Instead of courses, I recommend to get a couple books on Permaculture and also look to see if any universities have extension courses for Permaculture or any topic related to it. Chances are, most of the teachers are now familiar with Permaculture and can speak to the “historical” methods and the “Permaculture” methods. Yes, a lot of people have been trying to make money of the cerificstion courses, which I think is a waste of money. I started with my backyard and have used Permaculture design to re-approach working with nature. My end goal is to have a diverse forest garden that has it’s own ecosystem. But, that’s at least 10 years of work to achieve, but well worth it. I’m almost two years into this and have zero regrets. If anyone is interested to know more, I can try to share what I’ve learned or answer any specific questions.

I don't think this is a viable option for ride-sharing. Once you get past the basics that all competitors can provide (non-buggy app, good response times, and a rating model to incentivize good driver behavior), the only thing that matters to the vast, vast majority of people is price. People just don't care about the "extras" that much to change their price-consciousness.
Headline should really be "Police officer breaks into man's home and murder him".
The author doesn't seem to understand that currency moves are based on predicted future rates, not current rates. By time a rate change happens, it is often expected and the currency value rises (or falls) until the change is actually announced, at which point it can paradoxically drop (or climb) due to the market now predicting the next move. The change is said to be "priced in" when this happens. So what actually moves the currency values are the economic indicators upon which the Fed bases its rate decisions, not the rate decisions themselves (unless, of course, a rate decision is announced which is a complete surprise).
Or conversely, look at Portland for an example a place where keeping up with housing demand has not translated into preserving a quantity of affordable housing. Abstracted supply and demand alone does not result in ensuring housing at various price points

I'm sure plenty of people on here would object to HTTPS Everywhere being default: "but the user typed the HTTP scheme, the browser should do what the user asked!".

That said, the bigger problem is that too many things that HTTPS Everywhere tries to upgrade to HTTPS are only partial versions of the site; you'd probably need something more conservative to avoid too much breakage.

According to this, average 1br rent in Vancouver is only $1500/month, which seems pretty reasonable to me for a major city, especially one that's seen as very desirable like Vancouver: https://www.rentjungle.com/average-rent-in-vancouver-bc-rent...

If we could get SF down to 1500/month I'd be ecstatic, that's less than half the current price.
> All you have to do is go to France

I’ve lived in France for several years. And yes, I agree that France unduly restricts individual freedoms (and protested against it). I’m not claiming that any single country is perfect. I’m claiming that they are, on balance, better than the US (when you’re poor and/or a minority). Basic personal safety is a prerequisite for freedom: If you can’t even be sure that you can afford medical care keeping you alive, or if you need to worry that institutionalised racism means you get shot by police or thrown in jail for a trivial misdemeanour that earns a white person a slap on the wrist … then “freedom” is simply a theoretical concept.

And yes, institutional racism also exists in France (and in every other European country) but it’s much less normalised than in the US.

Dynamic IP is a bummer, but outright closing ports is a direct violation of net neutrality. It's baffling that it's tolerated at all.

An ISP's job is to forward IP packets. Not read them. TCP/UDP ports number are the content of those IP packets—not the meta data. Filtering based on such content is already a form of discrimination. What's next, deep packet inspection?

Some ISP filter by default, but they do this at the router level, and you can either configure or change the router. That's okay, possibly even beneficial. Blocking at the backbone level however is just evil.
The non-obnoxious solution for that not-so-big problem is explicit conversions, not a whole new set of ugly multi-character operators.

I reiterate: the average millennial does not make a distinction between a website service and a protocol.

If you make ban lists (the Silicon Valley companies are operating in near sync with each other) - then the public expectation won't just be that level of moderation/censorship within the walled garden - but also outside of it.

We're already at the point of materialization, Stormfront and a socialist organization I can't recall (World Socialist something) are prevented from using domain names and other services like turning up in Google Search, Cloudfront or GoDaddy - effectively banning them from the web. They have then migrated to more censorship resistant networks. Legitimacy to the political persecution (by liberals) narrative has solidified in far right and far left circles - even the ones who aren't affiliated with the two organizations - it is now taken for granted in parts of mainstream web, parts of Reddit that organizations like DW are outright lying.

The trend is consistent, and I don't believe either of those two organizations were accused of being law breakers - and next to go down it will be Alex Jones - a watershed moment and advertising for censorship resistant networks because Jones is more famous than either. In the case of Jones his brand will be bolstered by this. China and Russia will say he is a ideological refugee, a political dissident and they will be able to make a great argument for that.

This is how censorship looks like from the inside perspective - it's just that you're on the inside. The Chinese feel the same way when being told off by the West on the subject of reeducation camps. You'll scoff at that I expect - but at least the Chinese are able to say these people needed handling because of real terrorism and illegal activity - where you've nothing to stand on.
Smart contract programming requires a different engineering mindset than you may be used to. The cost of failure can be high, and change can be difficult, making it in some ways more similar to hardware programming or financial services programming than web or mobile development.
What agenda did you think he was pushing?

I think you may be confusing "agenda" with "perspective". He was pushing one perspective: his own, as all authors do. But it's our job as readers to understand the author's perspective and recognize it as such.

Neither history nor anthropology permits storytelling without a perspective. There's always a perspective. Reading for learning means understanding that perspective and determining which aspects (if any) we'll choose to adopt ourselves.

not true for a Tesla. Look at the values for a used 2013 or 2014 Model S: between $38k and $45k, which is quite comparable to similar non-electric cars of the same price range. [1]

"And eminent domain is not the only way to force people to move. Renovate the building, you may now raise the rent so people can't afford it. No eminent domain, people were still forced to move."

So it's not just fake news from you, it's Communist fake news. Because you claim that market transactions are FORCED. You have the right to your own opinions, but you don't have the right to your own facts. You claimed FALSELY that people are forced our of that Berlin district, while what actually happened is that some people did not want to enter into voluntary transactions.

Ive been recently studying dual quaternions which are even crazier

For something to be insider trading, one of the people involved has to have breached their fiduciary responsibilities. Low-level employees typically don't have any fiduciary responsibilities to their company, so the firm that collects information from them is under no obligation to make it public.
It seems less risky to just not moonlight, especially if that moonlighting has the potential to turn into a high-$$$ business.

Where are large tech companies supposed to put their offices? If they're in areas where the workers want to live and can reasonably commute to, they're accused of gentrification.

I see little relevance of this to HN. That said, the opening line stands out:

> A Dallas officer fatally shot a 26-year-old man Thursday night

This is a departure from the way this is usually written up these days, which would be: "A 25-year-old Dallas man died as a result of an officer-involved shooting."

This manipulation of language infuriates me to no end. The officer was not just "involved" in a shooting -- the officer did the shooting! This choice of words is not an accident. Law Enforcement has somehow convinced the press to use language that removes the direct causality (and therefore, the responsibility / culpability) of the shooting.

I've found that the easiest way to understand quaternions is by visualizing them as scaled "look" or "orientation" vectors.

For example, if an airplane is oriented in the direction (x,y,z) at a rotation θ around that axis, then its rotation in quaternion form is cos(θ/2)+x sin(θ/2) i + y sin(θ/2) j + z sin(θ/2) k

Notice that the multiplications involving x, y, and z are just scaling the vector.

The other important thing to realize is that sin(θ/2) is greater than or equal to zero in the interval [0, 2*pi]. So a quaternion is just a look vector where the magnitude of the vector is determined by the rotation around the look vector axis.

See this page for a useful picture: http://www.chrobotics.com/library/understanding-quaternions
Portland still greatly restricts where denser housing may be built. When you concentrate most of the new stock in huge towers, it's harder to get anything affordable since huge towers are inherently expensive to build.

The point isn't that fewer restricts means housing prices won't climb at all, but that they won't climb as quickly. For the truly affordable segment, they're either served with old housing (like with cars), or with public housing.

The reason I’m considering it is because I’m trying to envision myself in 10-20 years and thinking who I would be happy to be.

Right now, I don’t believe what would make me happy is to be a principal/staff engineer somewhere necessarily.

Don’t get me wrong, I love programming, but I see it as me getting paid to solve problems, and not getting paid to write good code, and I think there are other ways to solve those problems. For example, I think the biggest problems in my organization are managerial and organizational rather than technical, and I feel like the type of training that would come with an MBA can help one solve those issues, including communication, planning, product validation, people management, etc.

That said, my entire reporting chain up to and including the CEO doesn’t have an MBA, so it’s not like it’s a prerequisite.

The other path I’m considering is an MS in CS/SE because while I’ve been an engineer for a few years, my undergrad is in Mathematics, and I’m worried it’ll be a limiter later on to not have a CS degree, but also only a BS.
Once more facts come out we'll see, but this could be a Murder 2. IANAL, and obviously the manslaughter is easier, but walking into someone else's house and then shooting them because you were confused that you shouldn't be there seems like it could go either way. The cop didn't PLAN on murdering someone, but this wasn't really an accident/emotional distress thing either.

This might be a rare situation where being a cop could work against the person. She's supposed to know how/when to wield deadly force, and not lose her cool.

In Germany you can expect to get fired within week as soon as HR learns about you working too much overtime.

Oberon is 2 things. It is a language and an OS, or even a family of OSes.

Oberon the language has several versions and works on Linux on x86, x86-64, ARM and other platforms, as well as Windows, BSD, Mac OS X, etc.

E.g. https://github.com/vishaps/voc

Oberon the OS runs on x86 and RISC5 among others. I am considering attempting an ARM port for Raspberry Pi.

So no, it is not at all Windows-centric. One commercial compiler is, but not the language.

It is niche but the community seems quite active.
Actually the Bellamy Salute was a thing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute

The Bellamy salute is a palm-out salute described by Francis Bellamy, the author of the American Pledge of Allegiance, as the gesture which was to accompany the pledge. During the period when it was used with the Pledge of Allegiance, it was sometimes known as the "flag salute". Both the Pledge and its salute originated in 1892. Later, during the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazis adopted a salute which was very similar, and which was derived from the Roman salute, a gesture that was popularly (albeit erroneously) believed to have been used in ancient Rome.[1] This resulted in controversy over the use of the Bellamy salute in the United States. It was officially replaced by the hand-over-heart salute when Congress amended the Flag Code on December 22, 1942.

Along with the swastika, just another thing the fascists stole and corrupted.
To be clear, the officer described in the article was female. Your response hints at some pretty strong conclusions without having the faintest idea of the situation. That's pretty disturbing!

I'm not saying there aren't systemic issues with the U.S. police system, but you're not helping by making brash assumptions.

Sure but you would have to agree that he sounds very odd at that timecode. Especially when you consider that he is no expert in the field and that the field itself is still extremely immature.
You really need to grade-separate car traffic, public transit traffic, bicycles, and pedestrians. If you set your citywide story height to be 3.5m, you can put the automobile traffic at ground level, the pedestrian deck at +7m, and in the city center, also elevated bicycle lanes at +10.5m, and elevated trains at +14m.

That allows for 1 or 2 stories of parking for each steel+concrete building, a double-height lobby level, with a bicycle-locker mezzanine, the possibility of double-height train stations built into buildings adjoining a mechanical floor, and "streets" that are narrower for walkers than for cars.

I'd bet that the cost of putting a 7m deck over every road you pave, or at least an elevated walkway 2m wide, is easily saved by subtracting the sidewalk width from the ground-level road footprint, allowing greater building density. A 21.25m road footprint can fit 4 3.25m travel lanes, one 2.75m center turning lane, and two 2.75m right-turn/breakdown lanes. A 12m footprint can hold 2 3.25m travel lanes and 2 2.75m turn/breakdown lanes. Additionally, above the 7m vehicle clearance level, buildings can be cantilevered over the roadway, making the pedestrian "street" narrower than the road-for-cars below.

In the US, the usual minimum acceptable neighborhood curb-to-curb street width is 8.5m, but then add sidewalks for a total footprint of 15.25m. Some neighborhoods allocate 18.25m for the right-of-way, with 12m for the road, then they add infuriating speed bumps. In Chicago[0], the major arterials are 30.5m wide, with at least 20% pedestrian width; minor arterials and collectors are 20m wide, with 33% for pedestrians. It's all based on the 66ft surveyor's chain. Stack the sidewalk over the street, and you give your city greater areal density and better use of available volume.
