Theory 1:

These might be one of the competitive cyclists that have budgets and travel the world in competitions.

Theory 2:

Bikes that are expensive new don't keep their relative value on the used market very well, you can get those pretty cheap.

(Also keep in mind that you are only looking at the mark of the frame, depending on age it might not have many other original parts)
Not the parent comment but 1500sqft roughly gets you something in the range of an ordinary 2br 2ba (waving my hands vigorously on room dimensions, whether 2br 2ba is ordinary, etc). That's most people's "basic/ordinary housing needs".

So looking out from that position, people interested in another 1000sqft are usually thinking of hobbies, exercise equipment, shop space, media room, etc.
I've been amazed as to how badly designed new houses can be. Square feet alone, I agree, is a near useless metric.

I'd love to see the user personas that went into the development process. I don't see my needs in there.

A local builder sells a two story model with ZERO bedrooms on the ground floor. If someone is elderly or disabled, or just breaks their leg and needs to be in a wheelchair for two months, the house is basically unlivable.

The number of designs I've seen which devote hundreds of square feet to seperate formal and informal dining areas, and near room-sized alcoves (not isolated enough to make into an office, too big to be a hallway), while still having 10x10 bedrooms, miniscule closets, and claustrophobic bathrooms baffles me.

It's not only rationing care. In these other countries doctors earn a lot less than they do in the US, particularly specialists. They still make a good living though (excepting perhaps Cuba). Also administrative costs are lower and when insurance companies exist they're generally not allowed to make a profit on basic coverage, or they're not allowed to deny claims and must pay on a price schedule fixed by the government. Some of these policies can lead to shortages (i.e. if you pay doctors too little, you'll get fewer doctors), but there seems to be a middle ground that other countries have gotten closer to than the U.S.

How Do the Accelerated Mobile Pages Affect the Search Engine Rankings
In India, cycling continues to be the main mode of transport in rural as well as urban areas, for those people who cannot afford a bike.

But whats shocking is that dedicated cycle lanes are rare and cyclists have to ply on the same roads that carry cars, trucks etc. I can't recall the last time I saw a dedicated cycle track in an Indian city which is a disgrace since most of the people belonging to lower classes still use cycles as a daily mode of transportation.

I guess, among the explosion of cars and bikes on the roads, people on cycles have either become invisible or they have just been forgotten by those in authorities.

I used to cycle to work a long time ago. After a few Nearly Near-Death-Experiences, I gave up and bought a bike instead. My cycle languished in a corner of my room, until one day the maid that worked at my house asked if she could borrow it so that her husband could drop her children to school and then go work at a nearby textile factory.

I guess, they are still using that cycle while I have graduated from a bike to a car now.
I think you may be projecting wrt any snide.

I understand that you think the FSF has a public relations problem, and that's okay. As TFA pointed out, plenty of people don't understand the history of 'free software' or even 'open source', despite the latter's stated intent was to remove the ambiguity of the former.

Eben and Richard put a lot of thought into the development of GPLv3, specifically around its applicability to SaaS. Your earlier comment suggested you believe they did not - though there's plenty of interviews with, and comments from, Eben around precisely these considerations back in 2007 when GPLv3 was released.

Other licences - the Affero GPL variants are the obvious examples - can be applied to software where the author(s) wish to prevent SaaS (mis)use, but for various reasons these are not as widely utilised. Affero v2 was released, not by coincidence, shortly after GPLv3.

You have conflated ethics with code, misheard rms & Eben's repeated warnings (the famous 'you get some php doodads and spying for free all the time' for example), made some ad hominem attacks on person(s) who've expressed laudable and consistent ethical position for over three decades, and failed to comprehend that Facebook (etc) are only in control of your personal data because you have provided it to them.

The idea of them going back to nature is not that far fetched. A lot of well off Detroit residents built large homes a long time ago. Most of them are in the loving embrace of Mother Nature right now.

But it's also possible that someone comes in, bulldozes the whole thing, and then builds something else entirely.

Anything could happen.
Also I have stumbled on this talk video from a conference is seems some time ago: https://media.ccc.de/v/35c3-9904-the_social_credit_system and speaker also says that there is no one system but rather a large amount of smaller local systems with different sets of rules being trialed in different areas. So it seems more like trial and error and the best picks live on.

Very good comment, +1.

People don't really get the rabbit hole that is necessary in order to introduce a new technology at a large company. Just off the top of my head, a few of the issues:

* Not everyone has followed the broader technology world outside the big company. It's totally possible to imagine a situation where nobody in your management chain or team has even heard of something relatively mainstream like Docker.

* Your company uses custom build, deployment, and dependency management systems. Someone will have to do the work to implement support for the new technology in these.

* If the new technology has its own opinionated ideas about how to do any of the above, like Rust crates, npm, pip, etc., forget about it. You need to interact with previously existing internal code which means you need to fit into the already existing build/deployment/dependency solution.

* Your company has a bunch of custom internal services. You need to create bindings for these services' APIs in the new language.

* Your company might be doing some esoteric stuff that the new technology has no support for, like for example if your network stack does HTTP in some sort of custom-tuned way for performance, and the new language's HTTP library only supports a subset of everything that's possible.

* The new technology may have correctness or performance issues that have never been discovered because it has never been used on many thousands of servers where a 1% difference in CPU makes a huge difference, or it has never been used with a codebase big enough to take >1 day to build, or with binaries larger than several GB, etc.

And the biggest one...

* Every day, many new people are joining the company and beginning to ramp up on the (internally) mainstream solutions that have institutional inertia. This will dwarf the speed at which you can convince people to switch to the new technology.

The pattern I have seen is that something starts off being used for one-off scripts that don't have a lot of dependencies on the existing gargantuan infrastructure, then very, very gradually gaining mindshare internally and becoming more supported.

I know that there's been voter blaming for Brexit, Trump and other surprising results around the world, but I don't hold with blaming the voters for being foolish/gullible. Even if the surprise option won, or especially if they were sold a pup. There's usually a reasonably simple underlying reason too -- unemployment, tax, corruption and disillusion with current politicians, an especially compelling campaign or a particularly poor one, etc.

Some of the reports of Russian involvement seem just a tad too convenient. Besides, much of the Trump/Brexit phenomena is explainable without. Maybe there was foreign meddling too, who knows?

The grievances seem clear for anyone who cares to look - those areas and people hardest hit by deindustrialisation, globalisation and have been deprived regions for knocking on 40 years, and also hardest hit by austerity voted most for leave, and for Trump. The chance to kick the system, hope for jobs, for a different way. So blame silly voters or the parties might have to admit that leaving those regions to rot may have been a mistake. Admitting mistakes isn't on message, so politicians can't do that!

Of media, I suspect for most of us old media - TV and papers - has far less an effect than ever before. So they get more and more outrageous to try and stay relevant. Most now get news from a selection of sites rather than the morning paper or evening TV. For older folks who still have the habit of news from a single source, I suspect they still have impact. I really doubt any media site or paper can turn an election like they could in the 70s and 80s.

Advertising on the other hand is much more insidious. I'm used to seeing ads from both sides of every campaign. Personalised net and social media ads mean people can be targeted with what they're susceptible to - their own personal hot issues. That has the potential for effect the old media used to have, perhaps far more, and is invisible to all except recipient. I was certainly very surprised (and disappointed) by some of the FB ads revealed after the referendum.

I think we may be in violent agreement. :)

Say what you want about Facebook, but at least they put an incredible amount of resources into hiring humans to deal with their problems that require good human judgment.

They most certainly did not do that out of the goodness of their heart, but were more or less forced to after their platform was used as a conduit for genocide, which they ignored for years and for other very unsavory and partially illegal practices.

Most of the moderators are contractors, who make slightly above minimum wage and have absolutely horrible jobs and work under dreadful conditions[1]

Using Facebook as some role model is disengenious, at best.

You are defending those offenders with a passion by completely ignoring the real victims here. When those "laolai" refuse to pay their debts when they have the resources to do so, rather than defending for those "laolai", how about show some decency by thinking about the real life situations of the actual victims who couldn't get their money back from those "laolai" even after court orders?

With 1.4 billion people, surely you can dig up some "opposite effect", but again - how about look at the vast majority of those real victims here? When someone owes you money and the court order says they should pay you back, yet they choose to completely ignore that. It is just shockingly unbelievable that you choose to defend such offenders because they now can't ride high speed rail!

It's kind of ironic—for a style of communication designed to avoid statements with embedded accusations and controversial judgments, its name embeds one of the most accusatory and controversial judgments one can make. I wonder what was going through Rosenberg's head when he chose the name.

I figured out I could autocorrect it in my head to "nonvolatile communication", which seems significantly better.
I grew up in the suburbs, and starting at age 9 or so, my friends and I would frequently ride our bikes to each other's houses when we wanted to hang out, weather permitting. Often a group of 4-8 of us would wind up just generally riding around town, largely unsupervised. Keep in mind this was the mid 90s, so it's very possible things have changed since then.
For cub scout camp directors, the plan must include daily scheduled periods of 'down time' during which scouts can play on open fields or playgrounds. For a four hour/day camp, this might be 30 to 45 min in the middle of the schedule. There's also free time before and after opening and closing ceremonies. The same is generally advised for meetings. Before a meeting, it's best to give them some time to blow off steam before having them sit for any length of time for anything structured. Making things fun is the best first step toward not only engaging them as individuals, but getting them engaged with each other. So yea, essential and well recognized by experienced scout leaders

How has this article highlighted that though? Eritrea is clearly not functioning very well, and is quite poor, so I don't think it is something we should hold up as an example of how a city can be organized.

Really? Apple has impactful OSS like LLVM, WebKit, Swift.
Fair enough, I edited out the comment about Apple.
My litmus test is pure and simple, how much money are they willing to spend right now to solve the problem?

If they will not willing to pony up $$ to solve the problem it isn’t worth doing. It doesn’t have to be your friends that pay but potential/first customers. If you think you/they can’t sell something that doesn’t exist either your sales people are not as good as you think or the idea does not resonate or solve a painful enough problem.

If you build it they will come is b.s.
If you sell it now you will sell a sh*t ton later is a much better moto.
Yea, for the first year of cub scouts with 5 year olds, that's the appropriate kind of activity that combines play, limited strength and skills, and allows you to mix in information about nature, society, arts, science, etc. That said, you also start camping the same year, with your parents, and transition to sharing tents with other kids over then next year or two. By the time kids are 10, they are running the boy scout troop, and the adults should be there just for support and advice. I put it this way: In cub scouts, the adults are at the front of the room. In boy scouts the adults are in the back of the room. In Venture/Explorer scouts, the adults are in the next room.
I guess in US, but for the majority of the third world, the picture may not be so rosy.

I foresee a dystopia where governments powered by internet and AI weapons will channel the world resources to a select few while the rest of humanity dies a slow death.

In my personal opinion -- Emphatic yes. Copyright law is tyrannical and should be abolished.

I always supposed that document databases were based on object databases from the early 90s... And that the "NoSQL" craze was simply a continuation of that progression. I mean there is a difference between NoSQL and no schema. The early object databases had schemas. The reason they wanted to abandon SQL was because they believed that they never wanted relational data: they just wanted a persitance layer for their business models.

I might be wrong about that because I pretty much ignored DBs in the late 90's and 00s, so I never really followed what was happening. However, one thing I'm absolutely sure about: MongoDB had very few features that were really novel. I'm not really sure why people think everything started there (especially someone who knows about 4GL ;-) )
I've spent the last 3 years driving around Africa - 35 countries and over 50,000 miles. In more than a few cities the traffic (and pollution) have been absolutely horrific, and I've often wondered if there is a large city where biking is much more common.

Biking is very common in rural areas.

Unfortunately I've had to skip Eritrea, although I really wanted to get there. Because of the recent peace deal with Ethiopia the borders are wide open.. but that means for me nobody really knows how I can enter at a land border legally... there won't be anyone to stamp my passport, and so it's very likely I'll be arrested by the first Police that see me, even with a valid visa.

The ambassadors in Ethiopia and Djibouti were more than happy to give me a visa, but they had no idea what would happen if I tried to drive in. Maybe I'll have to go back!

Giving them something works a treat. I assume my bees will
misbehave one day and irritate neighbours so I have preemptively handed over many kgs of honey. Some have been keen and had a look in the hives too.
The neighbours haven’t complained yet tho SOs have, as once I had a beemageddon when I had a bit of a honey extraction disaster had everyone in the house had to leave home for the day until I sorted it out.
Bees were coming in keyholes, extractor fans and gaps in closed windows.
I remember visiting Hanoi, Vietnam in the mid-1990s. In those days, cycling was by far the dominant mode of transport in the city. You’d see the occasional small motorcycle (scooter), but the streets were dominated by thousands upon thousands of cycles, everywhere you went. They must have been >95% of all traffic.

But now, over 20 years later, it’s all changed. Most of the cycles are gone to be replaced by a few cars, and incredible numbers of noisy, polluting combustion scooters.

Air quality has declined dramatically and city streets have become much less pleasant places to be.

The Vietnamese government probably sees this as progress? I think it’s a dystopian nightmare and a huge step backwards.

Apparaently people don't watch enough of 'BBC Grand Design' and also 'YouTube Tinyhouses'.

Otherwise they would know better :D

1600 sqft sounds relativly big to me and would double the space we have. But size is less important than:
- Having light! Srsly like natural brightness
- Good connection to work / city live
- nice garden with a view
- smart building design like having a extra room for washing cloth, power sockets which are well positioned etc.

Quit. Gmail.

Why are so many technical users still on this gross platform that is turning the earliest, most successful decentralized internet protocol into a walled surveillance advertiser garden?

If you use gmail, go register a domain and point your MX records at an honest mail provider like Fastmail, Posteo, or Kolabnow. Or run your own mail server. This way your mail provider is hidden behind your domain and you can change it in the future if desired.

Seriously, stop reading hacker news for a second and make today the day you start migrating away from Google.

That'd be the best move here. If the author wants Apple to operate according to their (US-based) ideals in China, that's a perfectly valid argument to make. So make it.

Instead, the author does some overly verbose and hot take dance to propagate clickbait, which is then shockingly submitted to HN. Call this garbage for what it is.
When I did it about 15 years ago we got dumped in a fenced in bit of eucalypt forest with our pockets stuffed with "normal" items like knives/shoelaces/mueslibars/1.25L bottles of water/first aid kits and told to survive for 24 hours. Granted it's almost impossible to actually get yourself killed in 24 hours, we had quick access to leaders if we needed them, and we were all relatively trustworthy kids who'd trained for it, but it felt like more responsibility than arts and crafts.
MongoDB was great to me for prototyping, either manually or with tools like Meteor.
In California you get carded when buying anti-dust compressed air, and they won't sell to minors. I was baffled when I was buying a few cans at my local Fry's and they asked me for ID.
