind of like the average individual who hasn't won the lottery making a goal of setting up a trust fund, and getting the money to do so by working at mcdonalds instead of going to college (or some other more valuable alternative). The significant difference between this individual example and the government is the government is a worse decision maker than the individual since it can only make decisions by committee (or in a dictatorship by one uninformed individual who can't possibly be aware of everything going on in his/her country). Therefore the government should stick to the happy path (taking on college debt or equivalently funding basic social services/national defense/regulatory oversight through debt instruments).
Foreign demand for USD does in effect lower US govt borrowing costs given our situation of having a fairly large trade deficit as well. Petroleum is one example of foreign USD demand (china buys oil with USD, for example), as are central bank reserve holdings, real estate transactions in Argentina, and I'm sure there are other examples as well. These foreign demands for USD in effect lower our borrowing cost as it prevents the USD from being dumped, eg, prevent a devaluation of the USD by foreign holders of USD, which allows us to keep interest rates low and thus finance a large deficit cheaply (so the govt keeps doing it).

You have to balance short term housing with the desirability of the location in the first place. I would not call it epic waste, I’d call it a nice contrast to the density of the city and a place for those who don’t want density can go live.
