Another FYI for anyone who uses venmo. A few months ago, they changed their method for adding bank accounts. In most cases, they force you to use the plaid method, which straight up asks for your bank password. Do not use it. You will literally give venmo/plaid etc. your entire bank account history. It's done very disingenuously because the log in screen for plaid is meant to look like your bank login.

I feel like a lot of people use this phrase to emphasize... something... without thinking about it.

Asian skin color isn't all that different from white skin color, particularly among the Asians that schools are trying to keep out.

Can you tell the difference between an Asian and a white by looking? Easily, but skin color is certainly not where you'd look first, or fifth, or tenth.

Other countries have naval aviation don't they? What do you think the French fly off their carriers? What do you think the British plan to fly off theirs? (The British are actually planning to fly both Royal Air Force and Royal Navy aviators off theirs.) The British Royal Marines also sometimes fly fast air, when they have aircraft, but only as part of the Naval Service.

I really don't get the hate this is receiving considering the context of what is going on in Los Angeles. Traffic is a problem city wide, but it is particularly bad for events at Dodgers Stadium. Musk's plan won't fix all of that, but it won't hurt. I also don't see how the plan is any more outlandish than this [1] plan for gondolas to Dodgers Stadium which is closer to actually happening. Either way, both of those projects are using private money. If people want to try to fix traffic themselves and all they need from the public is permission, why should we stop them? That is an infinitely better approach that approving spending hundreds of millions of public dollars on a trolley system a few miles from Dodgers Stadium [2] or an even more massive investments into a subway system that most Angelenos never use and therefore are hesitant to support.

You do know that Airbnb exists outside of California as well right?

I live here in downtown TO, and while we have a shortage of condo's, our condo has quiet a lot of Airbnb units. 1) This reduces number of units available for rent in the market, thus driving the price of available units up. 2) Creates a fucking terrible living conditions for people who actually live in the building. There was a long weekend where Airbnb guests literally broke elevator button because they couldn't get to their floor without their fobs. They throw garbage in the lobby, are loud af till 3-4am.

I can see electric planes disrupting the general aviation industry.

However, we are not anywhere near close of achieving the performance of jet engine aircraft, be it speed or range. Passengers are not going to want to fly much slower than they are now.

> Most flights are much shorter than that meaning a lot of their weight and range is redundant

This is wrong. Most of the weight is fuel, which you can reduce by not topping off the tanks. In fact, airliners will do these calculations multiple times a day for every aircraft. On the other hand, you can not make a battery go lighter by charging it less.

> electrical planes don't need to get up that high and can cruise efficiently at both low and high altitudes

This is wrong. While they don't have to fiddle with the fuel mixture, they are still subject to air resistance. Unless you are flying slow, but then take out the Airbus from the discussion. And you can still fly slow at high altitudes with larger wings.

> So you pay a huge price for getting all that weight up on every take off.

That you do. But the weight actually * decreases * over time. Not so with a battery.

> nce cruising, operating them as a glider is actually feasible as well because you can safely turn the engines off and on again

Noone is going to book a flight on a glider to go anywhere except for leisure. As a part-time glider, you still want as much altitude as you can get (energy, in other words).

Even for GA it's a stretch. Many pilots (and the AOPA) recommend landing when you have less than one hour of fuel left. One hour is more than the entire range of most electrical aircraft in development.

I can see hybrid GA aircraft getting used (to save on maintenance), and maybe even electric trainers.

I am all for electric engines, but the challenges are not just "a few".

Exactly this. The procedures are put in place to prevent abuse of the system by the individual. The problem is that they rarely have the intended effect. First, frequently the policies are put in place to prevent an abuse which performed by an individual at some point. As time goes on, not only do conditions in the world / org change but the people who were part of the org when the abuse happened leave. This creates a situation where people can't remember why a rule exists, but follow it blindly just because it exists, even if in current circumstances it hampers the organization.

Second, inevitably there will be a series of edge cases which any rule is poorly suited to address. These edge cases require a thoughtful application of regulatory authority, which itself requires a thorough understanding of the current context and the purpose of the rule. This thoughtfulness requires intelligence or deep domain expertise, which is often not found in the regulators because if they had these things then they wouldn't be in boring regulatory jobs like HR to begin with. Evaluation of edge cases also requires work, and it's far easier for someone to simply say no than it is to actually investigate the request.

Third, everyone knows that some employees are more valuable to the organization than others and should be allowed to bend or break simple rules as long as permission is sought. However, this will inevitably invite a bullshit lawsuit and so companies have a huge incentive to codify policies and be rigid about them.

This key graf at the end describes why it's a bad demo that may cost taxpayers a lot of money:

"The result is that the tunnel would have negative value to the region. As a transportation service based on how Musk wishes to construct and operate it, it has practically no value. But in the event of upzoning in West Los Angeles, the tunnel would complicate any possibility of rail under Sunset connecting Hollywood with Downtown. Metro may even need to acquire and demolish Musk's tunnel, or else dig under the tunnel, which would complicate intermediate stations in Silver Lake and Echo Park."
A good point.

Another counter-point I thought of is that if the assistance does go away, and so people wouldn't have incentive to work for less than what UBI provides, it would incentivize companies to pay more.

I don’t really see how California could practically kick out PG&E’s monopoly. There won’t magically be a bunch of competitors that string is their own power lines. CA could potentially take over entirely and run its own system, which might not be totally crazy. Some cities (e.g. Palo Alto and Los Angeles) already do this.
Permanent long-time residents are what make a city what it is more often than not. Added to that, residents are contributing long-term to the local economy and paying taxes to a degree that temporary visitors are not.

On top of that: yes, his city. It's the problem with places like Hawaii where the locals who have been there for generations get told they have to eat shit because rich haoles can afford to buy up or rent all the land. I feel it's way less fair not to give preferential treatment to long-time multi-generational residents, just because a bunch of tech nerd mercenaries have no concept of laying down roots somewhere.

AirBNB could not exist and all our cities would still have severe housing shortages. It's a scapegoat, the real problem is lack of supply, which is a zoning regulatory issue.

Zoning prevents building the stock needed (or things like making styles of homes like multi-family illegal), so AirBNB may be an irritation to it, but its far from the root problem.

> Without abolishing apartment bans we are left with very little space in growing cities to place social housing. Let’s say we raise taxes on the rich as much as we dream, and set about to build social housing apartments. Right now, apartments – market rate or not – are illegal in much of the useable land in American cities (only 17% of Seattle’s buildable land allows apartments, for instance). Where will we put the new social housing if apartment bans remain? (And it will take years to build the social housing we need; in the meantime let’s at least build some places for middle class and working class people to live.)

> If you’re saving on the order of a hundred dollars per tape (12TB), you’re going to have enough left over for a few readers.

That's a good point, and it certainly improves the attractiveness of tape overall. Still, a $200 saving in medium doesn't make up for a $2600 difference in drive cost. How well does it improve the appeal of tape for parallelism?

The media+drive cost of LTO-8 for 12TB would be around $2850, while for disk is only $550. Considering LTO-8 has transfer speeds of 1.6x or so that of disks, that means only 5 tape units are needed to match 8 disks. That's still $14.2k compared to $4.4k, over 3x. (With disks, I'd want to do RAID6 or RAID-Z3 at the very least [1], which further reduces that ratio, but not below 2x).

That's certainly much closer to parity than an off-the-cuff estimate, but it's still not close enough to be practical. Anyone needing to transfer data in bulk, fast, would still do well to choose disks, not tape.

> this is a silly argument. I think we actually agree on all of this and we’re talking about an extreme hypothetical

I disagree as to silliness, and as to argument, since I also think we generally agree. This is a discussion in the spirit of HN, satisfying intellectual curiosity.

I also disagree that it represents an extreme hypothetical. I believe your own anecdote is nowhere near as rare as you imply. Even at lesser scale, it's an issue: the existence of the AWS Snowball is a testament to that.

> Your first/native language isn't a problem, your second language is difficult

I don't think so - I rather think this is exactly what early exposure gets around. Growing up with two languages, you understand and speak two even before understanding concepts like language learning, or there being more than those two languages. The second language isn't difficult at all, it's just the same as your native language. Or it's like having two native languages. But there's no second-language hurdle in that case (though it moves to the third one).

When you embed a composite object into another composite object, in Java there always needs to be a pointer indirection between them. Even if GC and allocation is free, this is a massive performance loss. (For example, if you have something that would fit into 4 bytes, now you have to fit a 8-byte pointer, and the minimum created object is probably 16 bytes.)

Alternatively you can just flatten everything into a single object, but this loses out on abstraction.

One impact of AirBnb is that it lowers the threshold for traveler affordability. Couple it with discount air carriers such as RyanAir or Southwest and the number of humans who can afford to travel increases dramatically.

For example, a quick survey of Chicago shows:

On TripAdvisor: 8 hotels with rooms under $100/night. Lowest room $79.

On AirBnb: 100+ listings, entire place, under $100/night. Many under $50.

In this way, AirBnb is an enabler for travel.

Moreover, you don't even need to look at discount airlines. British Air had a round trip from San Francisco to Milan for $650. AirBnb in Milan, entire apartment, start at around $30/night. Suddenly, 10 days in Milan can be had for under $1,500.

Economists might see the future for this situation: More air travel leads to cheaper fares. Cheaper fares leads to still more travelers. More travelers on cheap fares means more demand for AirBnb style housing. AirBnb prices get some upward pressure from added demand, bringing more units into the market. More landlords convert from long to short-term rental. Fewer long term rental means lower supply of long term and higher rents. Higher rents mean more people choose to buy, increasing demand for owned homes.

What it all adds up to: Without increasing the number of humans on the planet, you've increased housing prices by making travel more affordable.

/s Maybe we make the following rule: In order to rent an AirBnb, you have to AirBnb your home while you're gone. s/

There is also an interesting trick added for Shenandoah to make thread synchronization time bounded.

Basically, you don't want to check for gc in each (allocation free) loop iteration. On top of the overhead it makes optimization harder. But if you have 32+ threads then some are probably stuck in loops for a good while which means spinlocks for everyone waiting for the stop-the-world gc.

The trick to avoid this is to add an inner loop that does a fixed number of iterations and then do a gc check between each inner loop https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8186027

best comment.
The subtext of the hand-wringing over this case is that somehow Asians have earned or deserve their spot in Harvard for having X GPA or Y SAT scores, and thus it is "unfair" for people with lower GPA/SATs to be admitted over them. But this is just flat out wrong.

The issue is that admissions to top universities isn't strictly meritocratic. Or to put it another way, "merit" in this context isn't simply GPA and SAT scores. Harvard as an institution wants to increase its prestige over time, and so they want to admit students who will go on to be CEOs, Senators, Presidents, etc. They want to pick the future leaders of society, but this is only correlated with GPA/SAT up to a point.

This is where race-aware admissions is perfectly warranted by Harvard. They want students who are outliers as those people will go on to do great things. But being an outlier of your cluster is important signal. And race is a very important cluster in society. That they structure their admissions to make sure they're getting the outstanding people from a broad range of races and circumstances is Harvard just working in their best interest. If Asian applications are very similar to each other, then they have a good reason to weigh such applications lower because you're no longer an outlier in the sense that is valuable to Harvard.

This isn't a moral issue like some are trying to make this out to be. If there is a moral issue here, its whether any institution should have such an outsized influence on the outcome of a person's life, not whether Asians are being unfairly barred from the king-maker institution.
