In the past 3 years, all houses in my small neighborhood (6 out of ~40 houses) were bought by employees of Google, Facebook, and Apple.

Last week, one nicer 4BR house sold for 20% less than a smaller 3BR house that sold in April for a ridiculous $2.4M (that then underwent major remodeling for 6 months.)

Now look at the stock price of those companies between then and now, and the increased interest rate.

AFAICS this has not to do with foreign investments unwinding or people moving out of CA, but houses having become too expensive compared to what people could afford earlier with a mix of increased fear and uncertainty thrown in.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but in what sense, even in the most liberal interpretation, is WeWork a technology company?

Wow, the disparity in male vs female incidence and mortality is astonishing - almost twice as many men as women get and die of cancer every year.
Generally speaking all that documentation should consist of is "click this link to download <thing> for <os>" and maybe "extract its contents somewhere". Anything else is over-complicating the situation for no good reason. Unfortunately that has become such an ingrained part of the open source culture that we keep imagining things like this are a good idea.
It can't keep going up forever. There is enormous demand around $800k which is still significantly higher than the median price of homes of around $500k Houston/Dallas. As supply increases, prices will fall and hopefully people can buy houses finally.
India: the next internet frontier
I also would have gone with Nokia because of their clean software and build quality... But they are doing weird strategies with the European market. E.g. it's almost impossible to get the 64GB version, or if you can it has a massive price increase. Or some good models just don't get released here, like the 6.1 Plus.
> I don't want to have a stand-up argument with someone about money, thanks.

Why not? It's not so bad. I prefer to negotiate my own contracts. To rely on some third party to do so is infantilizing.

If I got into the habit of avoiding stuff like that, I wouldn't be able to travel and live like a local. You know when I travel it's sans apps. I use paper maps road signs and no GPS, I take local cabs, even collective cabs. It's never been a problem, and asking people for help has led to much better travel experiences.

I guess you could say I prefer full contact travel.

> Good? That was a great system when I was a child. It was safe, friendly and didn't involve any cash. If we can replicate the same great system for independent adults that's fantastic.

Except that now the 'parent' isn't a benevolent person with your best interests at heart, it's uber. Why hand all that power over to an unelected, unethical company?

And like i said above, such a system is inherently paternalistic, and infantilizes everyone.

They are testing a lot of things at once - it's a new metal (for rockets, at least, it hasn't been used since the Mercury times) with new assembly techniques and new structural demands. It'll fly with new engines that have never flown before and, finally, the full-scale article will need to do something nobody has ever done before - come back from orbit and do a propulsive landing.

I dislike the active cooling part (which they'll probably start to test along the rest with this vehicle). Everything "active" will eventually fail at the worst possible time.

The ships that this is prototyping will need to be able to land on Mars, have any needed maintenance or repairs done in-situ, and return to Earth. No clean rooms allowed. They need to be both tough and hack-able; more like an A-10 than an F-35. So even though this is obviously a fairly crude mockup, there are probably some useful operational learnings from building it in the field.
Ask HN: Recognize who is barista today in beloved coffee shop
In my beloved coffee shop there are 2 baristas. One of them prepares unbelievable cappuccino and another one doesn't know anything about good taste at all. So I want to come only when first is on shift. Manual status update by baristas doesn't satisfy my needs, because actually I don't want to notify second guy that he is noob.

To automate stuff I would create telegram channel or something, where everyone can ask who is on shift. The main challenge is actually recognize WHO is? :/

My thoughts:
1. Check by phone geoposition who is in coffee shop.
2. Stream CCTV to internet :D

Any creative ideas ? :P

I love theater of the mind sessions. Maps have their purpose, but it's so much more fluid and imagination-intensive when your boundaries are visualized by your mind. The game loses something when you tie it down with predrawn environments and grids.
Git also does internal housekeeping in the background when you pull. Actually most developer tools perform operations on their caches and other internal stores over time without asking or telling you about it, so this shouldn't really be a concern.

Americans spend more on healthcare but get less for one simple reason. We artificially restrict the number of new doctors each year through licensing and other government regulations, which reduces the supply of medical professionals. When you restrict the supply of anything and demand is inelastic, prices go up.

I looked for evidence for your claim as in my mind, energy consumption for the ad industry would not be that impressive.

I found a paper written in 2010 for the Netherlands [1], claiming that :
"Thus, web advertisements increase
the total energy consumption of PCs by 3.4%."

That's not counting the cost of running the infrastructure, and I suspect ads and tracking probably did not evolve in the right (i.e. less energy hungry) way in the last 9 years.

As for the current consumption of power by 'client devices', it is estimated to consume 5% of total world electricity [2]

I could not find any number on the energy consumption on the other side, i.e. servers/infras.

As a (very) rough estimation, without taking into account the 'server' side of ads, we can estimate the energy cost of ads to represent ~0.17% of total energy produced in a year.

In the end, I stand corrected : the amount of energy consumed is far from negligible at that scale. However, while it is definitely not negligible on absolute terms, I think there are lower hanging fruits to focus on to fight global warming, such as reliance on fossil fuels, common use of products made on the other side of the world, meat consumption...

Not sure if this is tongue-in-cheek or not but we do try to follow the/our perceived Apple approach of "sensible defaults which take the thinking out of using the tool". This means doing things automatically for users and letting them opt-out rather than requiring them to read all our documentation to know how to avoid e.g. a bloated cache directory.

What exactly is the counterpoint here?
Found this piece in which Lyft boasts that they had more driver upon coming back to Austin, and where RideAustin states that their numbers have dropped from 50k weekly rides to 20k rides, which is their minimum number to remain relevant.

Drivers probably signed up again with Lyft/Uber simply because these apps had again a significant volume of business to offer.

Also, I saw on reddit that RideAustin had closed its onboarding office, which seems like the best way to send drivers to their competitors.

And that’s why Apple is focusing on service revenue and ancillary devices like the Watch, AirPods, etc.

What tech company has a better,more profitable business model than Apple? Even long term, the only two other tech companies I would bet on are Microsoft because of Azure and Office (definitely not Windows) and Amazon because of AWS and to a lesser extent the stickiness of Amazon Prime.

The racist cab pickup issue occurred to me too, but it’s not in conflict with his overall argument. Doctorow allows that the ride hailing app experience (not to be mistaken with to the “ride sharing” business model) is, in most respects, a foundational improvement upon the old taxi pickup experience. This is not mutually exclusive with the claim that Uber, et al.’s business practices (i.e. circumvention of any and all possible tax and labor laws) introduce a unique set of problems for riders and drivers alike.

We'll see what happens once the airports shut down. If not this paycheck then certainly the next - air traffic controllers are going to strike and then it's Game Over. Trump may declare the strike illegal, but the court case currently proceeding from the union is going to argue otherwise. Since no one has missed a paycheck yet then technically no one is not being paid to work. Once Friday's paychecks are missed the government is in breach of contract. This could get really interesting really fast.
For something as resource intensive as agriculture, I have to disagree. Forcing land use to be less efficient would have serious consequences.

I can check it later when I am back at home but since I regularly clean my projects & prototypes folder I do not think I kept it.

The implementation was quite straight forward in both languages: count words and then some statistic counting. It made me think that Nim will end up making me think all the time in the CPU and the compiler in the same way I did when I programmed C (and still high level languages beat the things by achieving much faster cleaner designs/prototypes/high level patterns, etc).

To be fair in my initial criticism, I guess a highly skilled Nim developer could beat python on a restricted environment, and in high level async processes both might differ in less than 1% in performance matters; but my code was really trivial and a straight forward iteration.
It sounds like you want to enjoy talking to people, experiencing a culture of negotiation, taking part in local services, handle local money.

I don't see why meta-Uber has to hitch on the backs of Uber and Lyft. Just have an app (I'd suggest "Ride") that knows all these local co-ops and contacts an appropriate one. Ride Austin when you're in Austin, Ride Shanghai when you're there. Make it trivial for anyone to start such a co-op in a new city, and the drivers will come. There's no need to first book on Uber.

Well, hiring your first employee is a special case.

You gotta learn what legislation applies to you now and start following it. Gotta pay people regularly, instead of when it's convenient for you. Gotta have policies for things like expenses and sick leave and holiday and car use and overtime and bribery and dress code. Gotta apply the policies consistently and fairly. Gotta get them work space and equipment and maybe parking. Maybe you need to provide training. Gotta to figure out how to put job ads into the newspaper or whatever your industry is doing these days. Gotta decide what sort of interview questions you're going to ask...
The questions is what it is they know.

You can be very wrong even though you are completely logical all the way down to your premise.

All policy decisions have consequences sooner or later. Economist can neither predict, save or create the financial market.

The things economists can say something useful about are different than what they are being used for. We should ask economists to calculate how public spending is going to be affected by various policies but the idea that they should be asked for advice on fundamental questions and thus what to implement as policy and not is simply a misguided idea to begin with.

People make the economy not economists. Economists should be treated as custodians not psychics which is happening all to often today IMO.

Releases: https://github.com/red/red/releases

Barely above one patch increment a year for the past three years:

- Nov 2018, 0.6.4

- Jul 2018, 0.6.3

- Mar 2017, 0.6.2

- Jun 2016, 0.6.1

- Mar 2016, 0.6.0

Minor versions incremented from 0.1. to 0.6 in 7 years, and increments have slowed down.

So, we are expected to believe that 7 years from now when it maybe reaches 1.0.0 the devs will suddenly go through all the code, add comments and tests, and start caring?

> no one will adhere to your idealistic, unencumbered by reality version of how things should be done.

Me: when you fix issues, you should really add tests to those fixes. At least strive to have more than ~0 tests in your fixes. Add documentation to critical parts of your system.

You: "your idealistic, unencumbered by reality version"

:-\

That's why I'm extremely sceptical. What is considered the norm pretty much everywhere is viewed as "unencumbered by reality" in Red world.

I very much doubt it was taken into account.
I agree also on the point about documentation, this practice was also extended to the community modules (but everything was new and hacky so I thought it was OK, but it ended up being the rule a the ecosystem).
Isn't it also possible for two numbers to have unequal expansions but still be equal? Take .3... * 3 vs 1. The first expands to .9... while the second expands to 1.0... but they are also equal.

The inventory chart at the top of the article is a bit misleading. It'd be better to use a months supply of inventory chart.
A 100% increase in inventory is equivalent to a -50% decrease in inventory, but they show up out of proportion. It's much easier to increase inventory by 100% if the months of supply is very very low. (e.g. going from 1 month of inventory to 2 months of inventory is a lot less substantial than 2 months to 4 months)
