Yeah thats my thought as well, after having a house for 5 years. It's only 1700 sqft but its cost about $100k to replace 1) the siding with hardie board 2) the roof 3) all the bathrooms and kitchen

This house was built in 1981 and basically had zero renovations. I can't imagine trying to remodel a 5000 sqft house after this! I think a lot of these giant McMansion neighborhoods will fall into disrepair after a few decades unless they're in a place where the property values and wages are constantly going up.
Just one data point, I’m from Argentina, we drink Mate here (as in yerba mate with a straw) the custom is to drink it very hot (around 80 deg celcius) and never knew any one with oesophageal cancer. You start drinking it as a child with sugar and cold (60 deg) and you just get used to it. After a couple of years you drink it bitter (Mate Amargo) and hot.
Google doesn't have to be literally the only search provider to have a monopoly. It just has to have virtually all the market share (it does) and high barriers to entry (it does). Microsoft had a monopoly on operating systems in the nineties, despite the existence of other OS's.
FSOL is great for washing the dishes to, but I find they can be a bit too dissonantly clicky for coding, reading etc. But don't get me wrong, they're one of my favourite outfits and used to play them all the time when I did radio.

This would have the unintended consequence of poor people voluntarily going to prison as a means of payment. The social implications of this would be devistating. class stratification is already a major issue in the country. The last thing we need is literal debtors prison.

You got me thinking how AlphaGo reinvented the style of Go for human players. A real AI taught one of our programming languages would code in a way that would be alien to us.

Whitney’s code is fascinating. I thought that someone might use a good C IDE to rename symbols to longer human readable names, but, that would harm the terseness of the code.
Sure, but that doesn't change my point.
I'd rather not be too specific, but in the lower mainland in BC. Yeah, the one that used to be just down the road from me that's about to be turned, first into a giant pit, then into a large complex of highrises.
The list of reasons not to use a third party CDN in this article are:

1) It might have bugs. You are trusting someone else to run the infrastructure.

2) They might choose profits over customer experience "because they are a business".

3) They might capture and sell/leak metadata on where/when your customers visit your site.

The author then goes on to describe using Route 53 and Amazon EKS to deploy your own CDN. (Which doesn't seem to address points 1, 2, or 3 at all?)

There's not a single mention of Cloudfront.

Something doesn't add up here.
Great, let's start by making bad usernames illegal and you can be the first to try out the program.
It'll be heard, but no one will care. Everyone who disagrees with their direction just gets ignored, because they know you're powerless to do anything to them.
just look at his research papers.
You can deploy and AMP page, and set a meta header that announces it exists. This is not an explicit opting in to Google's AMP cache though. That's what the author means by implicit license.

1 almost certainly requires zoning changes to allow multi-family housing in the places people hype these kinds of huge houses today. Don't count on the neighbors to support that, and keep in mind the ones with money will use that money to buy influence.
Application-Level Logging Best Practices
Yes. Like "bounce to scroll" by Apple.
I believe it was this one: https://www.amazon.com.au/Anti-Spy-Wireless-Detector-Listeni...
(note the price will probably be in AUD)

As mentioned, the RF detector is overly sensitive to the point where you have to turn down the sensitivity quite low to make it usable, which means you have to be within about half a metre distance to the transmitter to detect it. I haven't found any real bugs yet, but it will reliably detect mobile phones, wireless access points, etc.

It is pretty easy to spot cameras with it, I have hidden my phone around the house as a test and there is a noticeable glint from the camera lens when looking through the filter with the IR strobe on, so I feel confident it would find any real hidden cameras.

My only other gripe is it doesn't include an Australian power supply, so I had to purchase one separately. Overall it's a nice product, obviously not pro-tier but good for the price.

OP and Inkstone editor here. I think you raised a really, really interesting point.

One thing I think many people overlook in China's social credit system is its stated goal – to create a system that rewards good behavior and punishes bad behavior – and whether this system can really tackle self-destructive behavior you describe, like debt.

And what's going to happen to people who're entering a debt spiral, and are as a result further punished by the system? Does the idea of social credit mean these people are simply abandoned?
I don't understand how "this is how all powerful nations operate" is "taking sides". I thought it was quite the opposite.

I am absolutely not saying that China (or anyone else) can't be accused of propaganda (I mean, I'm pretty sure it's literally in their government playbook after all), just that it's funny (can I say 'funny' instead of 'amused' or am I not allowed to derive entertainment in any form?) when people from a country with a strong history of international propaganda get all upset and act like it's unfair when another country does it.

It'd be much more appropriate to just say "hey, looks like the Chinese propaganda machine is producing X at the moment, think twice if you read this kind of article / see this kind of endorsement / etc."
Great plan. People spend most of their time in the kitchen these days anyway. Huge homes with giant formal dining rooms and formal living rooms are a waste of money and space. I'll take a home with a comfy, well-equipped kitchen and small family dining space any day.
Proper standards bodies rarely create anything at all. They only standardize existing practice.
I'd love a copy of the notes if you have them.

>21 states will suspend your driver's license if you fall behind on student debt.

I can't find anything on this. I can find 22 states that can suspend some kind of state issued license if you fall behind on your student loan debt, but only 2 that say they can suspend your driver's license, and apparently those 2 don't really do it very often.

I think you misread an article talking about professional licenses.
“How buildings learn” is a book every software engineer should read. The thesis of the book is that we predominantly take an aesthetic judgement of buildings as static spaces and this pushes us into processes that are big design up front.

HBL makes the argument that all buildings will intrinsically change in need and purpose over time and “great” buildings are those who have adaptability built in. He points to Building 20 at MIT as an example of a building that was accidentally built to be adaptable and generally ignored within architecture circles but beloved by the building inhabitants.

4 of the first 8 comments in this thread are from a relentless self-promoter, evident in both their self-references in this thread and their submission history to HN in the last two years being almost solely comprised of their own articles on Medium.
I think the OP stated a "what if", ie "What if CORS didn't exist?" I also think you could argue "What if outline loaded articles in an iframe?" (and at the same time "what if same-origin policy wasn't a thing?") If it was technologically possible, would it be infringing?
I assume that Skype doesn't have those rules just to be annoying. They didn't start off with them -- they added them in response to some kind of problem. Perhaps it's a problem you wouldn't have if you're not a huge company, in which case you could have a great business. Or perhaps it's a problem that would be even worse for a small startup, such as rampant credit card fraud from some locations. (It's worse for a small company because a disproportionate number of your customers will be fraudsters who were blocked by everyone else, and you'll lose a huge amount of money right away.)

It can be hard to find out why rules exist, but very worthwhile.
Interesting - we're contemplating buying our forever home in the bay area. Currently living in a 3 story townhouse style that's very walkable to whole foods, parks, caltrain etc. with a modest mortgage but considering moving into the more suburban areas / driving areas so we have a yard to set kids free.

What about the big house is owning you? Mortgage and maintenance?

That someone enjoys their home is not enough to say they made a great choice just a good one. People grow attached to all sorts of things.

My personal experience is people are most likely to enjoy a home that’s easy for them to afford as it never feels like a burden.
The dystopian angle to healthcare rationing is the realization that we already do ration care. We do it with dollars rather than by need or outcome.
It's fun to know someone has tried this, but this doesn't seem a very practical thing to do. You are either in the CDN business and you'll have your own hardware, or you are not and you'll want to just get the professionals to take care of it. This inbetween state is a bit odd unless you have weird requirements.
I'm wealthy enough to live in a place where commuting by public transit is practical. I should move to a car-only distance to save money, but end up spending it on the luxury of convenience.

Datashat also has a mix for the Near Mint web radio program which is essentially Businessfunk No. 4: https://mixcloud.com/Resonance/near-mint-8th-march-2016-data...

Notably, Businessfunk mixes are made of ‘library music,’ i.e. stock musical clipart. Gotta say, I've lately heard a bunch of rather good music from libraries, e.g. the entire soundtrack of ‘IASIP’ (though that one is from “production music” libraries, i.e. more specialized for film, television and the like).
> You can pretty easily hire someone to write code if you have the cash

Perhaps if you have quite a gigantic pile of cash. In most cases, trying to outsource your company's core product development is a recipe for very severe disappointment. The technical cofounder's role is to understand absolutely as much about the business as possible, and constantly integrate that evolving knowledge into the product. It's not really a job that stops and there is almost no way to compensate someone by the hour to do it... without a dragon's hoard to start.
Does anyone really need this? Email is already a prime security threat and attack angle- now you can get phished from within the mail app. Awesome!
The federal government took over student loan financing, not state governments. The federal government doesn't run state DMVs, and they don't make rules about suspending state licenses. And the OP is mistaken about 21 states suspending driver's licenses.

Also the Federal government used to guarantee the debt. Now they finance it directly. They were always the ones on the hook.
Kubernetes solves the problem of deployment orchestration and that is probably problem #5209 on the list of problems you’ll need to solve to run a CDN.
How about they investigate geographic monopolies, forced rental of modems and routers that are cheaper to buy, arbitrary rate increases, and terrible customer service? I am so frustrated by these regulatory efforts against ISPs that don’t actually help consumers. No one cares about “privacy.” 1/3 of customers are incapable of even understanding the concept. The industry loves these probes into “privacy” so we don’t probe how they rip us all off everyday.
There was a case a few years ago of a hotel near where I live which had a maintenance person also installing hidden cameras.
As I said above, I'm pretty taken with FastMail. It's got an incredibly zippy web client, which I value a lot. Besides the privacy aspect, they just have a better product.
I also highly recommend the book “Difficult Conversations”, which has a similar overall idea with a slightly different way of framing and breaking down the hard parts of these conversations.

Well, like 2 amazonians left.
Totally agree. Once you've got enough rooms to cover everyone's needs (kids don't have to share a room etc), pretty much any extra expansion is just more stuff to clean and maintain. Or if you're rich enough, more stuff to waste money on someone else cleaning and maintaining.

I probably have more of an epicurean outlook than most, but surplus stuff just feels like more stuff for me to worry about.

Plus it takes ages to even get around in really big houses and you're always shouting down the hallway to find where someone is.
CORS is just a security feature, it does not imply anything about copyright or terms of use.
That sounds like Reader View. I don’t think copyright law requires rendering the entire webpage exactly as the server requests.
It’s certainly possible to draft a list of true needs, and wants that are unlikely to change, and systemically search for or build a property that meets them without introducing new needs or wants. For us, it’s a 2,000 sq ft Sears kit bungalow we purchased after considering whether we could live the rest of our lives here and whether our children would be likely to appreciate having growing up in it.
Well shoot, putting it like that I wouldn't mind it if all the search engines were proprietary and well-documented so I wouldn't have to justify the cost against the less easily quantified cost of using Elasticsearch

If system says it charges no interest, it means that interest payments are hidden. Either behind transactions fees, or by fixed costs covering maintanance of credit card, or by some other ways.

In a sense you are right -- there is a hidden fee, and it's related to the value that credit cards create for merchants. There are other ways to make money on payments, besides interest. The card company charges the merchant a fee -- perhaps 3.5% -- to process the transaction.

If a customers pays 8.00 USD for a toothbrush with cash, the merchant receives 8.00 USD in cash. If the customer pays with a credit card, the merchant receives 7.72 USD directly in their bank account. They lose 0.28 USD on 8.00 USD. Why do they take this deal?

* Reduced risk of theft and loss. Cash is easy to steal -- it can be stolen by employees, by dedicated robbers, and by passers by.

* Increased likelihood of making a sale. People don't want to carry too much cash, so sometimes they run out; and instead of making an impulse purchase, they just don't make the purchase. Credit makes it much easier for them to make that purchase.

The preference for permissive licenses vs copyleft license depends on where you value the freedom. As a developer who wants to write software, you might prefer permissive licenses because you have the freedom to do whatever you want with the software like including it in your propreitary software. As a user who ultimately runs the software, you might prefer the copyleft license because you get those same freedoms as the developer. I would admit that whether a user uses software that uses a permissive or copyleft license, it is pretty much the same.
> But isn’t a big reason for native apps just to harvest more metrics and data about your customers?

I've been a native app developer for ten years, I've worked on dozens and dozens of apps, and I know a tonne of app developers and entrepreneurs.

I don't think I've come across a single case of somebody saying that they want an app for those reasons.

The closest I can think of is a loyalty card app, and they got the usage data through use of the loyalty system, not by spying on your phone, and it didn't matter whether you used the plastic card, the website, or the app.

So you suggest that, in order to compete with China, the EU should allow Google to violate copyright law at large? I don't feel like this is a compelling argument, as it suggests the rule of law should simply be dismissed for any business which might have a competitor in China.

And yes, the networks that survived are small, and not making money, which is the correct outcome for a network built on wide-scale abuse of copyright. Your response backs up my point, about how the media goes after large scale infringers, rather than worrying about small-time offenses.
I think one interesting point from a compliance perspective is the technical requirement to provide a cdn with your private certificates. It’s not a showstopper, but it’s definitely a point to consider. I wish it could somehow be removed from the equation, similar to how you don’t need to provide your certs to a managed dns provider.
Yes. I'm claiming that's not novel. I wouldn't try and patent a 2 stage amp with an optional 3rd stage either.
>I'll take limited freedom. Maybe, then, I'll have a simple chance to prove my case.

Tell that to the between 1 and 3 million people who are in Chinese concentration camps because of their religion.

>From Wikipedia, 21% of prisoners in the US are unsentenced.

I'm not sure about the number you came up with, but those are people are awaiting trial, and there are constitutional limitations on how long they can be held. There are no such safeguards in China.

I suppose there are publishers and then there are publishers. I have no doubt they're trying to court people like you but it seems like their bigger ploy is to rope in the big publishers into embracing their platform, to abandon traditional digital publishing platforms.

If I'm a basic blogger or tiny digital publisher, Medium can work, though the tools are so archaic and limited I would become frustrated very quickly. If I'm even at medium-sized, the whole thing is a mess of half-measures that now seems singularly focused on annoying readers.

Throwing my content into a network or allowing me to pay to promote my content or whatever really isn't enough of a sell. I can do that anywhere and keep more of the money.
