> someone standing just outside your property and yelling at you 24/7

Around the clock shouting in residential neighborhoods is likely to get you fined for disturbing the peace.

But, you can send hate mail, or shout in some public spaces and be just fine.

Sending angry emails or tweets sounds most like the former.
This might skew the data in terms of "How much money will you actually have left after paying rent" but personally I feel it's still a decent analysis on cost of living. I assume (with no evidence to back it up, granted) that you can find the approximate price of a 1br apartment by taking some percentage from the 2 bedroom.

Do you see skew in some other way?
> the best that can be hoped for is rigorous justification of lending criteria in non pure correlative ways

OP's point is government has better tools for enacting social policy than lending regulations. Improving low-income borrowers' finances, instead of pushing banks to stretch to them, seems saner. Unfortunately, we have a broad segment of the population that enjoys "sticking it" to the banks, thereby perpetuating the cycle.
In the 90s: trance, drum&bass

In the 2010s: dubstep (minor), trap

Isn't rock also a lot of copy pasting? Not to mention techno. There is only so much space in a genre.

There's a few filters to wrap your head around here. First there's the "has this person any real understanding of how to make music?" Probably 80% of music released is just plain bad music, no craft whatsoever. One person whose videos I watched a lot of, Mat4yo, dives a lot into the craft of composition, at least as it pertains to rap lyrics. It's where he starts giving feedback to other creators who send him their stuff where you really get a sense for what is good and what isn't good, and it's definitely a legible process.

Problem is, once you get over bad, once you've followed the rules that everyone else has followed, is where marketing and connections start to make a difference. But still, nobody's really going to care until and unless you can come up with something truly different that's also good. Bring an idea to a style from another style and make it cohesive. Play around with different types of lyrics and beats and energy levels.

I have a friend of mine whose been playing music for years put out an album of well, aggressively mediocre country-rock. No amount of connections and marketing is going to get anyone to care about it. There wasn't anything wrong with it, I just had zero interest in listening to it more than once. He needed to bring an order of magnitude more effort to the composition process to even come close to mildly interesting. This stuff literally fills the slush piles of music agents.

Once you have something new, good, and different, then marketing and connections again start to become important. Because there's literally nothing else that can move the needle.
Aside from the share size, none of the concerns brought up in rejecting the Winklevoss ETF have changed. How would the share size impact the SEC's decision in this regard?

A good point made on /r/bitcoin was that the SEC has access to the DOJ, even if through unofficial channels. The price manipulation inquiries have yet to be resolved. If the SEC gives the go ahead, and the DOJ inquiry results in negative price action, those who invested in the ETF, which likely includes institutional investors, take it square in the mouth after assuming all was safe due to the SEC action.
No, it's not only about size and js restrictions. Here is a summary of the strategies employed (edited from [0]).

- Execute all AMP JavaScript asynchronously

- Size all resources statically

- AMP uncouples document layout from resource layout. Only one HTTP request is needed to layout the entire doc.

- All CSS must be inline and size-bound

- Minimize style recalculations

- Only run GPU-accelerated animations

- Prioritize resource loading

- The new preconnect API is used heavily

- When AMP documents get prerendered for instant loading, only resources above the fold are actually downloaded. Resources that might use a lot of CPU (like third-party iframes) do not get downloaded.

It's not working because it's impossible to use Nano as currency when it has so much volatility. Imagine sending your friends $10 and they only receive $9.

Oh, I don't disagree! But the key word in your response is "balancing." That implies there is some neutral party weighing the pros and cons of each new script, whereas in reality, what usually happens is you have the marketers on one side saying "all scripts are great" and the techies on the other side saying "all scripts are terrible," and the side that wins comes down more to which has more political power in the organization than to the actual business merits of the individual script. So lots of sites end up absurdly over-monetized and others absurdly under-monetized, with very few finding a sweet spot in the middle.
Based off recent findings, it seems as though aiming at one country in particular would also have the same results.
Where is the source code? Skimmed but didn’t see a link.
No, I want specific laws or policies from government. I'm not denying that there is racism in the US, but the government does not encourage or implement racism to my knowledge. Most of what you describe is illegal in the US.

> No its not. They are not comparable and shouldn't be.

Why can you not compare two countries' human rights?

> But in practise, they are not and the situation is much more nuanced.

It is more nuanced as you suggest, the difference is that the government of China is busy locking up muslims, and the US is busy passing anti discrimination laws.

Case Study: Pokémon GO on Google Cloud Load Balancing
Yes, in my house that is implemented as a ripple control "receiver", which switches on a circuit that has its own meter. The receiver is a rather simple thing I think; basically a high pass filter connected to the mains, with the filter output driving the coil in a relay. It audibly hums when ripple is on. Every couple months, the meter reader comes by and records the total amp*hours consumed at "night rate" and "normal rate".

So, it's important to note that the old system doesn't allow one to run the heat pump both whenever it's wanted, and also on the lower price ripple-controlled power. Similarly in the other direction, it doesn't make sense to use ripple control to decide when to feed back in to the grid if you have generating capacity from PV or whatever.

The free tier of AWS Lambda gives you up to 1 million calls per month. You could use this for the actual fulfillment of your data. Paired with AWS API Gateway (1 million calls for free per month for the first year), it seems that you could do this relatively cheaply.

The only thing I haven't accounted for here is if you're querying against some sort of database, which would incur additional hosting costs.
Josh, co-founder at Holloway here. That's the original content, yes, but we've augmented a lot on Holloway, added comments and search features, etc. Having a couple traffic hiccoughs but try it soon as you get in, and look forward to feedback.

There seems to be several different discussions which are taking place as a response to your comment. It might be good to have a more consolidated reference since different people are attacking different aspects of your argument, so of which are a little unfair.[I am not a native speaker so I may have misunderstood some points or will misrepresent them]

Reasons why people like single file libs:

* Easy for a beginner to use.

* No non-obvious dependencies. (check includes to see them)
* Easy to repackage for multiple OS's

* Easy to understand since each reference is in the same file.

* Typically simpler and have fewer features(which can help one focus on the main issues.)

* No need for either static or dynamic linking, although it is basically the same as static linking in some ways.

* Eliminates the need for dependency management.

Reasons against single file libraries:

* No isolation of components. (The interface and implementation are in the same file)

* Adding new feature may make the library too complicated(which can lead to some features being denied)

* A bit harder to maintain. Since the interface and implementation are the same, some users may depend on internal interfaces. Which can inhibit changes needed for performance.

* May encourage bad behaviour, since the user need never learn to link against a third party library. If the culture changes enough there may be many people contributing who are not able to use standard tools in the standard way. (The idea that beginners should learn the culture that is used by the toolmakers.)

Hopefully this is useful for someone, and I hope I did not misrepresent any opinions.[Also huge fan of Drew]
Mathematical Knowledge, the Analytic Method, and Naturalism
Ah yes I suppose it's important that I was looking at places that are in supposedly very desirable neighborhoods - North Loop, Northeast, Uptown, etc. If you go into S Minneapolis (which is also a nice place to live) you can find much cheaper apartments.
The only point was that distributed tracing apparently solves all problems.
> deploying code without visibility of the underlying server it runs on

Well I take issue with this, I think Kubeless and Riff are definitely serverless, even though I need a Kubernetes cluster provisioned (and it obviously has servers in it). I can get visibility into those servers, or I can run them in a managed way where there will be no visibility.

Both ways are serverless, I think this because they are FaaS solutions and because of the way the runtime environment is dynamically provisioned. I don't have to know or care what server it's on. I'm not sure that's what makes it "serverless" but there is definitely room for questions between "serverless" and "Serverless" with a capital S. And in at least one of those (Riff) it's actually cold/pods all go offline at rest, so not warm processes running on any server until it is called (scale to zero.) You just have an API gateway that is always online, and it starts the workers in response to events. It's hopefully lightweight compared to your app / suite of microservices / the kubeless version of what I'm describing, where each function has a memory footprint that doesn't evaporate when it's not in use.

Regardless of whether you're using FaaS or not, the pricing model for servers as scale grows seems to be quite favorable compared to same size "all-lambda" solutions, and based on the feedback in this thread and prior ones, I think there's a compelling benefit to price predictability if you take the time to estimate how big your computers need to be and, say, order enough reserved instances to cover something like the capacity you will need for the year.

You can always scale past that to grow when needed, but reserved instances are cheaper than ordinary instances, and ordinary instances are cheaper than an equivalent amount of CPU time on Lambda. I get how this kind of negates the benefits, but not really. It depends entirely on the pricing model and how much you use. If you can fit in the free tier, it's much less compelling.

But you can start with a really small cluster if you can scale your worker deployments' pods all the way to zero without causing a downtime event. (But if you're now groaning because I've got you managing a cluster of nodes again, then your priorities might be different than mine too...)
So? If they cannot afford to pay a reasonable interest rate on the money, could they even really afford to pay it back at 0%, or even negative?

From what I've gathered, they aren't actually using light fields, and they suffer from the same "looking through a window" problem that Hololens has

So, have they really accomplished anything other than creating a new HMD, one with less of an ecosystem than existing products?
My first encounter win AMP was copying and pasting and link into a text message and it had a google domain. I was confused as all hell. Took me a minute to get the actual link.
So? You can't produce either, at least not with real victims, without doing far worse than mere "obscenity". There is absolutely no need to infringe on the freedom of speech by banning the possession or distribution of evidence that real crimes have been committed, which is what these obscenity laws amount to.

HAProxy is an Layer 7 (i.e. HTTP, for the most part) load balancer and only handles the use case of spreading load across multiple backends. A single instance binds to a single IP. There's no redundancy; lose the HAProxy and you lose traffic.

For true redundancy, you need a layer above that handles the distribution of traffic to multiple redundant load balancer instances, and GLB does that via ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) routing. Github supposedly uses HAProxy as their L7 load balancer.

All of this thoroughly explained in the article.
A booster's 2 cents:

Yes, Texas's lack of income tax (and Detroit's city income tax) would certainly catapult Dallas ahead of Detroit on this list if taxes were properly factored in.

Detroit is sort of a well-known "sleeper" city that "might be nice to live in someday", but I think word will get out sooner than later that it's got a lot of livability advantages right now. Great arts/food/drink scenes, 4 major sports teams, a surplus of cheap, high quality housing, a first class research university in close proximity, and mild traffic that's about what you'd expect in a city with a AAA baseball team. It has it's flaws, but I'm really not familiar with anywhere else that offers a lot of those amenities without hell traffic or impossibly expensive housing (usually both).

Unless global warming radically reverses, I'd even make the argument that Detroit's weather is becoming a draw - a mild winter is a small price to pay for breezy summers with highs in the low 80's.
I'd be really curious to hear if you have more insights on why uptake is lackluster? Do you suspect AR glasses just aren't actually that useful for most industries? Or is it more that current technologies have specific limitations that prevent these kinds of products from living up to their potential?
The analysis comparing cities is just (mean salary - mean rent), which is going to make places with high income inequality look better than they are for most people.

I'd like to see the 10%, 50% (median), and 90% quantiles for (after-tax salary - housing cost). I bet the rankings would be quite different depending on which of these you chose.
"Today that hardware evolution is slowing down, so it's normal that the sounds don't change that much."

It's not just the hardware.

Stravinsky's Rite of Spring could have been composed hundreds of years ago on basically the same instruments, but it wasn't. Nothing remotely like it was.

Twelve tone music, Dada music, all sort of other types of music could have been composed hundreds of years earlier, but it wasn't.

It's not just hardware and technical capabilities that evolve, but musical tastes, ambitions, and understandings of what music is and could be.

Similar things happen in other arts. The Black Square[1] painting could have been painted at any time. But tens of thousands of years passed before anyone did it.

Art is constantly evolving, and the boundaries of what is considered art and what people appreciate as art is ever growing.

[1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Square_(painting)
The distortion is often a quirk of geography, or taboo. There was a famous graffiti statement in a condo construction barrier growing up that was, "artists are the stormtroopers of gentrification."

To take this further, that quality-middle is risk. It's possible that the sort of sick and uncanny aesthetics of corporate franchises are our reaction to the a disequllibrium of risk. Reacting to something that lacks skin in the game as a trap seems like a reasonable instinct. It's a representation or a simulacrum, something we recognize in nature as bait.

The things we romanticize, like old cafes, are expressions of risks taken. Where there is little risk, perhaps on some animal level we expect scavengers and death.

Gentrification is de-risking, as is franchising, and imho some portfolio management as well.

There is probably an underlying aesthetics of risk theory in there, however, we should leave that one for Nassim Taleb.
>nobody has a vested interest in investing a lot of time getting to "know" an album.

>So you wind up where we're at now: a lot of music that sounds alike, plus a ton of music that's derivative of music from 30 or 40 years ago.

There are plenty of different types of music being made today along with communities of people that appreciate it. These things aren't necessarily mainstream, but they're there.

> I certainly don't think current music is garbage. But I do think innovation has slowed.

I would agree quite strongly here. I make a point of grubbing through "new artists" and/or "new releases" on Amazon Music or Google Play Music.

"New Sounds" are simply extremely rare, or alternatively, inaccessible (by inaccessible I mean something like "I've Got No Chicken But I've Got Five Wooden Chairs" by Barton).

Of course, this is separate from my tastes - I'm searching for something that is an enjoyable new thing that tastes good and unlike my existing taste.

My personal guesstimate is that the wide availability of sounds has provided a too large landscape for newcomers to work through and then break out of, in general. It will almost take a naive art type to synthesize together a new sound that is both accessible and fresh - in my opinion.
> It was a new sound, and there were new aesthetics being explored.

Is that really true, though? Most of the music that dominated the 90s, for example, wasn't created in the 90s. Grunge and Punk started in the 80s and were repackaged for mass consumption later.

The monopoly on what constituted "pop music" was largely destroyed by the turn of the century. That's part of the reason there is no particular sound of the '00s and '10s. I'm sure there was a lot of experimenting that's happened in the last 20 years, but they aren't being repackaged for mass consumption anymore.

Ironically, this has made the process of finding new music both easy and, at the same time, extremely difficult. As an indie game maker, I'm sure you can relate to the "discovery" problem.
Who said 120v? Plug it into a dryer outlet. My point was that you don't need all this big excessive expensive charging circuitry.
Part of it is that the cameras you can get from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars have gotten dramatically better than the Super8 or even VHS days--and the editing process is also cheaper and easier--but there's so much more in the budget for that AAA teledrama or even a relatively low budget movie. The actors of course but also sets, lighting and sound design, etc. Some types of films can be produced on the cheap under some circumstances but not most mainstream films, especially the popular ones.
Because Apple doesn’t try to shove ads in your face (except in the App Store, which seems fair enough).

They don’t let you show ads on CarPlay (out for 3-4 years), why would this be any different?
It's true that this exists but there are complications – for example, rel=prefetch has no JavaScript API so you either need to put rel=prefetch for all of the top results or do something hacky to trigger it for only the link the user hovered the mouse over before clicking, etc.

There are also privacy concerns – e.g. the remote server could set a cookie in a response without you ever visiting that site but if you disable cookies by default users will have to refetch the resource anyway if there's any session state involved in page generation. You also have issues like companies wanting to distinguish between traffic from actual page views and the prefetch mechanism.

That's not to say that the answer is AMP — e.g. since it puts so much render-blocking JavaScript into the critical path prefetching is often just canceling out that cost – and it's sad that the marketing push has made the discussion of alternative performance improvements unnecessarily contentious.

Inside Google’s Effort to Develop a Censored Search Engine in China
I'm a contributor to AMP and also work on Google Search. We're currently investigating the issue of the blank page that's mentioned in the article. So far we've been able to reproduce the issue using the Chrome emulator; however, we haven't been able to repro on an actual device, either Android or iOS. So we'll keep digging into this.

The article also mentions the impact on conversion rate. We're interested to learn more details surrounding this. Blank pages loading for many users would explain a lower conversion rate but we'd like to figure out if there's any other possible cause since it doesn't currently seem like most users hit a blank page in actual usage. I'll get in touch with the article author to see if there's openness to digging in further.

I'm interested to know how one could arrive at a more reasonable number for a 2br apartment. Obviously, what you say is true: a luxury 2 BR with a doorman, gym, pool, onsite parking, and pets allowed is going to be vastly more expensive than your basic 2BR with none of that included. How do you tease them apart?
