The Seattle bikers disappear when it's cold and rainy.

In Amsterdam, the bikers are more sensible. They wear street clothes, and ride heavy bikes suitable for street clothes and casual use. In Seattle, it has to be a $$$$ racing bike and one has to wear a tour de france spandex outfit. It's the law.

Nodejs for any realtime stack or where websockets need to be used. If it's a basic crud app django is also a solid choice. For frontend I generally go with Vue these days if making an SPA or any dynamic functionality, it's just very easy to work with. For any backend microservice python works quite well, or even Go if performance is needed. Rabbitmq to join it all together. Redis for any fast access storage. Front all of this with Nginx and database is dependent on the usecase.

To run all of it i use docker compose in both prod and dev.
> Why do you say homeowning was the path to wealth?

Americans are terrible savers. Mortgages force people to save. And while houses aren’t a great savings vehicle, they do—on average, in industrialised societies—appreciate alongside inflation [1].

Buying a house won’t make one wealthy. But it will force good habits that tend to make one wealthier.

Currency notes and any backing standard like gold are quickly moved to and stored in separate secure facilities, and international currency is traded to maintain quotas. All of the records are stored in databases in private datacenters with backups and hard paper copies. The rest of the banking world also has ledgers that track the other end of any transfers in and out of a specific region, bank, and branch so there is a lot of distributed data for accounts and transactions.

Internet access is just a convenience. Phone calls and faxes work fine and larger banks have private networks backed by fiber, microwave and satellite links. If that's all unavailable then records will be moved with the physical cash.

Stopping internet would do nothing. Stopping all digital access would slow down some transactions by hours or days. Stopping all physical and digital access would completely stop transactions but the rest of the global system will continue on and will usually cover for any problems.

So the worst you could is stop transfers for hours or days, and with this kind of money you'll end up facing military action aided by intelligence services that will want you locked up in a hole for a very long time.
Yes, thank you for the clarification, my statement is ambiguous.

I meant to say that the theory required to describe a computation on a practical analogue computer (that is noisy) is no different than the theory required to describe the same computation on a digital computer, because they essentially are both discrete systems.

However, as you point out (at least as I understand your first paragraph), when we analyse/build systems on an abstract level we assume (often as a simplification) that they are ideal continuous systems.
One thing worth trying if you are in this situation is to go to a university or research hospital and volunteer as a research subject, if you can find someone who is researching your particular problem. This worked for a friend of mine who needed anti-psychotic medication when he was uninsured.
I.e. it's a feedback system. Feedback has been successfully mathematically modeled for over 100 years.
Photos: Two Ghanaian Strikers Tie the Knot
10 years ago I quit smoking. I don't recommend doing it this way, but I started chewing tobacco. I didn't like it, didn't care for the taste, but for some reason, it let me break the mental habits of having a cigarette every so often, and the hand movements, etc.

About a year later, I was planning on having Lasik eye surgery. They recommended no nicotine/caffeine for 24 hours prior and 7 days after. I gave caffeine up for the next year, and never picked up nicotine again.

There is probably a few reasons why you smoke. Just remember, you probably like all of them. Start to figure out how to remove and replace them. And keep trying to quit. At some point it will work.

I probably tried to quit 200 times cold turkey, 2 or 3 times with medication, and maybe a dozen times with patches.
Backend: Django w/ Django Rest Framework

Frontend: Vue

Prefer Django, because it has so many things built in (authentication, other protections to build things super fast and not worry), many people call it magic but if you read the code, it's very easy to follow. [1] & [2] sites helped me a lot to remove the "magic" as well.

Prefer Vue because it is strongly opinionated, unlike other JS frameworks (i.e. React). Again, learning Vue allowed me to build things super fast and other having to worry about things like Gulp, Webpack and many more things that I don't understand in the JS community. Personally for me the JS community moves too fast for my liking and Vue has been a god send, especially with the help of Vue Cli [3]

Database of choice: PostgreSQL, because it is used by several developers rather than MySQL when building anything with Django.

Building realtime: I use a external service like Pusher or Pubnub, because they have generous free plans to get you up and running. But there is Django Channels if you don't want external dependency.

I would love to bike to work everyday, but there are a few things that prevent me from doing so, none of which are the weather like another poster suggests.

1. Lack of showers in basically everywhere I’ve worked. I don’t mind making a 10+ mile trip each way twice a day, but not if it means I get to sit there at work smelly and gross the entire day.

2. The ingrained sense of “fuck bikers” that most people feel in the US. I mean, go on any public forum and ask people what they think of bicyclists riding their bikes on the road, where we are legally allowed to do. You will be met with so much vitriol. People will literally tell you they hope you get ran over and die because you deserve it.
On Intel machines and windows, the TEE is Intel SGX for some DRM implementations (not necessarily widevine's).
Are they buying them with leverage (i.e. mortgage) though?
start with an app because Apple is more restrictive than the web and ideally you are going to want both an app and a web app, you don't want to fall into a situation where your popular web app is not allowed as an iOS app.
You obviously didn't read the whole article because he explicitly covers refinancing during favorable rate changes - he has a whole section on 30yrs basically being implicit long vol trades on rates.
Maybe there's an opportunity for cigarette manufacturers to capitalize on compostable filters? Can it be done?
The issue isn't the actual certification, it's the rapidly changing requirements and the standard for testing most software. There's plenty of libraries and tools I'd colloquially consider TRL 8 or 9 but there are tens, sometimes thousands, of people who can make a change to that software and push an update to millions of systems with little more than a glance from an SRE running `apt-get upgrade.` The nature of network facing software even requires you balance the need to keep your infrastructure stable with the need to keep it secure so you're always stuck in a loop between customers, support, management, developers, and operations where everything constantly changes.

Once software is operational, whether you are following DO-178x/33x, FDA's General Principles of Software Validation and other guidelines, ISO-whatever, or NASA/military TRL, there's a whole ton of stuff you have to do to make any changes once you reach a certain point in development. Since most businesses have the benefit of captive employees that can be woken up in the middle of hte night and terra-locked systems, they never even come close to reaching that point.
What year are we in? I've got a $200 phone with 128gb storage and 4gb ram. It will be a long time before I can max this out if at all.
Out of curiosity, do you drink? My experience as someone who doesn't drink is that people at best tend to react with confusion when I tell that that I don't drink (and not due to religious beliefs, a medical condition, or something similar). I think I'd agree that not drinking is considered socially acceptable, but I definitely feel that most people still consider complete abstention from alcohol at least abnormal.
Amsterdam is also flatter than Seattle. Heavy bikes (without assist) and street clothes don't work as well on large hills.
I don't have a citation for you, but the mechanism here is that it's difficult to extract just the alkaloid you want when a plant has a number of chemically similar alkaloids. So when you do an extraction, you get a number of different compounds, often mixed in slightly different proportions.
Dunno, seems like Lidar often results in seeing plastic bags or tumbleweeds as car killing objects.

If an overwhelming majority disagrees then it becomes law because the government represents the people. Failure to do so means there's a problem with the political system, which is what I said in my original comment.
They do. Most headsets on the market these days support mp3/aac and the OSes support it too (can't recall if iOS supports mp3).
I’ve just added an Xavier to my open source four wheel drive robot. For developers, the first Xavier is $1300. I’m really interested in pure camera based navigation and the Xavier is perfect for developing something like that. I’m going to start with using a stereo camera to follow hiking trails and go from there. The latest on the robot is here if anyone is curious:

FWIW, it's not Tesla-specific. Many luxury cars have similar features to Autopilot and get similar discounts for them.

"Liberty Mutual Insurance offers discounts for various electronic safety features; such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Adaptive Headlights, Collision Preparation Systems (including automatic braking), Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Rear-View Cameras"
Ah, admittedly it has been some time since I've tried to run a completely free Android device so I may have been mistaken.
I have never clicked yes to allow web notifications in my life. I have only once added a site as an icon on my mobile. The whole premise of this article is false. The real answer to whether to start with a site or an app is it depends. At Bibimapp we have an app [0] requiring sign up etc (launching beta next week) and a related site which is free to browse which provides value but approaching the problem space from a different angle. The site is essentially the top of the funnel.

LA Sues Weather Channel for Illegally Selling Private Data of App Users
Even though that's the case, what they're doing isn't novel. There are a number of syntheses for psilocybin that are well known in the literature that are potentially suitable for industrial production. In fact, there are a few available in Shulgin's famous TiHKAL. It seems quite unlikely to me that the synthesis they will be doing is novel or "disruptive" in any way.
One of the reasons I got a Tap vs. an Echo was because it required push activation and wasn't always on. Imagine my surprise when this functionality was added via a software update and entirely configurable via the Alexa app.

There's a color it glows when it is on since it is battery powered and that actively drains power. That isn't much comfort since that light is also software activated.
I hate to ever say this, but alcohol is actually a selfish thing to consume. If you are drinking water and I'm drinking a beer, we are having a conversation, in a way, I'm telling you your not interesting enough because I need a kick from alcohol.

Alcohol is a funky beast, for sure.

The audio is a bit weird on this. There's an annoying buzzing noise present for the first 6 minutes. It pretty much goes away after that, though it does come back a few more times, for less than 5 seconds on each occasion. Also, his voice briefly cuts out once in the middle.

>> I'm not that special. You're not that special. Your weapon engineer is not that special.

There are a few target markets that are special. Celebs are each unique, their earning power is tied to this uniqueness. Such an aircraft is great if you want to film in the UK but spend your weekends in NY. Much of Concorde's passenger base fit this profile.

Then there are the truly wealthy. There might actually be an environmental argument for them to use this aircraft. Compare it against the carbon footprint of someone flying on Emirates in that airborne apartment they sell on the A380. I'd bet that a semi-normal seat on this rocket will be less carbon intensive than one of those giant first class seats on a slower aircraft. Maybe a few people opting for a less-opulent but far faster option might actually reduce net carbon emissions.

I bike to work every day (10km each way) in Victoria BC, and people are dicks here. You're definitely a second class citizen as a biker. I had a guy that lives on my street that basically did everything except run me over less than 500 meters from my house. I see him regularly and he still did it.
The question is not whether or not HN users' decision processes aare representative, but whether or not the end results are.

App adoption and use, overall, is low.

Consumers Spend 85% Of Time On Smartphones In Apps, But Only 5 Apps See Heavy Use
https://techcrunch.com/2015/06/22/consumers-spend-85-of-time...

App Download and Usage Statistics (2018)

The total number of mobile app downloads in 2017 – 197 billion (a forecast)

That's an average of about 50/user, with an 80%+ abandonment rate, and a median all but certainly far lower.

How many Android apps are there now? Well, by June of 2017 it reached 3 million Android app mark! The current rate of its growth is more than 1,300 apps a day.

This is not a good thing.

..despite the sea of choice for mobile apps available for both iOS and Android, in real life people tend to use on a daily basis only a few. Here is how much exactly – 10 apps a day on average or 30 apps on monthly basis.

Seconded on Django. It's excellent, especially if you get it out of the box with cookiecutter-django and DRF ( rest framework )

Plus, with things like Zappa it's easy to go entirely serverless

Django + NewRelic for APM is plain magic

When the route to work was mostly bike trails and I only encountered two heavy traffic intersections, I cycled to the office a few days a week.

Otherwise, it's just too dangerous from my perspective. Too many drivers do not pay attention.
If you're in a rent controlled market like SF, there is no reason to take on that risk. Just rent.
- On the frontend, use React with TypeScript.

Create React App now makes it dead easy. Just do:

npx create-react-app myapp --typescript

- Do not use redux until you know React well. You might not need it. If you do need it, use `redux-starter-kit` offered by the core Redux team.

- For backend, just use Django (or Rails). Elixir's Phoenix is also very well thought out.

- If you use node: express, sequelize. Async/await has made things much easier on the node side though. Express doesn't still have async support by default, but there are middlewares and native support is coming with express v5.

- Use relational databases (postgres) by default.

- For authentication on the web, just use cookies (Do not use jwt). Put nginx in front of django and your static files (react etc) from the same domain so that you do not have to use CORS, JWT etc etc. So, an easy choice is myapp.com/static serves your React bundle while the cookies are on myapp.com

Some tooling tips:

- Use VS Code if using JS

- Use prettier (for js, css, html, and relevant VS Code extension) and black (Python) for automated code formatting

- Use jest and VS Code's jest extension (Orta's) for automated tests within the editor

- For deployment, I roll my own, but zeit's offerings are exciting.

- codesandbox.io, repl.it etc are amazing for testing out various stuff without downloading stuff. You can get a React/Angular/whatever environment within seconds that will give you a public url for your app.

- json-server in npm will get you a mock REST API with GET/POST/etc support within seconds from a json file.
Everyone is born short housing - you need a place to live. We’re neutral on private jets though. You can get along without them.

Well analog computation being noisey could be the reason we experience things like emotion.

It's easy to say emotion has no value, until you see it in action bringing some sense of control to say a family that has gone through trauma or a country through war.

It doesn't look like digital computation (not digital encoding) can produce such outcomes.

We are constantly seeing, be it the NSA/Zuck/Wall St/China etc etc having access to ridiculous amounts of digital computational power, but being totally surprised on a daily basis by the realization they aren't in control.
Isn't it an easy way to get blacklisted if you sell to private companies below the GSA price? At least that seems to be the predominant assumption most scientific equipment companies operate under.
I read through more of it after my comment. The real issue / culprit was the creative ways to get people into homes that could not afford them realistically - be it ARMs or X-year fixed loans.
> If they really ever catch on, I could see where apple might require you to start hosting some kind of cross-signed cert or something that you can only get from Apple to install/use them.

And you would find this acceptable? I would find this appalling. Apple can charge for the App Store because over the overhead. It hosts the servers that have to transfer the apps. It runs an App Store to help with discoverability. It also maintains the API developers use.

In the case of PWAs, none of these are true. There is no overhead for running an App Store for Apple. I could see there being a fee to be in the App Store. That should be up to the developer though. If you are doing the work of getting people to install the app yourself, you owe them nothing.

In Apple's defense, they do have to do the work of building in PWA support to iOS/Safari. But if you are paying over $1,000 for a device you better damn well be able to install a PWA.

Multiply this principle by the “attraction to city amenities” and the “acceptable travel time”.

The number of places to build a new home proximate to food and leisure is limited and creates this effect near cities. Drive into the country, and there are plenty of remaining 0.1 acre plots available for cheap.

If self-driving cars substantially affect the cost of transportation time, we could see another epic flight further and further from cities, which would hold housing prices down for a long time.
Twitter's mobile web site is the most unreliable site I encounter with any frequency. Fully 80% of the links I get to Twitter fail to load, telling me to try again, which only works when I fully refresh the page.

When the last employers pack up and leave the industrial heartland, all those mortgages are going to be deep underwater, and all those workers are going to be locked in places with no work. Many already are (see: Flint, MI). I hope you are prepared to pay their living expenses in perpetuity.
I think you are underestimating the impact, especially over a long period of time, of constant 5-hour time shifts.

Flying faster doesn't reduce the effects of jet lag.
Think you are missing the point. Earth doesent just give us resources we then use, we invent ways to use things as resources. Oil wasnt a resource, uranium wasnt a resource,the sun wasnt a resource, we had to find ways to turn them into resources.
Walking can also be dangerous. Especially if you follow the laws. If find it a lot safer the do the made up crime of "jaywalking" between intersections than crossing legally. I have had several close calls crossing legally because of people just not paying attention. I have had zero close calls crossing between intersections.
Are you just completely bonkers? If we start considering Atlantic flights normal and pleasant for commuting than we can completely give up on ever saving the planet. Regular aviation is already extremely pressing on our CO2 output, supersonic flight is way way worse!!
I'm glad Amsterdam is superior at biking. Not sure why you're randomly attacking Seattle.

Every ride you remove from a car is a good thing. If people are riding half the year that's better than driving the full year.
