STM in Haskell is quite nice. I only had a quick play with it, and it was quite a while ago, but the idea IIRC is that you can put messages on Queues called Channels and then consume them.

Here is something I knocked up: https://github.com/mcapodici/haskelllearn/tree/master/stocke...
Can some people enumerate pros and cons of hotels vs airbnb?

I've always stayed at hiltons- granted my firm pays for it. Besides kitchen, I've never felt anything missing.
The mandate of HN is to gratify intellectual curiosity. Some stories that do that have political overlap. There's no way around it.

"There’s no precedent in American history".

Plenty of precedent in the rest of the world ... In fact, you'll have to go looking to find western countries that don't have universal public healthcare.

Yup. That happened already. (see above)
And Costco takes primary responsibility for all its products, even if relabeled, and has a generous return policy.
I mean, if you don't want to operate your business for profit, then don't. However, personally, I find it odd when business makes donations to charity. I would just take it as salary and donate it yourself. That shouldn't have any tax implications if you set the business up as a pass through entity.
2) The problem wasn't stopping it, it was fighting it back. They were too understaffed to make a defense. Given how long they held out with what they had is a good indicator that they could have repelled it with more defenses. Air support would have sufficed.

3) Fair enough, but how it was done that wasn't appropriate.
If you have an alternative outlet to suggest then I'm all ears.

Some people are asking whether you can just use a Raspberry Pi

Can you point us to what hardware (DSPs or DACs) we should use instead?

Can I use them as digital synths?

Can I use them for digital FX?

If I want to make a digital synth with lower latency than a RPi, what hardware should I use that won't be as hard as an FPGA to program?
Abolishing private insurance is kind of the point here though.
The American Constitution is the longest standing implemented constitutional document in the world. Clearly they have done something right. The American Constitution isn't optimized for perfect social harmony. Its designed to work and stand the test of time. The New Zealand constitution is only 33 years old - which is peanuts. If it doesn't stand the test of time then your opinion really doesn't hold water does it?

Brandenberg v Ohio dates back to 1969. That was only 50 years ago.
Of course, Youtube is free, unless you have a Youtube Red subscription, in which case you don't see ads.

And the fact of the matter is, the ads they do have don't produce enough revenue to support most creators.

I suppose you could argue that's because Google's cut is too high, but in Youtube's case (as opposed to, say, Apple's App Store), I feel Google is providing a substantial service—hosting, encoding, and distributing a huge amount of data.
The problem is the students are being educated and may not be aware of PRCs views on Taiwan or on the two countries histories.

Also, learning a language is more than memorizing phrases it’s important for the students to be exposed US/UKs (target demographic) context, which this does.
LED bulbs are the worst thing. They use less energy but are just awful compared to incandescent light. I've seriously considered switching to candles or oil lamps for home at night.
Bike lanes in the US have always been in the areas where it is more dangerous to ride. The mere presence of a bike lane instead of an undecorated shoulder seems to confuse many as to what is possible or acceptable.

Riding and moving at speed with traffic will always be safer than getting boxed in.

Bike only trails are typically filled with weaving inline-skaters, people walking four abreast, and other hazards. Again, you're safer and faster when you stick to the roads.

This typifies the attitude of "there aught to be a law" held by individuals (usually those who have no intention of cycling seriously) waiting for the state to take action and spend money to solve a non-problem.

The self-starter's solution is to take action and build up your cycling skills.
In Washington, no income tax, there are 12 billionaires. Of course, there are constant calls for a state income tax to squeeze them. But I bet Washington wouldn't be home to Amazon and Microsoft if there was a state income tax.
“All plans include all features.”

We arrived at this after many years building multiple products. In all products we built we have just 3-4 plans. All features are included in all plans (including the trial plan). Only the usage amount differs from plan to plan. This makes it so easy to explain to end customers and leaves your engineering team with valuable time to deal with improving product. Further the number of billing related support requests decrease drastically. Your support staff also need less training.

The advantages are many to keep billing simple. This has been our experience. YMMV.
Running the oscillators at a ridicilously high rate allows the use of non-bandlimited, trivial algorithms. Band-limiting is not a solved problem, all the algorithms get messy in different dynamic scenarios. As to why design a custom FPGA bitstream for this? It could actually be a reasonable fit if you actually make the waveform generators directly in the LUTs and latches and run the whole thing at 24MHz.
That's fair. Of course, I haven't heard many "censor the internet" calls in regards to 3guys1hammer, though that may just be because of the age. (3guys1hammer was the first that came to mind, though the quantity of ISIS and Cartel execution videos is also rather high)
I don't know if you're referring to Beacon Street in Somerville, but...

Even though I actually haven't ridden that way since they built the cycle track, I live in the neighborhood and the cycle track has looked awkward to me since they put it in. Back when I commuted home down Beacon I would bomb down the slight downhill to the Star Market at 25 or so, pretty far out into the "car" lane, because I wanted to be able to see, and have time to react to, any cars attempting to pull out of the side streets.

To the grandparent's point, the cycle track is really only compatible with laid back putt-putting. I think if you were to carry any speed at all, you'd eventually get T-boned by a car pulling out of the many poor-visibility side streets ... or you'd T-bone the car yourself ... with your face.

So if I'm out on a ride (not just going to the store or something) I think I'll avoid the expensive new cycletrack, thank you.
Virtual Data Scientist
As there is a big gap between the demand and supply of data scientists, what is the future of this job position?

Ah, that's excellent. Thanks for your time
Australia has medicare and a public health care system to go with it. And it also has multiple private health insurers and a private health care system to go with it. In a way they compete with each other. The private health care system has better hospitals and equipment. But the public health system has lower costs. If the private system gets too expensive, you would just go public. If you can afford the insurance, you go private (also there are some tax incentives for higher earners to stop them just using the public system). Private system provides the best in care. Public system provides a base level of care for everyone. It actually works very well.

An American friend told me that the US health care system will never be fixed. There is no way it can. That there are too many people with too much power getting filthy rich through it.
> Yes. Airbnb, “hosts”, and “guests” are all bad actors stealing from the commons.

While there might be some bad actors, the ability to sell/utilize unused space is very valuable. When I moved to Seattle a few years ago after college, I wanted to explore different neighborhoods to find out where I wanted to live. I found an Airbnb that let me rent out a persons mother-in-law house for $1000 for a month which is like 1/3rd of hotel rates and way more spacious because the alternative is that they would just let that space sit empty making it useless.
No Mega Man X? Blasphemy!
I think the first Costco was located south of downtown Seattle, south of the stadiums? Or is it the one that is actually in Kirkland relatively close to the 405?
Shame and peer pressure are also good things often. They help us collaborate and prevent us from acting selfishly. We shame those who do things like litter or steal which prevents this behaviour. If you steal from your friends you will be excluded from their social circle which is enough reason to not do it.

A Week of Outrages
There are. I'm staying in one now.

It is somewhat concerning though, as there are big signs in the lobby of just about every luxury condo building stating — in English — that short-term rental is illegal, and you could face large fines and jail time.
It's also incorrect. The digital displays were introduced with the 737 Next Generation in 1997.

The Max cockpit eliminated the five remaining standby gauges, but all primary flight information had already been moved to flat screens.
What I'm finding somewhat interesting is that Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) appears to be sinkholing that DNS request for me (I'm currently inside Australia - 127.0.0.3 is being returned) whereas Google (8.8.8.8) does not (51.38.113.224 returned). Doesn't look like it's just me either - ViewDNS [1] is currently showing 'www.archive.is' returning 127.0.0.3 from Sydney.

"Medicare for All" is an umbrella political slogan, backed by many different interpretations, timelines, and concrete policy proposals.

This article is about the Sanders plan, which is radical (in the non-judgmental sense). It is more generous/costly than typical non-US single-payer systems, such as Canada's. Even Medicare itself incorporates private insurance, via "Medicare Plus".

So "abolish private insurance" is actually an outlier position among the Democratic field and is not implied by a naive interpretation of "Medicare for All".
In Finland, we have Kela, which provides many services including health and wellbeing support for all residents:

I am an expat from the U.S. living in Finland on a work permit and still qualify for Kela support.

Voluntary health insurance does exist here, e.g. employee health benefit, but plays a small role compared with the National Health Insurance.

It's more substance than usual for sure. My point was that it's still not going to prevent the next terrorist from doing more or less the same thing. The only way to make this kind of regulation sensible is to stop chasing implementation details, and have some standard testing protocol for actual performance (e.g. rate of fire), then set limits on that.

Magazine capacity limits are relevant in principle, but the problem is enforcement - they're just too simple to effectively regulate. Even defining what a limit is can be hard, given that it's a box with a spring, so the limit inherently depends on what cartridges can fit and feed. As Canada has found out, this means that a 5-round magazine can be a 15-round magazine sometimes. But even when you have a clear definition that accounts for all such shenanigans, good luck enforcing it when one can make high-cap mag bodies by cutting legal ones, and duck taping them together. Again, it's a metal box with a spring, not even curved in many calibers; most complicated parts are the follower and the feed lips, and those are the same regardless of capacity.

I'd still look at their definitions first, though, because in most countries (and US states) that limit magazine capacity, a full-sized magazine that is blocked internally by some kind of pin is perfectly legal, and yet that pin takes about 50 seconds to remove without breaking the magazine. There's a lot more security theater about gun laws in most places than people realize.
"Collusion" was so central to Russiagaters that the buffoonish Luke Harding even named his silly book that: https://www.amazon.com/Collusion-Secret-Meetings-Russia-Help.... (To see how buffoonish, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ikf1uZli4g.)

The conditions you describe are bikable. A shower would be essential. Those who are willing need no special accommodations.
You're probably leaving money on the table with only a free and a paid plan.

Mainly because you'll loose conversions without a high price point third plan that acts as an anchor and makes the middle plan seem like really good value.

This is true. Being poor for prolonged time fuck with your mindset and rationality, their basic rationale of what's good is cloudy at best. Adult education of rationality for prisoners and underprivileged is where these resources should go.
I still don't understand adding type checkers to dynamic languages beyond Javascript, where there was no other alternative. I view the gradual type checker craze as an admission that dynamically typed languages are a failed experiment. So why would you not just switch to a language that's designed with static typing in mind.
> some reason think they are in a race.

When you see people out on the sidewalk, most of them are walking ... some of them are jogging ... and some of them are running. I don't think the runners think they are in a race (though they may or may not be training for one.)
It's highly disputed. We just don't hear about that outside alternative sources. Taibbi alludes to this in the OP:

I didn’t really address the case that Russia hacked the DNC, content to stipulate it for now. I was told early on that this piece of the story seemed “solid,” but even that assertion has remained un-bolstered since then, still based on an “assessment” by the intelligence services that always had issues, including the use of things like RT’s “anti-American” coverage of fracking as part of its case. The government didn’t even examine the DNC’s server, the kind of detail that used to make reporters nervous.

Words like "wingnuttery" and "moon landing" weaken your case. If you get enough publications to print something, you can make a terrifically long list of citations, but what does that prove? Quality matters, not quantity, and the quality of journalism devoted to this case has been astonishingly low, as Taibbi shows. As he says:

We won’t know how much of any of this to take seriously until the press gets out of bed with the security services and looks at this whole series of events all over again with fresh eyes, as journalists, not political actors.
While he’s far from my favourite philosopher, there’s a similarity between this article and Sartre’s discussion of Bad Faith (itself similar to Marx’s alienation) as both discuss the societal pressure to conform to roles and the conflict inherent in attempting to do so.

As the article observes, the liberty of expression offered by social media may itself compromise our individuality and authenticity by pressuring us to stage-manage an image of ourselves compatible with societal norms: an image that we aspire to but can never fully realise.

Pew Research: Gender pay gap has narrowed, but changed little in past decade
> I guess it's no more exploitative than employing anyone else.

I think it’s way more exploitative because you’re not leveraging a person’s (by average definition) “strengths” to your/the company’s benefits, you’re using their weaknesses (and weaknesses are relative, but I’d say the list of traits above most people will probably think might complicate or hinder the persons long term success or happiness - in fact it could easily lead to one sided exploitation).
Prevention should also apply to health care system but that we overlook in the name of freedom of choice.
Interesting slides, I wish we could hear the presentation audio. What's going on in slide 22?
It's not complicated, it's just not intuitive.

1) Open the app

2) Make it start streaming

3) Make it full screen

4) Swipe up from the bottom of the screen (this is the part she never remembers)

5) Activate AirPlay and select the right device (in my house they are Apple TVs so they have good names, but if it were in every TV, they would have strange names

5b) If you've never streamed to this TV before, put in the auth code

At this point it will play to the TV. However, since I have an older iPad, it plays a 16:9 image in a 4:3 box on a 16:9 TV, so it doesn't use the whole screen. So then you have to go to the TV and change it to "zoom" mode to use the whole screen, which of course isn't at full resolution at that point.

> Around me in SF an entry level home at $1M would have a tax bill of $10,000. But it’s locked forever.

Property tax in CA goes up 2% every year. So,

year 0: $10,000
year 1: $10,200
year 2: $10,404

And so on... maybe it doesn't go up as fast as you'd like (until you own a place) but it is by no means locked in.

Also ProfitWell plugs in to Stripe and does a pretty good job with analytics for that for free too.

Flame mode on.

Can anybody explain to me why people seem to prefer using unsafe and interpreted/slow languages (Python, Ruby, Javascript... which is only fast now because companies have invested millions on it) and then spend a ton of resources writing "type checkers" for these inherently unsafe languages (Typescript, Pyre, Pyright) Why don't they simply use languages that are already safe and fast by design? (Rust, OCaml...)

The speed is only an issue if you are storing all of your data in a decentralised network, but do you need to? What you want to persist is your identity, but you perhaps you don't need to replicate your data on other people's servers, for an indeterminate period of time. Furthermore, IPFS relies on DHT protocols which have shown to have scaliability issues.

At Blockstack, the name persists via the blockchain, which can be slow, but is only an initial barrier on identity creation. After that, you own your own data via gaia hub, which can be stored wherever you like, for example behind an LB with fast i/o on Digital Ocean. You just run docker-compose up on our master on an image of choice on digital ocean for example: https://docs.blockstack.org/storage/overview.html

We are looking to automate deployments for user friendly rollouts but I strongly recommend checking out gaia. Gaia is not dependent on the blockchain, and can still be persisted or duplicated via networks like IPFS is someone so chose to. We have an IPFS driver request in and are looking to get to it with some eng cycles.
I was thinking the exact same thing the other day when I was listening to NPRs Antitrust series. The talk about this for a bit but the main difference is that Amazon pitches itself as a platform/portal. Essentially any company can it as medium to sell things. It's anti consumer since they are now selling their own brand while promoting it on this so called portal. Costco on the other hand is a whole seller. Companies work with contracts and agreements with Costco to arrange for the selling goods. On top if that, Costco does not explcity promote their goods. If you look at salts, they are equally placed for you to select and the customer can decide themselves.
Maybe because there are so many incompetent PMs? The PM working I'm working with does not know the product feature set (except for the very basics), does not have any vision or goals, does not have a systematic approach to talking to collecting feedback from customers. What's on our backlog changes dramatically and when project ends we basically start with a new product backlog. When customers have questions on basic stuff he has to defer to engineering.

Any competent hire can be useful, but hiring good PMs is maybe even harder than good engineers. So people bitch.
Say more. You haven't made a point. The American Constitution was ratified June 21, 1788. Thats 231 years ago.
If I understand correctly, you are looking for categories of specialties which may fall under the broad umbrella of full-stack. First, mobile and web front-ends are distinct skill sets. Aside from your list, it may also make sense to include some basic networking skill, knowledge of network protocols like TCP/IP, HTTP, and familiarity with relevant operating systems.

> If only luxury housing gets built eventually the amount of middle class housing will become too scarce

New Yorker here. Bunch of luxury buildings came up in my neighbourhood. The highest-income renters in my building decamped. As a result, my landlord reduced rents.

Keep in mind that lots of present-day middle-class housing (e.g. Harlem) was once luxury housing.

Any radical voice that made the news, in any light, has gotten a larger following. Every single time a moderate brings a radical to debate it is a net gain for the radical.

You can measure this by simply plotting the number of various social media followings such voices have, and plotting them against time and marking notable appearances.

If someone is so radical they reject all authority, whether it's political or scientific or religious, and they can justify any conspiracy that fits their world view, then they have constructed an immunity to information.

Whatever evidence you give, no matter how hot your take is, no matter what your message or framing is, hosting such voices on your platform becomes an enabler.

I'm not for expanded censorship of ideology or debate. I'm for better prosecution of incitement of violence. This should also include spreading of false information designed to create a false sense of distress and push people to violence.

Whether you think this applies to the alt-right, ISIS, or antifa doesn't matter. What's important is combating the rampant incitement of violence that social media is enabling.
