I think it's sad that the vocal minority was able to alter this decision. As the letter mentions, the project would have brought $27b in revenue to the state. This magnitude of revenue is material considering the fact that the state only collected $76b in taxes in the last reported fiscal year.

I think there's reason to debate whether large corps should be able to hold an auction like this, but given the place we find ourselves in today, there's no question this would have been a huge win for NY.
What do you mean by reverse proxy?
The most prominent programming languages designed specifically for mathematical purposes (Mathematica, MatLab, Julia, R, Fortran), all have 1-based indexing. That should be a sign to you that 1-based indexing has a legitimate mathematical rationale. Djikstra wasn't speaking on behalf of the mathematics community. The idea that if you have deep faith in mathematical beauty that you'll come to the same conclusion is absurd.
Does that matter though? I guess he had the sense to not cross that line explicitly in his work even though he may have crossed it in real life (I would bet a large amount of money that he did).

I suspect I'll never get why the notion of giving a tax handout to a company that's one of the most valuable in the world shouldn't be a non-starter.

> Incredibly, I have heard city and state elected officials who were opponents of the project claim that Amazon was getting $3 billion in government subsidies that could have been better spent on housing or transportation. This is either a blatant untruth or fundamental ignorance of basic math by a group of elected officials. The city and state 'gave' Amazon nothing. Amazon was to build their headquarters with union jobs and pay the city and state $27 billion in revenues. The city, through existing as-of-right tax credits, and the state through Excelsior Tax credits - a program approved by the same legislators railing against it - would provide up to $3 billion in tax relief, IF Amazon created the 25,000-40,000 jobs and thus generated $27 billion in revenue. You don't need to be the State's Budget Director to know that a nine to one return on your investment is a winner.

Actually, you do. Amazon already created jobs in NYC, without any handouts needed. Google recently announced they'd create more jobs, and they didn't expect a handout to do so. By the above logic, a 9:1 return for Amazon jobs is a good deal. What about the Google jobs? Do those count as infinite return?

If so, more infinite returns, and less 9:1 returns, please.

Or is there something else at work here?
> why not simply define functions in the language rather than using the macro system ?

Modifying control flow, for one. A classic example is anaphoric if. If you want to implement that, you can't do it just as a straight forward function. It needs to be a function that modifies syntax, aka a macro.

You're not paranoid in the least. My family always went to great lengths to ensure we never had to drink tap water. Always buying and stocking mineral water from respectable brands.

In my generation I'm going a bit further and using filters for shower/tap water. And I plan to test the mineral water brands we consume at least once a year.

Whenever I see people claiming that Julia is fast, I feel like they are cheating.

It is only fast if you don't count the "compilation" times.

For example, every time you are trying to plot something ```using Plots```, it will take over 40 seconds to compile the Plots package.

Then, you have the large memory usage. In my experience, plotting in Julia requires approximately 14x more RAM than in python or Matlab.

Julia has an awful experience, really.

The $27B is a present value sum of future cash flows, not an annual revenue.
All or very very nearly all host not present rentals in NYC are illegal. That the software allows such listings is evidence that Airbnb doesn’t care. I suspect rather the opposite that they value the revenue they get from these illegal transactions.
If google creates jobs in long island city, they would get the same handout though. Any company locating there does: it's a program NY state and NYC made to encourage development outside of Manhattan.
So these apartments and condos don't have rules where you just complain to management and they kick you (the leaseholder) out?
I found this library many moons ago when looking for a credit card formatting solution.

It had so many bugs when I tried it, and it has at least as many now.

For example: in the first demo, type the card number 1234567812345678. Works nice, eh? Now try again with 1233567... oh wait, let me go back and change that second "3" to a "4". And it's broken.
Not to shabby indeed ! Now have to check whats up with Hy.
The community generally wants extremely restrictive building regulations. We're currently going through this in Edinburgh, which is a world heritage site as well.

An extra complication here is that the communal stair wells of apartments are comunally owned, so landlords attaching keyboxes outside the door are usually violating the property rights of their neighbours.
If you have a blog running at blog.mycompany.com, that is not going to be as effective for SEO as if the blog were at mycompany.com/blog. You want your primary domain getting the credit. But it’s also not ideal to have a separate subfolder if you have two different services (blog and main product).

So the best solution is to reverse proxy so that internet traffic hits /blog, but the worker is actually forwarding the traffic to your internal service.
Cuomo isn't running for president, so no need to shovel money into Andy's coffers. Proof is that Amazon isn't looking for a replacement.
I see. So, the legality of short-term rentals in NYC hinge on the presence of the host during the rental. And, that's not easily detectable by just scraping Airbnb.

I still think it'd be straight forward to scrape reviews off Airbnb that have telltale signs of the host not being present e.g. lockbox mentions. Filing complaints/lawsuits against even a small minority should create a chilling effect for everyone else who's running illegal hotels.
Edit: OK, I'm wrong about plaintiffs' firms. I see that it's trial lawyers, who have traditionally supported Democrats, who have pressed Senate Democrats to oppose legislation to control patent trolls. And that it's Republicans who have spearheaded such legislation.

So why, then, is a Trump appointee playing to patent trolls in the audience in East Texas?
I mean declaring a property to be rentable is much harder than it ought to be. This is what the hotel association NYC has spent years lobbying for. So something new like AirBnB cannot harm their market.

Simply false. These are the steps involved in "declaring" your property to be rentable:

Step 1a: If you rent your place, ask your landlord for permission.
Step 1b: If you live in a condo building, ask your condo association for permission.
Step 1c: If you own your own house, ask your spouse for permission.

Step 2: Put an ad on Craigslist advertising your rental.

Step 3: There is no step 3.

Declaring a property to be rentable is literally a trivial exercise unless you're going for short-term (aka "transient" or "hotel") rentals.
C++20 Design Is Complete: Modules, Coroutines in C++20
Plenty of landlords won't want to do battle with the lucrative tenants who've rented out half the building and always pay on time.

Nor do they really want to do all that work - evictions cost money, and are hard! - just to have another AirBnBer sign the replacement lease.
They are not leading people to problematic posts on purpose - however, from what we know, I think we can reasonably assume they are tuning the recommender to maximize engagement - which leads to more problematic and controversial posts be recommended.
I think #1 is a great suggestion. I’d expand that to say the OP should be explicite about what they are asking. I.e. “I need $x to survive. Rather than selling this community I’d prefer to ask everyone for $y”.
> At least you are not relying on legalese and other agreements to safeguard your interests.

In a democracy, our rights are protected by the legal system. So your argument that it is all about "setting up your own system" is specious.
> Publication does not mean endorsement of the view. You see this in the disclaimer in all the editorials: "The views expressed are those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the position of [publication]". They can publish, on their platform, views that they disagree with. On that point, you are simply wrong.

Publication is, essentially, endorsement. Let's say I hosted a blog, and then I decided on my blog to constantly host people whom deny climate change. I can add a disclaimer to the end of all of their posts and say 'these represent views I personally do not endorse', but if the entirety of my blog consisted of those sort of views, people would naturally question what I really believe. At a certain point it is endorsement depending on how odious the behavior is. If the Washington Post decided to publish an article on how black people are responsible for all the evils in America, that would be a blemish on their reputation even if they added said disclaimer.

> Contrary to the ideals of America, even. Should I be able to get you banned from HN? If they don't, should I say that HN endorses your views, and get a howling mob to shut HN down?

If you haven't realized yet, this is why flagging and voting down posts exists on HN. It exists so that the users can self-curate content and remove things that are considered particularly odious. If you consider that contrary to American ideals, then why are you participating on a site contrary to your beliefs? Posters on HN can and do shut down people espousing alt-right beliefs.

>That's why I'm opposed to societal censorship. If a mob can shut down the alt right for being too far outside society, they can shut down you and me when they decide that we're too far outside the new norm.

This is the answer from someone scared of progress or change. This was the exact argument made during the Civil Rights era by people who were afraid of black people gaining rights: They were scared of mobs shutting them down, stopping them from being racist. Does this mean the mob is always right? No, but it does mean that you should strongly consider whether or not your beliefs are truly outdated.

Society as I mentioned evolves and changes over time. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. I would hope you would agree that society evolving to give more rights to people previous deprived of them to be a good thing. And I would also hope you realize that the reason why there's such a strong reaction against the alt-right is because they want to specifically take away those rights from minority populations.

And with regards to the baker thing, you managed to miss my point entirely. My point is that your concept of American ideals is flawed and broken: Because we have not and never applied those ideals equally. The baker case was never truly about endorsement or religious liberties: It was about entrenching the right to discriminate against minorities.
Ah. I now see the blog post is about spheres, not 2D space. It could have been more clear about what problem it was setting out to solve.
Back in the early 90s, I was at a government facility. On one of the walls, there were several pictures of the Chernobyl reactor taken from several hours to days after the explosion and from a unique perspective: directly above (albeit from a very high altitude). In effect, the viewer was looking right down into the glowing core of the still-unfolding disaster. Quite unsettling.

But when you pay a dividend, you lose a small % in tax, or the delay between receiving the dividend and reinvesting it. That % loss adds over time and makes dividend structures less efficient than direct reinvestment. You are correct when the business cannot grow using the money, but BRK is an capital investment company, so I don't think that's an issue for them.

I understand the tragedy of the commons, cities' race to the bottom, Amazon not needing breaks, so on.

I also think some of this could have been avoided if people felt like they were part of the process, instead of being told by the state "Hey we negotiated with a behemoth company for them to take over your community - trust me, you'll like it".
Asbestos causes cancer like this, more or less, I think. It's not like silica is inherently toxic.
> there's no question this would have been a huge win for NY.

But a loss for the US as a whole, assuming the HQ still gets built, but without special tax exemptions.
Thanks, corrected. Even so, still a ton of revenue.
So in other words, you're suggesting that the handout was baked in from the get go because the HQ was in Queens, and Amazon being Amazon had nothing to do with it?

If that's the case, the media have done a terrible job reporting this.
> There are armies of middle managers that could do that at any firm. By the time you're middle management, you know what the firm does. Just pick one of them, pay them a little bit more, and pick another one if it goes wrong.

If only that were the case. Most middle managers are folks who have reached their zenith; they are good enough for their roles but not good enough for the next level. Usually its due to some variation of ego/communication issues.

Despite this though, I kinda agree with you that this should be tried more often. From personal observation, it appears that many companies don't have the flexibility of experimenting with this approach.
It is political. Andrei Iancu did not appear from thin air (nor did Ajit Pai), they are political appointees.

Maybe we don't discuss the proximate cause of the problem for some strategic reason, I don't know. But when we don't, we spiral into unproductive discussions about the innate morality of all patents. Maybe that's good but isn't going to solve anything in the foreseeable future.

And for the record, my biggest worry too is a fatal patent shakedown for my unlaunched startup. Actually I'm surprised the trolls haven't started selling "insurance" given the climate of fear they've created.

Your team also never explains how you mods interpret a guideline or substantiation, just unilaterally say it violates and pray for classical conditioning as if you want community standards to be decided by the community

What's convenient about Swift as a language which "tries to do everything" is that you can mix and match. Sometimes it's convenient to use different programming paradigms for different components.
That's the trade off I guess, because of the JIT you have a slow initialization followed by very fast code.

That's not really good for a lot of workflows though (if you're running a smallish script over and over for example).
Thank you for answering the question! I will look into Financial Times.
I think you're right that Fargate and Lambda often serve different use cases.

However, I think containers and Lambda can and do serve this particular use case -- handle an API request and forward it to a different system. And Fargate is a good stand-in for containers generally. I wouldn't expect much different performance by using ECS or EKS or EC2 -- it's still going to be a load balancer forwarding to a container instance.

Definitely not perfect, but I think it works as a general approximation. For this particular common use case, you have three options. Was curious to see the perf differences between them.

Is the Key:Values team (nice choice of name by the way!) familiar with Bryan Cantrill's talk on 'Principles of Technology Leadership'?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9QMGAtxUlAc

It seems to resonate pretty closely with what you're building, so if it helps align or educate anyone (candidates, recruiters, or the team) that'd be neat.

Edit: FWIW, the talk uses the term 'principle' to indicate what your site calls a 'value'; in practice I've seen tech companies talk about their 'core values' and so I think yours is very valid.

The Antitrust Case Against Facebook
Immigrants and permanent residents have representation, as do felons.

Congresspeople represent all the residents of their district, not just the citizens. While non-citizens are not allowed to vote on their choice of representative, they are allowed to call their local congressperson and express their opinions on upcoming legislation, and can volunteer in political campaigns. Permanent residents are also allowed to donate money to political campaigns.

At least in CA and NY, non-citizens do regularly take advantage of their rights within the US political system.

I hear this alot about Racket as if this is the value proposition and Racket stands alone with these features. Languages like Ruby are routinely used to build DSLs (RSpec, Rails, ServerSpec, Chef...etc). I would like to hear somebody address why Racket is superior to languages like Ruby for creating DSLs, because it for sure doesn't stand alone. Metaprogramming is a feature in a LOT of languages. I'm not arguing for those languages, I'm arguing Lisp languages aren't the only ones capable of creating other languages and a comparison would be more useful than repeated emphasis on unique ability for the task which I don't think is necessarily true.
You are right, but at times I find it difficult to collect the variety on my own -- without knowing what side of story each news source would present makes it unrealistically time consuming to do so.
