I had a similar though but thought it was too low (funny how that is). Take a look at apartments < $2830 within a mile of 98101 (124 apartments) [1] and the same for > $2830 (365 apartments) [2] using craigslist counts data (which should optimally contain more duplicates for higher priced apartments). Assuming not too janky data, this tells us that it's a skewed distribution (removing the distance filter changes the skew direction as well).

Edit:
$2499 seems to be about the (craigslist data) median within 10 miles of 98101 [3]

I'd recommend anyone who would like to clean the air of the home to use products from SmartAir [1] which is as inexpensive as just a fan attached to a filter, both of which they sell (although you can just buy the filter by itself and attach it to a fan you already own). I visited their office in China and received a complementary filter, which when installed in my hotel room in Beijing, definitely cleared the air and there was a noticeable difference from such a simple mechanism. Recommended for both price and effectiveness.

AMP is the developer equivalent of getting a gastric bypass surgery because you refuse to control yourself and live a healthy lifestyle.

There's a very obvious solution here to the AMP issues that people keep writing about: stop building massively bloated sites, where the bloat inevitably acts to abuse users rather than provide a better experience. AMP isn't necessary at all. It is that simple. No, you don't need 600kb of CSS. No you don't need 8mb of JavaScript. Just stop building like that, there's a better way. Put your obese, lazy sites on a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
Absolutely, hundreds of orphans is bad enough. (Except they aren't exactly orphans - we didn't kill the parents. They're long-term separated from their parents, though, which is pretty close.)

Hundreds of thousands is a thousand times worse. So, yeah. Not equivalent.
Congestion is only part of the story. The MTA is competing for customers and has gotten help.
My personal top, all of these were all good research but my favorite one is ROCA.

1. ROCA: A very clever attack on a too-clever RSA key generation reversed from a hardware module. The whole thing is super interesting and the consequences are devastating.

2. Efail: A complete ownage of PGP. Nothing surprising for many people, but nice ways to achieve exploitation.

3. KRACK: how to break a protocol 101 with an interesting exploitation on some implementations.

4. ROBOT: A twist on the old Bleichenbacher attack with a lot of consequences on the wild.

5. IOTA: nothing surprising but an hilarious response from the main developers, deserve its own category.

PS: About the practicality of ROCA. It sounds like there are ways to implement extremely practical attacks.
There are only so many rich parents. Either (1) schools will close down, or (2) schools will lower prices. I'm willing to bet that the answer will be (2) for the vast majority of schools. Schools will not opt to stay open with 60k/yr tuitions and 0 undergrads.

Fastly's MAC-based solution to this was actually one of the existing implementations we read about back when designing the original implementation of GLB in 2015/16, along with Facebook's IPVS-based solution. We loved the ideas behind Fastly's model, but didn't want to mess with Layer 2 to do it. GLB Director took some inspiration from both designs in the creation of L4 second chance and the L4/L7 split design.
Fun fact: one of the original research prototypes for the Mars Rover was programmed in T.

T is still IMHO one of the most beautiful programming languages ever created. It is a tragedy that it has faded into obscurity.
This seems to be one of those ideas everyone has had at some point, but that are hard to successfully implement.

I’d love to see it succeed. Don’t let the gratuitous negativity in this thread get to you.
Yep - you won't get 500+mph out of that though. And the 500+mph dynamic soaring "gliders" are neither simple nor cheap.

(That's only relevant to this sub-thread's discussion, your point is completely valid in the context of the top level thread... Having said that - needing balloons or planes to get your home-brew autonomous weapons above your target is a whole extra level of logistics and opportunities to get observed/caught compared to launching consumer-grade drones.)
That is the fear, yes, but housing prices do not jump so quickly. They really are not likely to drop, as, perhaps, climb much more slowly.

It seems we have achieved a self-reinforcing civic virtue "anti-pattern", where middle class anxiety about high housing prices ends up squeezing the future housing supply. In other words, the negative feedback via anxiety caused by high demand may be greater than the usual positive correcting effect we expect from the "invisible hand", to add supply in the face of high demand.

IMHO it is a matter of homeowners acting on incomplete information. Sure, your house price going up seems nice, but it is only a significant benefit if you sell and move elsewhere for your retirement days. Those who actually like where they live and want to set roots have the practical problem of how affordable the place they live is now and when they retire. That is a death by a thousand cuts.

Regarding the future, I do hope to make the world a better place through my job. But in the practical world of the now, we need mechanics, teachers, grocers, plumbers, nurses, handymen, construction workers/contractors, waiters, etc. etc. or the SF Bay becomes an expensive hellhole.

Having enough people around who keep the community livable requires more affordable housing.

What is the best way for a student with few connections to land an internship?
I am a computer science student at my college, which is well-respected, but not prestigious enough to be recruited by many tech companies. I have 2 summer internships' worth of experience, plenty of project experience, and excellent grades.

My strategy was to apply online, but I've had very little luck. This is discouraging because I truly valued by time there and the skills I gained, but is unrecognized despite projects and recommendations to prove it.

Furthermore, it's been discouraging to see friends at brand name universities being actively recruited without effort on their part, while I send hundreds of applications and receive rejection after rejection. My school is nowhere near a city with a vibrant tech industry, which makes it harder to gain and leverage a network.

If I had been rejected for lack of experience in technology X, or failing a technical interview, at least I would know what to improve. But I don't know how to deal with rejection after rejection.

Other than applying online, do you have any other recommendations on how I could better apply for internships?
They complied with the law. As they would do here if compelled by the law.
A) OK, but the end result is the same.

B) And? It doesn't matter how lightweight it is. It's still unnecessary.

Where I am people are really pushing out of the MATLAB/Python world into Julia. It's tailor made for scientific computing in a way that none of the others are.

Clearly we're talking decades, but I am already realizing pay-offs from the switch to Julia (from Python) in my domain.

Rackauckas pointed out an amazing example recently [1]:

https://discourse.julialang.org/t/differentialequations-jl-a...

You have a library that implements calculating with numbers with uncertainties. You have the differential equations library. They don't know about each other but you can use the former in the latter to solve differential equations with uncertainties with a whole bunch of advanced solving algorithms.

This sort of power, having an ecosystem like Python that combines in a performant way, will be huge.

Ask HN: What are the chances of Apple buying Tesla or a majority stake in it?
"off the shelf" vs "off the shelf"
yes, it looks like you are correct.

The Collateralized Debt Objects reduced this risk down by being bundled with better credit worthy debt servicing.
I agree with almost everything you say. However, I do want to note that you can pay with dollars or pay with time. The old way was that you paid with time/uncertainty. You'd wait, and wait, and wait. Now you can get what you want right away, you just need to auction/bid on it to get it immediately. Totally agreed this solves the problem for those who can bear higher prices, so it disfavors the poor.

That said, people have voted quite a bit with their wallets and accepted surge pricing to solve the old problem of uncertainty. When I used to be a consultant and go to the airport every Monday morning, i'd have to leave 40+minutes earlier just in case the dial-a-cab randomly decided not to show up for 30min. That problem has mostly gone away.

Same thing for rainy weather -- cabs would disappear. That was legitimate because the cost of driving is indeed higher in rain (fewer rides per hour) and thus deserves more compensation. Instead...the old way was...dial-a-cabs would just stop answering their phone during storms, etc.

Sometimes people did nasty things like call 2 separate cab companies, go with the first arrival, and leave the other one hanging (another problem solved by ride-hailing services, who have the concept of identity and reputation scores.)

The chart you linked to shows wind at 45GW in 2015 and solar at 41GW in 2016, and this page [1] shows net generated energy in 2016 at 77TWh for wind and 37.5TWh for solar. Are you sure you weren't looking at the "New installed capacity" for wind and comparing it to the total capacity for solar? (The solar numbers are admittedly bigger than I expected to see, though it appears that wind is growing 4x faster than solar, which is the opposite from the U.S, where the installed wind base in greater but solar is growing 2x faster.)

I don't understand why this is so interesting, as it doesn't seem to be anything about regression per se.

A userland tool supported functionality that it can't anymore, because it isn't available in a new kernel. This is not surprising, as people find ways to access and change data outside of published APIs all the time and they get patched away. The userland author said that the kernel upgrade would break old versions of the tool. So what?
That wasn't my intended implication, I was suggesting just that in the long term there's a far greater track record of positive growth in the traditional stock market compared to Bitcoin.
Reflief shouldn't be protecting their broken business model and the corrupt medallion system. This isn't a problem technology is causing, its loan sharks locking taxi drivers into debt with the insane prices of a medallion. I'd rather see the medallion system removed, debt relief provided to the drivers and a more fair congestion tax or similar to control the number of cars.
> Seems like you overtuned things and hit a lot of diminishing returns, where you worked hard but didn't see much for it, but now you assume people who work less hard have seen even less

I know for a fact people who have worked less hard have more...but again, mostly at better schools, or have wealthier backgrounds or are just plain luckier than me.

I guess the real problem is I'm still a failure no matter how much effort I put in.
I prefer many things about RStudio over Jupyter! I have two main issues with Jupyter (Notebooks).

First, Jupyter Notebooks don't facilitate working with revision control very well. Each time a notebook is saved, a new mess of JSON is belched out. I think the path to collaboration via revision control should be as easy as possible for analysts. This model of notebook is pretty hostile to making the jump to collaboration.

By contrast, RStudio's "R Notebooks" (supports more than R) are human readable, and git revisionable, with no loss of functionality as compared to Jupyter Notebooks. This is the same model that Emacs's org-mode uses for a document with embedded, executable code snippets.

Second, while Jupyter Notebooks can be an easy path for someone with no computer experience to get started, it's very hard to scale the environment up to writing larger analytic projects. The notebook model that Jupyter provides doesn't allow you to escape the notebook without ditching the tools pretty much completely and learning something entirely new.

By contrast, RStudio makes moving between notebook computing and more traditional IDE support for R scripts very easy. A thing I have done that is easy in RStudio (or Emacs org-mode):

- start building a plain R script with just comments

- convert to an R Notebook where I essentially add rich documentation

- once things start to get unwieldy, I start to factor out code from my notebook into more reusable project modules. I then let a notebook report be the "tip of the iceberg" where I still have the write-up of my analysis and embedded supporting evidence like plots and tabular summaries.

At this last evolution, my notebook is really just a UI for the outputs of my reusable analysis code. If I want to take things further I can:

- Move away from a notebook / document presentation of my results toward an interactive application via Shiny.

I just don't see any way that Jupyter Notebooks are any easier than RStudio's tooling. I also see that RStudio's tooling facilitates moving up and down through different more or less technical interaction models. Jupyter Notebooks by contrast are a brittle environment that pretty much dictates you stay within their walls or learn something else entirely.
Not original commenter, I used to use and like them, but at one point they changed all URLs to use their shortener (I was using it to archive all links I post on FB into an Evernote note). Great, they want to do more analytics and they're making sure all URLs in content they're supposed to be just plumbing will die with them, very customer friendly.

Article notes he is eyeing AirBnb regs next.

De Blasio seems to really like adding regulations to industries that were largely responses to NYC (and similar large cities') regulation that strangled the previous version of that industry, leaving competition excessively expensive, inefficient and unpleasant.

Maybe there are some things he could do to make taxi's more competitive with Uber?

- Develop a cross-service hailing app including taxis?

- Regulate to prevent annoying TV screen ads

- Streamline payment process

I feel like this is a step towards Uber being regulated into becoming a clone of the poor taxi services it was rebelling against: unmaintained interiors, no customer service, unreliable hailing.

The only regulation I want to see on Uber is statutory penalties if "time to arrival" wait times consistently exceed the provided estimates. I use Uber much less now because I several times I've gotten an estimate of "3 minutes" and waited over 15. This is false advertisement.

But they're _probably_ not installing exploits on the entire logistics chain "haystack, at least not exploits with the level of sophistication they'd use on a high-value "needle" with an evil maid (or an evil customs inspector) attack.

Also - the Australian Government banned the NBNCo from using any Huawei gear in out National Broadband Network. Sadly that's _probably_ either just racist political point scoring, or effective lobbying (or outright bribery) from the non-Chinese based network gear companies - rather than any real intent to improve security based on evidence from people/organisations capable of making that sort of determination...
Spiking Out a GUI Employee Time Clock with Tk
You can't compare student loans to car/housing loans. If I only make $50k/yr, there is no bank on the planet that will give me a loan for a $300k ferrari.

If I make a poor economic decisions, and choose to buy a ferrari, I'd also have to a find a bank willing to support my poor economic decisions. Naturally any bank will not take me seriously how much I plead with them on my ability to pay them back. That changes if I the bank is guaranteed by the government to get their money bank.

How much would a Toyota Corolla cost if the government was willing to fully back any car loan? Why wouldn't Toyota charge $500,000 for a Corolla if banks didn't care if their borrowers couldn't pay that amount back?

The short of it is people who would normally be completely priced out of a college education are now enabled by banks who give them fiscally irresponsible loans because they know the government is guaranteed to pay them back, whether or not the borrower can pay or not. If these loans didn't exist, there would be fewer people willing to pay $50k and schools would be forced to lower prices or go defunct.
In the SF Bay Area, the East Bay may relieve growth pressure to some degree. But fundamentally that can only go so far. If we cannot figure out how to develop wisely along the transportation spine of 101/Caltrain/ElCam, then we are pretty much doomed. Replicating a failing model in other places is likely to be a vast sprawling failure, rather than a success.
If you are allowed to access your data, then you can grant that access to third parties (pass along the API token). I happen to think that is great, but we live in a time where the idea of my sharing my Facebook account with an app is considered a problem, because it has a list of my friends.

My financial history contains a lot of metadata about third parties.

This is exactly the intersection between this overlay strict interpretation of privacy and my right to share my side of the data with third parties.
They collect the information necessary to perform the expected functions. For example, in order to purchase stuff from the app store / iTunes they have your name, address, and credit card, same as any merchant that stores payment details. But they don't collect information that's not necessary to the act of performing a transaction with you. What's more, they silo data internally, so even though various parts of the company might know more about you in order to perform various functions, they don't pool that data together.

In general, companies like Facebook and Google view personal data as an asset and seek to acquire as much as possible. But Apple views personal data as a liability and seeks to have as little as possible.

Section 130 was introduced in 1946 with the new legislation. Beyond that, you missed the part where they discuss the lack of civil recourse / remedies for hate speech prior to the war.

> most legal experts think this law is not constitutional and it was responsible for banning satire on the first day of its inception. Future rulings will decide its fate. Not giving you a quote on that, let's just wait.

Let's skip your "most" and at least agree that the issue is finding the fuzzy line between proper discourse and hate?

Whether you agree or not, the existing edicts in Weimar Germany were ineffective and neutered, in addition to being undermined / ignored by the ruling party, which essentially calls into question of the status of the rules being "laws" at all. The laws changed quite drastically after the war, so much so that the new legal construct was entirely different, including civil remedies.
Not just in startups. This is true for any transaction or business agreement (including plain vanilla employment) where your counterpart enjoys a massive information and power advantage over you.
That might be a more believable explanation of why they did it if they weren't hijacking the content and hosting it on their own domain with left-right swipes that take users off of your site. Users don't actually visit your site, but they visit a restricted shell of it on google.com.

An issue with projects like AMP is you are now essentially solving a completely self-inflicted problem. Nobody required the particular approach that AMP takes, and now site owners have to worry about blank pages for the first time since 300 baud modems?

The solution needs to start in much simpler terms: Google should publish page traits that are rewarded and punished, and tools for seeing where you stand. It should reward/punish all sites based on how they fare in the published areas.

We don’t need new protocols/wrappers/rehosting or extra scripting or whatever else to drag bad sites into the 21st century. These just create additional issues when we have plenty of engineering problems already.
The recommendations are to inline the important (render-blocking) CSS, so at most only the part of the CSS that applies to the 1K of HTML should be inlined.
