The headline is misleading on two accounts (though the content is fine). First, it's not that big cities don't deliver, they do. It's that the marginal improvments in wages do not make up for the cost of living increase. So a better headline would be that zoning is pricing ppl out of big cities. Second, some cities are still amazing at helping kids escape from poverty, even if the parents are no better off after moving there. The article itself cites that research. That's huge. A better headline would be "Some Cities help break intergenerational poverty."

Article is fine, but the conclusions you might draw from the headline are dead wrong.
I'm not sure what your intention was behind posting this video with minimal commentary, but, given the context, it reads like fearmongering to me.

there are now more registered drones than manned aircraft in the US, and they have been accessible to consumers for years now. there has yet to be a single fatal collision with a drone. on the other hand, there were 5-10 (graph is hard to read)[0] fatal collisions (and over 200 fatal accidents) in general aviation just in 2016.

I just googled the current tuition at the school I went too and roughly multiplied by 4. The exact number isn't my point just that it's a ridiculous amount.
Rejected? Yes, but the filtering has been active for a while now. Labor gave up but got AFP to censor for child porn etc. Liberals in power extended it to copyright infringement.

It's definitely a bipartisan policy for Internet censorship in Australia. Most Australians don't care.

You beat me at posting this same comment. A good move from Google, still it raises some concerns. Should Wikipedia become dependent on Google's money in the future say if they hired more people or invested in beefier hardware after some agreement (put ads?), that would be a disaster.

Not unlike the pop or sports star who suddenly gets a huge contract and stupidly begins spending loads of money in luxuries. By doing so he/she is now being forced to keep making tons of money to maintain that lifestyle, de facto becoming property of his/her management.
Funny, I switched to Firefox because I preferred the UI/UX. I'm happy with my choice.

(As people use forests, others will notice and start making tree farms.)

Stories of countless species hunted to extinction show that this is not what happens.

Let's look at the physics(?) of the economy: where does wealth actually come from? It's either from transforming things into more useful things or increasing efficiency of processes. There are limits to both of those things.

We live on a planet that's in a rough equilibrium in terms of both matter and energy.

So we have a finite maximal amount of value that we can extract from a constant amount of matter - which means that overall wealth is limited - we're just moving it around and at a finite rate at that - somebody is getting a bigger slice of this pie than the others.
The Frankfurt Kitchen is a later evolution of this Bauhaus style. Definitely more organized, and I believe the jars are no longer an issue thanks to utilizing bins/drawers for loose ingredients. Saw this in person at MoMA, and seemed like a pretty good kitchen.

> FB had picked up a significant amount of blogging features by then, including status updates, notes

It's funny, because the "notes" feature could in theory make for a very decent social blogging platform. But it's really de-emphasized in FB's UI, and if you do bother to make a "note" it doesn't seem to get much visibility in people's feeds... whether that's because FB's algorithm doesn't give notes much weight, or because longer-form "notes" posts simply aren't what people are looking for when they fire up FB.
I know, but on Gitlab you can additionally run an Emacs container to use org to export to HTML.
I am well aware of the colloquialism. My point is that it violates the site's comment guidelines.

'When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."'

This comment can be shortened to eliminate the first sentence, which is needlessly rude.

> Microsoft Invades Cuba

> Microsoft's plan to invade cuba and overthrow the government has succeeded. One Microsoft official said "It's a win-win situation. The US Government is happy and shuts up the DOJ while Microsoft institutes a monopoly within Cuba for everything from computer software to toilet paper. One more step closer to world domination. Heck, we could feed a whole development department for the cost of one developer's salary in the US. They may not know how to create an Operating System very well, but neither do our US developers."

Oh my. I wasn't sure what I was looking at and then I read that to the right of the link.
As an Australian, I'd almost rather this so then it actually makes it a problem for everyone. Then the politicians might take a good hard look at what they're trying to do.
I get downvoted all the time, I can usually guess why. But I agree that an explanation would be helpful.
Solar wind can be strong close to Sun during flares. If you can predict flares on the scale of millions of years, then likely you could reduce uncertainty to just quantum noise which is way weaker.
I'm talking about the APUs using integrated graphics. If you are using an APU with a discrete graphics card you defeat the purpose of buying an APU.
The sky is an enormous space... and then people decide to all go to the same place, like some airport's runway. It's quite easy for some idiot drone operator to fly into an approach path, maybe just to take cool photos of landing planes, but still putting everyone at risk nevertheless.

Just think about what happened with laser pointers: the sky is enormous, and yet many idiots decide to aim them at planes.
People can be intolerant without being "fascist nazis" which is the entire point of this thread.

The initial assessment of the viral video were incorrect, and there's been an outpouring of mea culpas from media personalities.

But that error does NOT mean these kids are tolerant and accepting of differences in race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, etc. Indeed, the actions of these kids shows a high degree of intolerance.

The paradox of tolerance means that tolerant people should NOT tolerate the intolerant.

Ask HN: How do I stop caffeine intake without losing productivity?
I started using caffeine with coffee and tea around 5-6 years ago, and had major benifits cognitively and enjoyed the mood boost also. However, my caffeine intake has gotten to the point where not having a cup of coffee for even 24 hours leaves me with a bad headache and fatigued. I have tried to stop using caffeine in the past, but my productivity has always dipped significantly, and with school/ work I know that a dip in productivity would have big negative effects on my life that would not be worth it. So, knowing a lot of you guys consume a lot of caffeine, is there any methods you guys have used to stop using it besides going cold turkey?
That's crazy. Can you provide the link to we need to stop terrorists quote?
I’ve had several procedures done by Steve and recommend him for anyone else looking to get this sort of work done. He is a professional and pioneer in this field.

I have one of the earlier generations of these magnets implanted and everyone needs to understand the risks. Mine has lost its charge and I hope that it isn’t due to a leak in the silicone and that it isn’t being devoured by my body. It’s probably been pushing a decade now and I am passively looking for someone to remove this implant as well as a rejecting transdermal.

If you do get any of these body mods done, realize that many aren’t going to be forever and you will need to have a removal plan.
Probably the same as every other attempt at this since the mid 90s. People who can code front-ends don't need such a tool. People who cannot code front-ends hire people who can, and still don't need such a tool.
Right, this is basically Binary Transparency, with the same sort of social mechanisms in place as Certificate Transparency has for dealing with misbehaving CAs.

The idea of storing release hashes (or public keys) in a distributed, permissionless, append-only log actually makes a lot of sense, and there are several serious proposals for how to do this, such as EthIKS:

Why would I sit in traffic when I can read/sleep/work/etc.

This might sound really weird, but I actually in ways miss my long commutes when I live and work in the burbs or was working from home full time with a short commute. The commute gave me time to unwind, listen to podcasts, and just not have to deal with people between the time I was at work and was at home.

But I don't know why folks don't push for mass transit more in cities.

In my neck of the woods, the people in the affluent burbs actually push against mass transit because it makes it too easy for “those people” to come up here. Yes my complexion associates me one of “those people”.

Qt and Gtk (or just glib) can handle file systems identically across platforms.
The US did not invade Iraq during the first Gulf War specifically because they knew it would upset the balance of power in the region such that it would cause Iran to become more powerful. Unfortunately, our politicians and military are prone to amnesia and are basically just sales reps for our defense industry.
Portable lasers nowadays are very much powerful enough to temporarily disrupt a pilot's night vision. They also light up all the micro-scratches in the windshield, making it difficult to see out. It's extremely dangerous, which is why perpetrators get found and arrested quickly. And the penalties are quite steep.
Right, I'm speaking only of a drone operator who is not seeking to be near other aircraft. For such operators, the risk of hitting something is very near zero. Surely lower than the odds of getting struck by lightning by an order of magnitude or more.
When Psychoanalysts Believed in Magic
In a couple of projects I'm currently working on, the CSS for them was causing me problems between the 2 browsers. Willing to admit that I don't have an intimate familiarity with CSS best practices. I look up what I think I'm trying to do, and then implement what I've found. I primarily use Firefox while I'm coding, and then only check with Chrome and Safari periodically. I've had to circle back to fix CSS issues specifically for WebKit not rendering as expected. Eventually, I can get to something that works across all the browsers I have access (no Android devices anywhere).
> it provides a requirement for EMPLOYEES to make backdoors when asked without letting their employers know.

I'm very curious about how this will actually work, in practice, anywhere that uses any form of source control and even a modicum of process.

I mean, do you sneak this into an unrelated pull request and hope everyone reviewing it doesn't catch it? Do these changes by committing directly to master (assuming you even can do that), and just hope no one notices? What commit message do you use?

Even if you don't put this in source control, how do you get it deployed? Do you just tell your ops team "uh, don't use the automated deployment or the artifacts the build server produced, instead install from this zip file I made on my machine"? What happens if they are deploying a new version on a day you happen to not be there?

Even assuming you manage to do all this, what happens when you're eventually caught? For example, someone finds a remote exploit bug in the code, does a blame, sees your name next to an innocent-sounding-but-clearly-misleading commit message and injection of an apparent deliberate exploit... are you allowed to explain? I would assume, especially if you can't/won't explain, that the employer could fire you on the spot, so do you just have to go along with that?
In case this would have been drone flight falling under 14CFR part 107, at least these come to mind.

- 107.41: over Tererboro airport and did not appear to have contacted ATC (air traffic control) and/or obtained waiver to operate in class B-E airspace

- 107.51: They flew above 400 feet

- 107.31: did not maintain VLOS with their drone (Visual Line of Sight)

- 107.43: interfered with operation of airport

- 107.39: possibly flew UAS over people

- 107.51: possibly within 500 feet vertically or 2000 feet horizontally from clouds

- 107.37: possibly (b) No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft so close to another aircraft as to create a collision hazard

Under CFR 14 part 107 you could request an waiver from FAA for a specific mission to fly above 400ft or outside VLOS or within different class airspace’s etc. 107.21 states also: In an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the remote pilot in command may deviate from any rule of this part to the extent necessary to meet that emergency. I suspect they had not.

Summary of FAApart 107: https://www.faa.gov/uas/media/Part_107_Summary.pdf

Note: in the us you can also fly under section 336 (model aircrafts) or under section 333 (pilot licensed remote pilots). But without checking the rules, I think differences would be minimal (e.g. ability obtain waivers, technicalities for ops near airports - e.g. 5 mile rule instead of airspace considerations).
I had one in my left ring finger for a while. It was neat, totally impractical, and way too sensitive to touch. I could feel EM fields. This might be really useful if you work with electricity, but as a developer, it was only every so often that I noticed something. It lost a lot of its power to pick up small stuff after a while.

The procedure wasn't painful because the person I went to had some numbing agent that I'm almost certain they weren't supposed to have (by saying this I can't say where I got it done so the body mod artist doesn't get in trouble). I opted for super glue instead of a stitch which also helps in the pain department.

The biggest drawback, as someone who is active, was how sensitive it was to touch. You basically have a hard lump right under some thin skin. I would end up doing push ups with that finger off the ground for a couple of years. If you banged it, it hurt like hell. I got mine removed and my girlfriend got one put in. She got hers removed a few years later. The coating on hers did end up breaking and her skin got a bit discolored where it was.
When I see "pure" I think "side-effect free" but I sure do not think that is their intention in using that term of art here. I am pretty sure they mean "pure object-oriented" to mean "impure language where everything is an object".
Firefox is a much nicer browser anyway. For a number of reasons including privacy.

You claim that Facebook has a record of abuse that google doesn't. What does facebook do that google doesn't do? You claim google's activity hasn't harmed you. How has facebook harmed you then?

Also, what evidence shows that Zuckerberg has different set of ethics and principles than Page or Tim Cook? You make general claims but you haven't provided any concrete examples. As far as I can tell, they are all equally greedy billionaires trying to make as much money as possible. Of the 3, Tim Cook probably has more to answer for considering Apple's long history in china and the use of sweatshops.

The only thing concrete you provided is a a wsj article which supports my argument. So I'm confused why you included that.

The Deathstar 75GXP issues were [quote Wikipedia] "due to the magnetic coating soon beginning to loosen and sprinkle off from the platters, creating dust in the hard disk array and leading to crashes over large areas of the platters".

Perhaps heat could have accelerated the process by loosening the material somehow, but it was definitely a design/manufacturing flaw.

- Find has some switches to sanityze the output

- Cal can be parsed (it's shows in the Unix Programming Environment, from 1983)

- Vi is a visual editor, it can be used as a front-end for ed/ex commands for I/O anyway. Kinda like the acme(1) of its day. You have both :w and :r. And, hint: it can input text from external pipes.

- Emacs is not Unix

- ls(1) is not meant to be parsed on files' content, that's the shell globbing for.

I still use Proxomitron. It's as powerful as the filters you write for it, works across all browsers (including the "hidden" ones embedded in apps and such), and the community has made patches that let you MITM TLS as well using OpenSSL (although the certificate setup needs a bit of planning and understanding.)

The only downside is that its filtering language is regex-like, so basically the equivalent of "two netcats and a sed". I've contemplated writing a filter proxy that would parse HTML into a DOM, run filtering on that tree-structured representation using something XPath or XSLT-ish, and then reserialise the modified HTML to send to browsers, but never had the time to. I suspect performance wouldn't be great with such a setup, although with MITM TLS it's already doing a double-encrypt-decrypt and I don't find that slowing me down noticeably.
