True, but the elderly will leave through attrition, forcing them to leave through high taxes that make their homes affordable doesn't seem like a good way to ensure neighborhood turnover.

I lived in a rent controlled apartment in San Francisco, and about 30% of my neighbors were over the age of 60 including an 80 year old neighbor who'd been there for 40 years and had great stories to tell.

Then I lived in a 20 year old building with no rent control, and almost all of my neighbors were age 30 or below working in the tech field (few lived there for more than a couple years) -- with no elderly people that I was aware of. (we had a few months of of false fire alarm activations, so it was pretty easy to see all of the residents)
i think it costs more because they need the money more now. they've got a lot going on, lots of new vehicles in development and not many models or sales to amortize it over.

Thanks, as a new piano learner that intuitively makes sense to me. However, my friend who's a much better piano player than me told me that you can't master a song unless you've memorized it. After a piano player has memorized a song, don't they naturally look down on their hands and think about what they're playing? I'm wondering how your conjecture jives with memorized pieces, so any insight there would be awesome.
Ask HN: Where to learn about industries and markets?
I'm interested in recommendations and resources to learn about different industries and markets in the US.

Currently I feel the information that I ingest has a low-signal to noise ratio.

Some podcasts, documentaries here and there give small tidbits. Financial articles tend to stay very high-level and are usually aimed just for investing.

In someways I'd love some encyclopedic-like dry reading that is packed with information.

Side note: am a student so can't go work in an industry to learn about it yet.
it's both things! a great loyalty thing and they had greatly reduced sales of the more profitable model s because the 3 is so freaking awesome
People have fixed workflows they've built over years or even decades. A big part of the reason you stuck with Windows and Office was that those workflows just worked. Preserving customer workflows seemed sacred to Microsoft back in the day-- think of the famous hacks just to ensure various badly behaved DOS games survived in Win95, or when they offered the XP Mode virtual machine.

Somnething seems to have changed recently. Every time they say "Oh, you can just learn to use the store and download Paint for free" or "we're replacing Snipping Tool with a Ziploc bag of lampreys" or "let's replace the Start Menu to make it tablet-friendly and hide where you go to shut the PC off.", they lose the plot. Pile up enough of these, and consumers start to say "if I have to learn all this stuff over, why shouldn't I just buy a Mac or run Fedora?"

I've never claimed it was a "one stop", but it certainly keeps the random internet users to a minimum.

And yes, using GHE or self hosted GitLab doesn't make up for storing secrets, but it at least keeps them out of the public eye so the effects are less brutal. Its still bad to store secrets in a code repository.

My whole point is that you can reduce risks easily, yet some people don't for some reason.
Do you always look both ways before entering the street? I always try to do that, both because that's what I was taught to do as a child, and because it seems like the best way to ensure my safety when walking. The only times as a pedestrian when I've been nearly hit by a car is when I've failed to do that.

If you don't look both ways, why not?

Most algorithms focus on:

1) binary trees for which theres usually a STL

2) some sort of odd string / array manipulation that never comes up in real life

3) some sort of linked list manipulation where again there is an STL for that and/or wouldn’t come up in real life

4) some optimized algorithm that literally took the first person years to discover prims vs kruskals MST for example, but now is expected to “figure out” on the fly.

5) Expects you to solve all these tasks with an insane time pressure that again is not a simulation of real life, it just makes it stressful almost as a rite of passage

I feel it's also worth noting that a lot of local Chinese folks don't really have many "hobbies" or many other reasons to not be at work socialising with their colleagues and doing company organised activities. It's culturally quite different to the West, where people often have things going on outside of work.

So get one. You can get a good one from the pawn shop for $200. You can afford that if you're interviewing for a 6 figure job.

This doesn't convince me, because 1) in the real world there are often major monetary asymmetries in law, meaning one team has access to much more lawyers' time 2) your example is mostly irrelevant since it's not like the lawyer was a defense attorney, she voluntarily wrote an oppressive law and then spent much of her time afterwards defending/upholding it.

If you read the article you see that not only did she write the law, the Bush administration gave her major credit for leading the patriot act project. How is that at all similar to playing devil's advocate?

You don't memorize (or think about) individual finger movements or notes, you memorize chunks of movements/notes. Watch the video, it's not a "conjecture", it has a solid grounding in science and it's not specific to the guitar. Looking at your hands is pointless anyway when playing at speed because what you see with your mind has happened 100-120 milliseconds in the past, and by the time you react to it, all hope is lost. So you're better off not looking. This is also the reason why you can't stabilize coffee in a cup if you look at it carefully when carrying the cup: it simply can't be done latency-wise.

Likewise hearing and touch have their latencies as well, although they are lower than that of vision, but even so, 60ms of proprioceptive latency (+whatever decision and motor latency you need to incur to close the loop) limits how fast you can realistically play. So the way fast things are played is you only control "key points" and let your motor memory sort of interpolate in between. Key points form a closed loop, stuff in between is fire-and-forget.

There is no way to tell current keyboard layout as of now. There is somewhat a debate on that topic because Gnome people what to have dbus api instead of wayland protocol extension for this functionality.

Replacing a language does not make all the code written in it go away, though. PHP has its tentacles all over the web with WordPress, Drupal, Magento, etc. and those will not be replaced any time soon.
That's fascinating, because the NPR sound is just a close-mic'd Neumann U87 microphone with the bass roll-off engaged:

https://current.org/2015/06/a-top-audio-engineer-explains-np...

The U87 is a classic mic first made in 1967 and used on everything. Lots of famous pop song vocals are still recorded with a U87 to this day. And they're expensive, they cost $3200 new at Sweetwater.

The U87 is a Condenser microphone, while the RE20 mentioned in the article is a Dynamic - I wonder if maybe you don't like the sound of condensers mics in general. They typically have a crisper high-end that catch a lot of detail.
The real issue is that (1) people want housing to be affordable and (2) people want housing to be an investment, and this is simply not sustainable. It's obvious. Only the first few generations get to have both, everybody else gets fucked. They will give you a bunch of reasons that all sound very different but somehow all magically take the side that favors (2). Weird. At this point for housing to become affordable the prices need to tank. This can be achieved in many ways but nobody is going to vote for any of them because of (2). Housing is a massive political sticking point. Too many people have too much of their livelihood invested in their house. Their votes are easily manipulated. You say build more, I guarantee that the build rate will be such that prices are not affected negatively. You can try to lower demand by raising ongoing fees in order to make housing a worse investment in hopes to drive out foreign investors and other speculators but clearly this will only work if prices drop and that will not happen because of (2). Things outside of voter control, specifically owner-voter control, need to crash the housing prices for the current generation to afford a house. _And_ the growth must be kept down to around inflation levels, because otherwise the problem is just postponed. The problem with California is that there hasn't been anything outside of voter control to affect housing prices like in other states. People are adamant to stay where they are and there are no big enough disasters to damage the properties.
Just experienced this delay being an issue for the 3rd period of this vegas-san jose playoff game. When goals pop off as fast as they do and it completely changes the game, that delay matters. Especially when my friends are either at a bar or streaming the game, it's hard to communicate and share the moment without spoiling. I basically have to keep a mental tab on who's stream is delayed and when I can get excited with who.
The model X tesla before this upgrade was much more efficient than the latest tesla killers from europe. This article [1] showed the audi e-tron is 23% less efficient than a model x (the family truckster huge suv tesla), and the i-pace is 26% less efficient. That is before the 10% performance. Tesla has excellent efficiency, much better than these german cars.

The hundai is also a great, efficient car too.

You are right about the territory. I had a paragraph about it but deleted it :). Territory is a tricky aspect. Over time, territory changes its value. The Inka territory/society in Middle America were once the peak of evolution. Now the territory/society is not that interesting anymore. Same story for the territories we nowadays know as Egypt, Iraq or Syria. After the Oil you can count Saudi Arabia to it. The UK was much more interesting 100 years ago.

Territory is indeed a factor. But one which is volatile as an aspect how well a society develops on it.

And regards being born in a society: There is nothing stronger than the bound of a family. Why we are surprised that the societies select this as a primary membership rule. And this is universal like that in every spot of the world.

Maybe, but Amazon faces competition from Ebay, Alibaba, even Walmart. It's unlikely they can raise prices significantly and maintain market share, nor is it likely that they can push out all of those competitors.
Also briefly, doesn't necessarily have to be an equation that the system is learning. Any sequences of samples could be assigned an answer/label and can have overlap with other data types of samples. So an image can be associated with a sound or a word etc, and presenting one or part of the sample could trigger the recall of any of the samples associated with the given sample. So the word tiger triggers the recall of the image, the sound, any context it is found in, etc.

The dealerships use VIN numbers, which end up getting you the exact part you want, even if the same car model of the same year has different parts. I suppose some of the retailers don't have this privilege.
As a startup founder you're sitting on a nice pile of equity. That's why you are sacrificing more of your life for success. Chinese workers at Alibaba for example mostly do not have any equity at all.
When will this anti-Chinese social media and news flurry end? Is posting a 2016 opinion piece with a loaded title like this (from the japantimes no less) likely to generate any semblance of a nuanced discussion? Or is it likely to devolved into racist personal, anecdotal circlejerking about how terrible all Chinese tourists are?

I'm glad this got flagged, but I'm also equally disappointed in how many upvotes this post garnered in the span of a few minutes. Shot right to the top of HN.

There are broadly speaking two kinds of meditations: focussed meditation and awareness meditation.

I heard a useful analogy of the mind being like an elephant that wants to wander around on its own.

In focussed meditation, we try to focus your attention on our breath, or some point inside our body or an idea. We tie the elephant with a rope to a pole. If it wanders too far, we tug it and bring it back to the pole.

In awareness meditation, we just observe where the elephant roams wherever it wants. That is more like leisurely mind wandering.

I also have always admired the old unix tools after learning how to use them. When working with big data files, it is super fast to get going by using cat, grep, sed, awk, cut and wc. As an alternative to using some editor and manually doing searches over data, the commands bring huge performance gain.

Well, you're not wrong, apples are a garbage fruit. And podcasts interviewing people via cellphone lines is a garbage podcast.

If any podcaster is worried about inconveniencing their guests by asking for quality recordings, consider that the viewership takes a lower view of their guests when audio quality drops: https://psychcentral.com/news/2018/04/14/scientists-often-di.... You practically owe it to your guests to insist on a quality line to avoid disadvantaging themselves in the marketplace for ideas.
I've done nearly 100 interviews at Google, at least half of them with me copying code from a whiteboard, and I have never tried to compile a line of code that a candidate wrote.

I also go out of my way, to make it clear that I don't care about every hanging parenthesis, indentation, or typo.

I care about whether or not the candidate asks for clarification, or bulls ahead with assumptions, whether the overall algorithm works, whether the candidate can identify limitations of, and bugs in their solution (Everyone has bugs. Everyone. There's nothing wrong with that.) and what their testing strategy is.

You're desscribing a very loosely defined and optimistic view of how things can and will play out. This is like the equivalent of seeing the early stages of bitcoin and deciding we should all ditch all current forms of money for cryptocurrency. I could list out a bunch of ways in which the system "can" work if I felt so optimistic about the idea of the technology just like this, but any points I would make based on my intuition and desires would be put in serious doubt in light of how cryptocurrencies have played out in reality thus far.

"Paired with the new more efficient drivetrain design, Model S and Model X are now capable of achieving 200 kW on V3 Superchargers"

Not sure how this has anything to do with the new drivetrain, because last month they already announced "[a V3 supercharger] supports peak rates of up to 250kW per car" (presumably without the new drivetrain as it had not been announced yet - https://www.tesla.com/blog/introducing-v3-supercharging)

Also why did Tesla claimed 250 kW in the blog post last month, but now lowered their figure to 200 kW ? I'm so confused.

Edit: found some answers: "Model 3s will be able to take full advantage of the new Supercharger capacity [250 kW] thanks to the car’s newer battery chemistry". So the Model 3 can charge at up to 250 kW, while Model S and X are currently limited to 200 kW. Source: https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/6/18253618/tesla-supercharge...

What I said is that it works for majority of desktop users, the mentioned issues of tearing or security are non issue for this group of users. I know Wayland is supposed to be better because it is modern and has a better design but personally I won't swap something that works for something that is still not supporting all MY use cases (Wine) just because of theoretical benefits (for me for others there may be benefits like mixed DPI setups).
