I’m somewhat confused by your criticism!

It’s talking about cost mainly in terms of land value. If the parking spot was lost and had to be rebuilt in a similar location, what would that cost? In the centre of a city the cost of tarmac isn't going to be the dominant issue!

Using city population for a per capita calculation seems perfectly reasonable as long as that’s understood, even in most tourism cases. For instance it’d be a perfectly reasonable economic calculation to look at the tourism income brought into a city per head of the resident population, it gives an idea of how valuable that is to an ordinary person, even if they don’t work in the industry themselves. The calculation being made here is similar.

This only dramatically falls down where the land value is dominated by car-borne tourism value, for instance for a stop off on a long distance road route, reducing parking spaces by 50% might well reduce income by 50%. But that doesn’t apply in the central areas of most cities.

"I think it's possible to build an 808 clone that would fool even the most seasoned experts."

I'm 100% sure about that since a junction generating noise is just a junction generating noise: color is added by filtering/clipping afterwards. One transistor can be much noisier than others but other stages would compensate level differences anyway. To me the only requirement for building a 808 clone that sounds just as the original is to put it in the same original enclosure; psychology plays a role here: if you put the original 808 circuit into a modern enclosure some people will tell it's a clone and sounds different. I wish I had time and money to make a blind test because I'm totally sure most people, including experts, would be fooled both by a clone in the original case and by the original circuit put in a different enclosure.
The "picture" syntax for records was an excellent idea that should be tried again in more modern languages.
Yep, that would be the ideal way. OTOH, will never happen because there is no such certification system in place even for new cars (and not only Tesla's). New cars pass the homologation process where a few specimen are subjected to various tests (e.g. crash testing and emission tests) and a lot of paperwork is done by the manufacturer certifying compliance with various regulations.

That's not realistic for a repaired car. You can't crash-test a one-off vehicle which is the only way to determine structural soundness of some of the repairs he is doing.

That's also why such car "recycling" is generally not done. If anything major in the chassis/body is damaged, the car is usually a total loss - it is not economical or even possible to safely repair it and nobody could guarantee the safety of it.

The best he can do is to become an authorized mechanic for Tesla (not sure whether Tesla has such program, never owned one). But then he would likely be legally unable to use salvaged parts in his repairs, only new ones.

As an outsider, I really don’t understand how the US economy continues to function. With almost nonexistent social safety nets, jobs you can be fired from if you don’t come to work while ill, lack of paid maternity leave combined with really expensive daycare, and healthcare you can only afford if you’re healthy anyway, the only way for an average person to be able to prepare for contingencies is to have a lot of savings. But at the same time an average person cannot afford to save any money! Boggles the mind.

Ask HN: Good books on making successful engineering organizations?
Our startup has been growing very fast in the last few yeas, but we're struggling to adapt our organization structure to better suite the needs:

* The organization is flat, so a lot of management work is pushed towards engineering, which causes friction.

* The product is a giant monolith with poor modularity, which makes growing teams hard and the initial ramping up of new hires longer than it could be.

* We're pretending to do agile with daily standups and everything, and it's super weird with a lot of useless communication.

I could go on. This is why I'm asking you HN to suggest me any information sources (books, blogposts, articles) on how to create successful engineering organizations, especially in a rapid-grown environment where the moment of "oh shit, we're an actual company with enterprise customers now" has been reached, but the organization hasn't fully adjusted.
How is that even possible if the median income is $59.000?
I like this method of "selection by rejection". It makes sense. People like stuff for a variety of reasons, what one ought to be looking for is adversarial feedback. But how do you choose which bad reviews to ignore ?
You are 100% correct, I made a similar post and had it flagged/deleted, albeit with a bit more anger in mine. Give up man, this is a safe space for the white SV bros to hang out, they delete articles about minorities/black people in tech are regularly, check out http://hckrnews.com/ to see what they remove. Don't mistake Hn for a discussion platform like I did, this is a curated SV accelerator funded PR platform to promote YC companies before anything else, the anger/frustration comes from this place parading/dressing up as a discussion forum, it is NOT.

I'm saying that police departments DO have databases filled with images that have wooden walls and such. Not furniture usually, but photos are often taken in sub-optimal circumstances even when the police or others are trained to take the photos properly. I know this is the case because I've worked on biometric systems for the past 18 years, and I have personally worked on a system which was identifying almost every face to a mugshot taken against a wall with wooden paneling and the matching algorithm was keying in on it as a face rather than the human. I'm not speaking theoretically, this is how these systems fail.
This IS the reasons a US economy is so strong.
You got it all wrong.
Extreme consumerism, inability to be unemployed (unemployment can end up in being homeless, so the transition period between jobs is almost non-existent, so the economy won't feel it, and the government don't need to pay benefits long term), enforcing businesses and insurance companies to cover the healthcare (inflating costs, creating jobs for middleman to shift the responsibility, building fear in people that if their wealth decreases they will be uninsured), not many social programs (so more money can be spent on public projects). All of those things are fuel to the economy, not dead weight.

It boggles the minds of many Americans, but a vast majority of the country doesn't know any better thanks to relative deprivation and lack of meaningful exposure to other ways of life (in other countries). That or they just "chalk it up to grit".

> a QDR Infiniband interconnect (~1μs latency, 40GB bandwidth)

This is the key aspect of actual HPC clusters that appears to be missing from the pretenders.

Some of the sibling comments point out that these scaled-down versions can be useful for testing in advance of deploying to (or building in the first place) the real cluster. However, that only makes sense if everything is scaled reasonably proportionally, and that can be tough with I/O, if latency and not just bandwidth, is important.

I can imagine a tiny platform like a raspberry pi being credibly interconnected with gigabit ethernet, but even a vaguely modern low-end x86 cpu can saturate it (and maybe even 10GE), never mind the (100x?) latency compared to IB.
That’s 4900 dollars per month before taxes. Substract taxes, health insurance, rent, bills etc and I think it becomes obvious why you’d live paycheck to paycheck. 59k is not much given how expensive some of the essential necessities (place to live, healthcare etc) have become. Throw in car and student loans just to get rid of any left over money you might struggle to save per month.
s-expressions are already (a trivially deserialised encoding of) an AST representation. If the Haskell language used s-expressions, or if the "frontend" language was designed to desugar into s-expressions via a standalone pre-processor, then this representation would be available to any code that wanted to use it. Different programs, or different parts of the same program, might decide to convert it to their own specialised datatypes (like those of GHC's frontend and Template Haskell), but those would essentially be details specific to that program (either as an implementation detail or an API). It would have no real influence on how others choose to process the language.

If we think of the current GHC implementation in this way, we find that the only de facto representations of Haskell code is `ByteString` (or `Lazy.ByteString` or `String` or `Text` or `Lazy.Text`, of course ;) ). Since these are generally unparseable (e.g. via haskell-src-exts and friends), it's hard to do much with them (hence the tendency to delve into GHC's own representations).

Note that for my own work I ended up abandoning Haskell syntax altogether in favour of GHC Core. I use Cabal and GHC to do the parsing (since that seems to be the only way to handle real world code), and a GHC plugin to dump out Core as s-expressions http://chriswarbo.net/git/ast-plugin

Indeed. While this particular venue wouldn't have worked for:

(a compromise of github itself would be needed) - it's easy to imagine one of the many mirrors of Debian to suffer from compromise. But as they just push signed debs, the damage would be limited (not trivial, there could conceivably be bugs in apt/dpkg/gnupg etc).

The vast majority of the country has decent access to healthcare. Professional jobs, union jobs, they roll okay insurance into compensation and pay enough that people can manage their side of any bills, even if it is a few thousand dollars. And then ~¼ of the country gets insurance from Medicaid, with about ⅕ of the country getting insurance from Medicare.

That doesn't make it a good system, but you've got the wrong idea about the number of people that can't afford healthcare at all.
Yes; regular 400mg elemental magnesium (in chelated form)/day, and occasionally (e.g. after serious exercise) an additional teaspoon - 300-600mg elemental, in citrate form -- I find it keeps the muscles feeling much better (in a way that increasing the dose of chelated form does not -- even though the latter is supposed to be much more bioavailable).

I have never thought about the calcification angle that you mentioned in another thread, I'm just constantly experimenting since my teens, and keeping the things that seem to improve my well being (with the occasional breaks to guarantee I'm not overdosing/accumulating, and also to see that it still helps).

How much magnesium do you add to your D3?

(and, if anyone is going to try magnesium citrate or magnesium oxide as a result of this post - I highly recommend building up your dose from very little, and doing that on days where you have easy access to a bathroom - in the beginning, bioavailability is low, but it does relax your bowel muscles ... and even after your bioavailability rises, will happen with excess amounts)

If you look at the topography of the area in google maps you will see that the sides of the canyon are somewhat steep and rugged for quite a ways downstream of the dam. Go a bit further and you find Willow Beach, which has a nice flat run north and then west back to the reservoir. I am guessing that being able to run the pipe using trenching equipment rather than tunneling through canyon walls is a big advantage.
The article presents a graph where two metrics are overlapped on the same scale (union membership and percentage-based middle-class income), with a graph title suggesting that one causes the other. This isn't necessarily true.

Irrespective whether you agree or not with the article's arguments, in general correlation doesn't imply causality.

The drop in the percentage of middle class income could be caused by a bunch of factors, including (but not limited to) increased automation capabilities and increased reliance in off-shore low-wage workers.

That's median household income.

I am not arguing for the supremacy of English literature, just the volume and breadth of those genres, which you apparently agree with.
The tail end of your argument is the broken window fallacy. On every conceivable metric the vast amount of bureaucracy and paper-pushing required by the uniquely dysfunctional US healthcare system fails to deliver any benefit proportionate to its gargantuan costs.

Put another way, if healthcare costs and the amount of insurance paperwork doubled yet again overnight, would that be "fuel to the economy" or "dead weight"?
Yeah and the US has some of the worst social issues in the world.

Proof by counter example, then. The Scandinavian countries have the exact opposite mindset to the US yet they are some of the richest and happiest countries. But that could be the oil money talking.
I do not believe you are crazy. I believe that HN commenters are mostly 'European-Caucasian men' giving a skewed representation with respect to the general population.
You've pretty accurately described the situation here in the USA. I will describe some workarounds that most of us have had some exposure to. Some are better than others:

1) re housing: if you don't have much savings at all, you live with your parents (or you go on the streets, which is a very sad and tough reality for millions of Americans). if you have some savings but not much, usually you search for roommates or tenants if you have a house but still live paycheck to paycheck.

2) if you lose your job, in most states you can qualify for unemployment, which usually means 1-2k per month in post tax income for 6 months. unemployment has saved my ass twice already and im not even 30. it's very common to lose a job here, but it's also sort of easy to interview and get a job here compared to France.

3) regarding health insurance, if you don't have a job, you get it from your parents or spouse. if those don't work for you, you have to wait a long time until you eventually qualify for medicaid and food stamps (1-2 years if your income was too high this year). my gf didnt have any insurance for the first 20 years of her life, i havent had it in the last 6 years.

so, it's definitely not optimal, but also not a death sentence. with roommates, i'm living on less than $1,000 a month right now and I feel extremely comfortable. I have gone as low as $500 a month but right now I live in NYC where the cheapest room possible is about $600
No, but the right way should at least be easier than the wrong way.
In the discussion of "X and NeWS History", I mentioned "PIX", which integrated PostScript with tuple spaces on Transputers, in thread about how X-Windows is actually just a terribly designed and implemented distributed database with occasional visual side effects and pervasive race conditions:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15327211

Jon Steinhart: "Had he done some real design work and looked at what others were doing he might have realized that at its core, X was a distributed database system in which operations on some of the databases have visual side-effects. I forget the exact number, but X includes around 20 different databases: atoms, properties, contexts, selections, keymaps, etc. each with their own set of API calls. As a result, the X API is wide and shallow like the Mac, and full of interesting race conditions to boot. The whole thing could have been done with less than a dozen API calls."

To that end, one of the weirder and cooler re-implementations of NeWS was Cogent's PIX for transputers. It was basically a NeWS-like multiprocessing PostScript interpreter for Transputers, with Linda "tuple spaces" as an interprocess communication primitive:

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/301904/

The Cogent Research XTM is a desktop parallel computer based on the INMOS T800 transputer. Designed to expand from two to several hundred processors, the XTM provides a transparent distributed computing environment both within a single workstation and among a collection of workstations. Using Linda tuple spaces as the basis for interprocess communication and synchronization, a Unix-compatible, server-based OS was constructed. A graphic user interface is provided by an interactive PostScript window server called PIX. All processors see the same set of system services, and within protection limits, programs capable of using many processors can spread out over a network of workstations and resource servers, acquiring the services of unused processors.

Ask HN: Can you work out how this is done? (repost)
Choose a polynomial p(x) with non-negative integer coefficients.

Now choose an integer k that's larger than all the coefficients and evaluate p(k). You tell me k and p(k), and I tell you the polynomial.

So ...

Can you work out how to do it?

Do you find this interesting?

Please don't give it away - by all means make it clear that you know how to do it (if you do!) but please don't spoil it for the others.

But mostly I'm interested in knowing (eventually) how you think about it.

This is a repost because the first time I asked the question fell off the front page with very little reaction, and perhaps not many people saw it. This is a one-shot repost - I'll not post this question again. I look forward to your answers (assuming there are any ...)

Thanks in advance.

According to the source given in the article [1], median worker wage is 44,564 (for a 40-hour workweek).

53 hours a week.

This is the correct answer. The modern salary given to someone who is extremely responsible and frugal is enough to cover rent, food, transportation, and the various insurances needed to cope with all of the above.
I suspect the parent had asked because there are quite a few countries where median is less than $10000/year.
Well it’s pretty healthy (relative to most other western economies using traditional metrics like unemployment, inflation and gdp growth) so if you are interested in having an accurate mental model of how economies work you might want to do more research

Really? Years back I had the brakes completely fail on a classic Mini I'd worked on because one of the pipes wasn't fully tightened and all of the brake fluid pissed out the first time I applied the brakes. Thankfully I managed to grab the handbrake use that to stop (the Mini handbrake is cable powered and independent of the hydraulic system).

Do modern cars have anything to mitigate this?
What a pointless, meandering-yet-disjointed article that doesn’t have a clue what it’s trying to say or how to say it. I’m surprised Vanity Fair published this.
Economies don’t care about quality of life. The US has natural resources, a stable government with not too many people trying to steal for themselves, a powerful military, and as a result, a desirable currency. The paycheck to paycheck life just means all of these amazing resources are being allocated in such a way that 20% are gaining a bigger share of the pie than 80%.

The US has a good system of transacting with one another (sufficient security, trust, and credit check systems), but that doesn’t mean people are happier or that it will continue into the future. It very well may be a short lived local maxima.

All of those false assumptions you made are gleaned from social media headlines and not reality. Family and friends still help you out. Jobs won't fire you because you're sick. Women can take leave for maternity (though they might not be paid). Daycare is not as expensive as you may think. Healthcare is provided by your employer.

Now, not all those things are true for everyone but it's true for a lot of us. Quit using the internet as your only source of education.
