If 10s of thousands of people are moving to an area, there is easily a way to build enough housing.

All you have to do is build more than 10s of thousands of apartments.

This really isn't that hard. Just pick a small 1 square mile area in a singular section of your city and say "THIS is the high density zone. Anyone can build any amount of 20-30 story buildings."

And then you simply keep zone laws the same in all the other "low" density areas.

Everyone wins. The new people who are moving to a city get their apartments, and the suburban people can keep their yards.

The real shame is that ancient lead isn't the only alternative, just the cheapest. Lead could be spun in centrifuges and then securely cast to remove such contaminants. This has been done with silicon, in that case to remove unwanted isotopes. It is a wildly expensive process but at least it is a process that could produce an infinite amount of product, rather than ancient lead of finite supply.
In theory, as soon as a type system is unsound, it is unsound.

In practice, there are ranges of brokenness. If you have to go hunting for the problem, and it takes a combination of 5 obscure features which nobody would ever use together, it's not that big a deal. If it's the sort of thing that you encounter in any non-trivial program, well....

... your language dies.

Part of the reason so many people in this thread can be cavalier about type soundness issues is precisely that all the languages they use, being the languages that did not die because they have a crappy type system, are pretty sound, within the model the language is operating under, so, yeah, of course it doesn't look like a problem to a normal programmer, because it was solved a long time ago. Doesn't mean it's a bad idea, or that people should just sneer contemptuously at the issues and snidely dismiss them as academic frippery, because then these people go on to write new languages that have these sorts of issues.

(Like the recent wave of "event based" programming environments that just threw away the benefits of structured programming, because they were so thoroughly immersed in a structured programming world they didn't even realize how thoroughly they'd internalized it, had no idea what the preconditions were for it, and not only had no idea they were throwing it away but snidely berated people who pointed it out. And then spent 5+ years rediscovering it all over again....)
Thank you! Looking into.
Could someone please inform me...under what domain does such abstract esoteric language make programming either easier or more efficient?
Except they didn’t - they introduced annotations at the same time and bumped the class file version for that.
I expected something much more interesting: e.g. most common types of bugs, or causes of bugs -- and thus suggestions on how they could be avoided.
I do grasp the impact. You are assuming that there would be built no legitimate business which would not make it their thing to send original objects to earth.

The diamond market was created to begin with, just because the market is going down doesn't mean that the value of a diamond is which any visit to a diamond store would tell you and certain historic diamonds certainly haven't gone down in price.

You can't recreate the history of an original ming dynasty vase just because you can replicate it down to it's atomic structure that's the point.

You can't see this because you keep thinking about the object as having value. It never had value it's us who attach value to things and we will continue to do that even if we can replicate, in fact that would just increase the price even more for originals.

I used to live in American suburbia; it was full of vagrants. I had to call the police on several occasions.

Meh. I used to loath cutting the grass. Now I'm in quick walking distance to several large very green parks.

It is quite possible to succeed and still fail your trial. Which is one of the many reasons these things should be thrown out in favor of patient choice. You could spend 1/10 of the cost of later trials on publishing risk assessments and still be far ahead of the game of risk management.

Another problem is that too many of today's medical technologies are horribly marginal in their benefits. Marginal benefits have a way of smoothing out to nothing as the patient population broadens. The industry isn't approaching medicine for age-related disease in the right way. If you are actually addressing a useful mechanism, the effect won't be marginal. Science managed that shift from marginal to effective for infectious disease. There is now a pending transition for the diseases of aging - from marginal messing with the disease state to actually addressing the root causes.

Here is a phase 3 that succeeded and failed. Clearly it works. But the study design is such that they had an unexpected result:

https://www.gensight-biologics.com/2018/04/03/gensight-biolo...

They show a good effect in the treated eye, and their gene therapy also produces benefits in the untreated eye. Since they don't know how that could happen, no approval.
I'm not seeing the problem. The APIs are still going to be the same; developers are still going to be able to write apps that work for everyone.
Induced demand is no longer true when there is capacity such that there is no demand based on negative externalities.

Ie: Traffic isn't bad at 4am; building/opening more roads at 4am likely won't cause more traffic/time/etc to happen at 4am.

That is fueled mostly by unbridled foreign investment.

Could that be because they actually live there; it's their home? They aren't foreign speculators sitting on empty property, only thinking about how to make a profit.
I disagree. It's a multiplicative factor vertically centered to 1. Seems better to me than if it had been aligned to 0.
I thought Opera was sold to a Chinese consortium (Kunlun, Qihoo and Golden Brick) back in 2016? [1] [2] Apparently they kept the Norway office as the headquarters though, and the website makes little reference to the Chinese office and no reference I could find to their new CEO.

The Norwegian company that used to be called Opera Software is now called Otello Corporation - they also sold the name of their company together with the browser. [3]

Along 101 there's definitely a lot of strip malls behind a row of tress - that's basically what Corte Madera and parts of Strawberry are. However, 35% of Marin is preserved open space, and that doesn't include the Marin Agricultural Land Trust - where farmers in (generally North and West) Marin agree to preserve the farm land in exchange for immediate payments to make improvements to their farms.

There's a unique history in Marin surrounding open space and conservation, including the Marincello development and the actual creation of "national recreation areas." If you're interested, I'd encourage you to check out "Rebels With a Cause" ... there really is something special in Marin on this issue. http://rebelsdocumentary.org

That said, I totally agree that SF needs more density :)
Building apartments actually PROTECTS open spaces and protects our parks.

High density living is by far the most efficient way to use land.

For every apartment building that is made, that is 100 LESS urban sprawl creating suburban houses that we need.

High density living frees up massive amounts of space that could instead be used for all the awesome things that people love.

> By your argument, they have no right to tell people living their what they can do with their property.

That's a false equivalence. People moving in aren't telling people in San Francisco what to do with their property. There is a mutual transaction (between a developer in San Francisco that wants to build say a high-rise apartment and people who want to rent it), that is being blocked by NIMBYs who have no property interest in the land on which the apartment would sit.

> Part of the difficulty was conceptual -- programmers were not used to having to write code that used the same number of calls to random within the simulation

Can anyone grok this? I can't see why this (each player's simulation making the same number of calls to random) would ever not be the case if all players are running the same patch of the game and are executing the same commands.
Sample size isn't the issue here, although a large heterogenous sample is good.

The complaints are e.g. "Most bugs are reported from iPhones" because they are a very popular type of phone with the customers more likely to report bugs. It doesn't necessarily mean the iPhone is buggier than others.

Most financial applications or experiments in the space are not conducted on the public blockchain so the oligarch aspect of it is not applicable - and no someone can't just program more money on the public blockchain - the blockchain exists to validate the amount of money flowing through it. If someone "programs more" that's essentially a fork and they can't transact with it unless other folks in the network fork as well.
You’re right! Thanks for adding your thoughts to clarify. The wording “most likely” could be confusing indeed.
How about we change it to be “Bugs discovered through Instabug are most often resolved within 24 hours of being reported.” Would that be clearer? And also saying that this is percent of all bugs, not percent of resolved bugs
I'm not happy about PRISM either, but complying with three letter agencies is hardly a point against their general trustworthyness. Maybe on privacy issues but not generally.

I think the press should do a better job distinguishing between hacking attempts and phishing attempts. Phishing attempts are largely avoidable and it would serve not just the politicians but the public to be educated on best practices to avoid being phished.

Cool question/objection.

The two moons are going in opposite directions, so the speed guess is really 28 km/s.

For a full second it would be 2km across and 14km or less away (.5 seconds before and .5 seconds after it's overhead). That's 16 degrees of visual angle. The moon is .5 degrees of visual angle, so you get a full second of something 32 times bigger than our moon.

It would be moon sized about 230 km away, which is over 8 seconds away. So you'd get to see a moon grow quite large over 8 seconds.

So you would see it, but would it be awesome?

Lets say our eyes can see things in the 100 ms range (really a bit better). For that 100 ms, the object would be < 1.4km from you and subtend fully 71 degrees of your vision. That's about 2 basketballs width at arms length.

Which sounds cool though maybe not awesome. But hey you are looking at a moon rushing at your face like a basketball, I would totally go.

Understood. I don't think that solves the issue that many adapterphobes have, though.

With my 2012 MBP, I don't need to buy extra cables for each device I have. I just use the standard cable that's included. Or the one that the conference room already has. HDMI for displays (or DP), USB for a keyboard or mouse, etc.

When all you have is the USB-C port, it's now your own responsibility to carry a cable for each situation.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think it's all that big of a deal. But I understand where complainers are coming from.
This looks great at monitoring and detection.

However the mitigation strategies look weak.

The two mitigation techniques are

> The first one is based on a ‘do-it-yourself’ approach, where the network reacts by prefix de-aggregation in order to attract traffic back to its own routers. This technique is effective for all unfiltered prefixes, less specific than /24.

I can't see this being very useful in practice - surely the attackers will just advertise /24's anyway.

Eg the high profile attack on Amazon DNS was by announcing a more specific /24.

> For attacks on /24 prefixes, ARTEMIS can enable a mitigation solution similar to the DDoS protection as-a-service offered today. In particular, the affected AS can request that other (collaborating) networks announce the hijacked prefix from their own premises (multiple origin AS), and then tunnel the traffic they attract back to the victim (for example, via the victim’s upstream providers).

Well that would work but requires a whole lot of setup in advance. Perhaps someone like Cloudflare will offer this as a service otherwise I can't see it being widely deployed as it is lots of tricky network configuration in core routers which (in my experience) operators tend to be very cautious about.

I went to Best Buy recently on a whim to try and _not_ by something from Amazon.

I had found a product on the Best Buy website, a $79 55-65 inch LCD/Plasma corner wall mount. So I drove to the store and looked for it. This was roughly 2 months after Christmas.

The store had about 300 units of a $199.99 version and 0 units of any thing the below $150...

I spent about 15 minutes looking for somebody to tell me what I already expected, they only carry the expensive one in store.

I bought the same brand (slightly different model number off Amazon.com [likely to prevent price matching]) while in the Best Buy for $69, shipped to my house.

It was $10 cheaper, I didn't need to leave my house, I didn't need to talk to anyone...

Best Buy completely lost my sale because they didn't have inventory and pushed a more expensive and way higher margin unit ...

I was so disappointed because I really, really tried to _not_ buy from Amazon.

It's no wonder Amazon is eating the world while only being mediocre... Retailers are simply botching any advantage they have (being local) for the last 15 years...

(disclosure: I worked for Sears Electronics department part time for about 3 years while going to college [sears no longer sells electronics like Televisions or radios])

Good deal faster? I seriously doubt it. My understanding are generics are purely a compile time feature and does not effect run time.

They are. The fact that HN doesn't follow it just speaks to the anti-Microsoft bias here. They've had the OneCore project back in 2015-2016 to unify the kernel and core OS pieces, which was a success and is now powering every Windows device out there from Xbox to the PC. They have the UWP, their unified app framework.

They are also working on CShell, which is a unified UI/windowing/compositing system that will work across PC, Xbox, Mobile, etc.

CShell + OneCore + UWP are essentially becoming part of a "brand new" OS they're calling Core OS, which will strip the Win32 backward compatibility requirements and just work with UWP apps, primarily targeted at devices like phones and low power tablets.

Which is a ridiculous statement - I remember the number of 90's games that were utterly unplayable in that they'd crash constantly or do other ridiculous things (The remake of Temple Of Elemental Evil would actually delete your C: drive upon uninstall). I feel like things haven't gotten worse as far as the need for day 1 patches, they've just gotten more pragmatic on their deployment.

Without generics, the developer would have to cast from Object anyway.
As a low latency coder, I found it fascinating.

It turns out the game is synchronized by each player having the commands for each 200ms "turn" a couple of turns in advance, and then playing the actions so that the same happens on all player's machines. That includes sending random seeds around. And then there's a load of provisions for lost packets, slow machines and thus forth.

Is this how most games do it? I would think something like WoW couldn't do this, and indeed sometimes I'd see glitches where a character would blink (like the spell) to somewhere new.

Only if you believe that zoning is the problem. Otherwise a big 10,000 acre plot turned into a little stoplight town but with some good employers would expand, people could define they way they want to live, maybe high density housing, maybe low density, maybe both. Maybe walkability, maybe drivability, maybe both. And so on and so on, evolving and growing organically. Upzoning is government-mandated redistribution and not even particularly good redistribution. Go somewhere else and we avoid the problem entirely.
The words "long" and "evidence" are gross overstatements, but the claim is trivially true if including the Asian origin in "contact". While there is no definite proof for extended contact beyond that, there is no final proof to the opposite either.

The basics are easy to look up. There is plenty of time for exchange in the at least 4000 years of immigration from Asia through the Bering Strait before it almost completely submerged at a time when the first civilizations already emerged, among them chinese.

Still though: Mezo America is far from there in time and space; Grid layout is kind of natural, because only a few space filling polygons exist; The linguistic evidence is very weak at the very least because of the time span, isolation, the lack of written records and corruption of oral tradition.

The search space is huge. A few attractive artifacts may just be noise in the signal. All it takes to satisfy the claim beyond the initial exchange is a single successful explorer.
