I was talking about backbone routing hardware. Wireless technology is a non-sequitur, and I’m not an expert so cannot comment. Ultimately, the parent was asking for example of “large” examples of IP theft, and this should surely count.

I can attempt to respond to some of your 5G comments. My outsider perspective is that many countries have the resources to develop this technology, and my guess is differences in timing are dominated by capital efficiency questions and not talent. Differences in cost probably come down to policy and subsidy regimes — and free appropriation of IP is only one of many kinds of subsidies a government can provide domestic firms.
Half of Colma seems to be graveyards, but I bet they could fill it to the brim with 4 story housing units and not put a dent on bay area demand... always boggled my mind.

Because "afro" was a hair style worn by primarily black people a few decades ago when racial tensions were higher.

It's an old term and as such is considered to be used by people who don't care enough to adopt more modern language to refer to people of the race and their culture.

In this case, it's the title of a real show and the protagonist is very respectfully portrayed in the anime. Recommended.
Right, but I'm not referring to the summary at all so I don't know why it's a part of the discussion. The actual report itself has the same conclusions.
It's not convenient, or relevant, if you read the other real estate focused reply to your comment. If anything, it is convenient for the NYT's news cycle to focus disproportionate attention on myriad related-only-by-keyword events within a short amount of time for the sake of spinning narratives about specific companies and garnering clicks.

Facebook received the same treatment, once they lost their golden boy status.
Correlation does not allow you to draw conclusions about causation.

And there are other plausible explanations. Intelligence is highly heritable and negatively correlated with fertility. Also, there has been an overall increase in measured intelligence since IQ tests were first invented. Nobody really knows why. But this could be a reversal of that trend. And, importantly, people have been getting more sedentary during the entire extent of the increase. So it would be hard to square that with the hypothesis that this recent decrease being caused by less activity.

The headline feels so disingenuous just to garner clicks.

First of all, this article is about San Francisco. SF is parodied within many groups for being exactly the way that it is.

However, put that aside. Are the problems of SF cause by liberals or are they cause by people who happen to be liberal. This is an important distinction. If it's the latter, then the problems are caused by the inhabitants, and you could substitute any politically identifying individual in to get similar results:

>Then there is the refusal on the part of wealthy progressives to live by the values they profess to support at the national level. Creating dense, economically and socially diverse urban environments ought to be a paramount goal of progressivism.

That's what I mean. Is that due to liberals only paying lip service, or is that due to wealthy people not wanting to co-mingle with commoners? I agree with some of the base reasoning in the article: NIMBYers make it hard for a major city to be inhabitable by others. However, how much of this politics compared to people?
AI Generated Eye Makeup
Advertising is the cost of access to the content. The content provider has the user's attention, and the advertiser is paying the content provider for a small slice of that attention. But that's all the cost should be, just a moment of attention. The cost should not be giving up your privacy.
I'm not sure that there will EVER be a solution to this, especially in California.

Why?

Property is an investment (and that investment creates wealth for CA via Prop 13). It's rational to oppose anything which would decrease the value of your investment. For many home owners, their home is one of their biggest wealth sinks.

That said, we should have never treated housing as an investment without some sort of control.
That democrats have their own version of xenophobia isn't surprising, but I don't know that it can be clearly attributed to wealthy progressivism. The ideas are inherently reactionery and not very progressive. I think it shows that party lines don't neatly capture ideological divisions, especially in cities that overwhelmingly lean towards one party.

In other words, SF being all blue doesn't mean it's all progressive, it'll still have its fair share of right-leaning xenophobes. In a different environment where the Republican party had less of a broad stigma, I suspect a lot of these people wouldn't identify as Democrats.

As much as this sounds like a "no true Scotsman" argument, it doesn't make sense to me that NIMBYism is actually seen as a progressive stance.

What heterogeneity? Most US cities and suburbs dedicate most of their land exclusively for detached single family homes. This is true even in most major cities.

> There are places actually trying to understand how to progressively and responsibly manage infill development

You make it sound like they're having to do groundbreaking research or something, but Japan and France and Germany have had responsible infill development for decades now. If we're failing to leapfrog using their lessons, it's because we're stupid and obstinate, not because we're mature and wise.
I don't disagree that static type checkers and analysis software can be useful for catching many kinds of errors. In fact, at the end of my comment I emphasize exactly their strength: in automatically detecting when and where clients need to make changes. My intent in making the comment was to highlight that static analysis is only one part of a larger solution to the problem of keeping call sites in sync with the code they depend on, and to discuss other techniques that don't rely on static analysis. I think articles and comments online focus too much on the debate between static and dynamic typing, instead of the engineering principles that apply to both camps, which can help mitigate the risks associated with change.

Consensus as in agreement and no, you cannot easily dismiss smoking causing cancer in that way. There is a scientific basis for the latter. For the former, some commentators are attributing the famine to a malicious intent whereas others attribute it to a policy failure.
British policy at that time in that place was focused on preventing a Japanese invasion of India. If that policy had failed and Bengal had been invaded, the fate of the people there would very likely have been worse. Britain was in a tight spot at that time, doubtless things could have been handled better but there were a lot of mitigating factors. Referring to it as a deliberate killing millions of people to win the war is just plain wrong
Well, in a the same field (IT) it is common for companies to sell computers with pirated Windows, used parts as new, etc. In the small town I live in, know of five companies (two out of business) where this is common practice. I t think it's IT people taking advantage of non-IT people.
I think you've nailed it. Getting all the constructs right can be tough - Metacode solves that.

Of course: the app draws from a database of thousands of snippets that are cleaned up and generalized with some scripting. Natural language queries are handled like search, with semantic matching over both natural language and code structures. Content within the snippet like naming, "subject"/"target", and values are dynamic (use # to modify those values) – but it still needs work. As for auto layout, I actually have a feature for that on the roadmap but wasn't sure it was a common problem – bumping up its priority!
Tech Billionaires Think Sim City Is Real Life
TBBT is a show written by non-nerds trying to describe what nerds are, and failing miserably.

I have tried more than once to watch it and every time I felt actual physical discomfort at how bad the whole thing was; Even though the show is not strictly about nerds but rather a parody of SV culture, I find HBO's Silicon Valley to be so much better at describing nerds than TBBT - at the very least I can actually laugh at the jokes and there are slight hints that the writers actually know what they are talking about.

It works the same way, the kite acts like a wing and provides pull and something (kiteboard, fins, hydrofoil, etc.) resists that pull and provides a perpendicular force to the force from the kite power line.
You should be careful about repeating this - a lot of people find the comparison very, very offensive.
Love the idea. Couple first impressions from the iOS app though:

1. Most of the icons and images are really low-res. You should include @2x, @3x assets or just have higher res images and let them downscale on older devices.
2. A lot of the "Latest Active Sites" won't load, and the spinner just spins forever. I know the whole point is that it's a site hosted on someone's phone and may or may not be available, but there definitely needs to be a more graceful way to fail. The spinner blocks the UI and doesn't go away.

I know it's isn't part of the core service you're trying to offer, but seeing blurry buttons and having the app get into a broken state after clicking some links is not a good first impression. There's a lot of signalling involved in the first 30 seconds or so when a user (like me) is trying to decide if they want to invest time and brainpower into exploring your service, and it's worth smoothing those things out.
Then you've never watched a loved one get bankrupted by medical bills and skip medicine because it's too expensive. It's a common tale here that is a fairy tale even in many developing countries. We have higher infant mortality than most of the developed world and 60-70% of bankruptcies here are because of medical debt.
I disagree as well - I think the author is confusing "normalization" with "popularization". Big Bang Theory is for people to laugh at nerdiness, not with it.

Along with the cases that you've listed, I think a clear case of normalization would be Stranger Things and DnD.
Capitalism has certain systemic features, one of them is concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a small few. Look at how wealth is concentrated in the U.S., especially over the last 40 years. Unions have eroded, markets have been deregulated, our social safety net has been dismantled, etc. and as a result, the power of capitalists has expanded. Capitalism is by its nature struggle between workers and capital. Capital is winning.
So are you saying that you can’t improve your intelligence and you’ll always have the same intelligence level, predetermined at birth, for the whole of your life?
I don’t really think this is the case.
I’m pretty sure that is widely known that you can improve your intelligence by training / practicing.
If the IQ test results are improved with training then it is something that attests their value beside other bullshit tests that don’t improve with practice.
Just because people have different values does not mean we don't share values, and more importantly, that we don't share reality. The things that I am intolerant toward are a disregard for the facts, a disregard for demonstrated relevance, and a disregard for the legitimacy of expertise and aggregate authority.

>Isn't that just tribalism and conquest?

I mean, if you're saying that this conflict is an integral part of human nature, then you're not asking me to change my mind; you're giving me a justification for why I don't have to. That knife cuts both ways.

This is always the problem I have when trying to reason about American conservatism; if God gave you your riches, then if you lose them, attribute it to God. If might makes right, then I am not wrong to deny it so long as that denial leads to victory. Etc.. There's nothing there to tell me I'm wrong, only that people disagree. So wrongness has to be a kind of aggregate disagreement, and that leads to liberalism. Both roads lead to liberalism.
Well if we are throwing around numbers haphazardly: Healthcare in the US is 17% GDP. 27 + 17 is 42% GDP, vs 38% GDP in Germany (covering healthcare).
Oh, I'll agree that Trump's election shows that there are problems. It just doesn't show that there are problems at the FAA. And the 737 Max shows that there were problems at Obama's FAA.

Scale is irrelevant to the dynamic of "a good stops being provided when the assigned liability is out of proportion to what the provider can reasonably control". Cessna was hit with vindictive, overreaching lawsuits that somehow succeeded, which had the effect not of safer airplanes, but more expensive ones without meaningful changes to safety.

"Boeing's bigger so I don't have to care about that dynamic" is not the right way to react to that concern.

Ironically, knowing about "Afro Samurai" in this case, would seem to indicate the poster is more culturally astute than someone who would down vote them as it indicates a willingness to consume content about both Japanese and black culture.
> is not ever going to be ok from a dozen different security perspectives.

What dozen perspectives?

> Any of the other examples can easily be decompiled or reversed.
reply ... I don’t think I said any of those things?

Sorry, I interpreted "decompiled or reversed" as insecure. I'm curious why there's a problem if the frontend code can be reversed? Or another way to ask this is, how is that any different from an open source app?
> More conservative metros will at least build outward to deal with housing supply problems. Yeah, that's not really good for the environment, but it does help with prices. But not liberal cities: they don't want to build out OR up.

SF, NYC, Seattle, and Boston don't have more land to open up for development by virtue of their geography. Of course places like Dallas, Oklahoma city, etc. are able to build outward -- they aren't surrounded on multiple sides by large bodies of water. To build outward in SF, NYC, Seattle, and Boston they would have to recreate Waterworld.
Wow, that is a fun coincidence! Indeed, I was going for a catchy four-letter acronym in the same vein as popular stacks like LAMP or MEAN. Perhaps the fact that we both landed on the same components and permutation of components means that there's something there :)

I also started off in the same manner of implementation - bash scripts wrapping AWS CLI calls - then stumbled upon the more straightforward, template based approach.
The headline about wealthy liberals doesn't match the bottom of the article, which rags on both parties. It's clickbait - it got you to click, after all.

I thought the article made a good point, that tribalism and xenophobia is common to most humans and that wealthy & powerful people have the means to enforce their exclusivity on less wealthy & powerful people, and that different parties just manifest it through different policies operating at different levels. Then they dress it up in outrage politics because that generates pageviews.

Imagine if this trade war was a big ruse to force Americans onto iPhones and Chinese onto Huawei phones. It'd reduce the fear of other nations spying on your residents, as well as increasing the coverage of your own national spying capability. It's win-win as far as both presidents are concerned. Maybe they'll declare the trade war is finished once they are satisfied with the uptake of spy-enabled hardware in their countries.
The Cat Who Saved a Japanese Train Line
It is still subject to legal constraints, and when exposed there is at least the possibility of consequences and changes. In China it is entirely legal, tolerated, and expected. In China the intrusions can entirely unsubtle and deep, whereas in the US there is at least some balance with legal restraints. These are very different situations. Neither of them are ideal, however equating them is really not accurate.
You can but neglect of duty can doubtless happen when you are overwhelmed with just trying to survive yourself fending off an invasion from the adjacent territory.
I should clarify, this is fair. When I say "Chinese culture," I mean in the Epic sense - five thousand years of Chinese heritage and cultural tradition, mushed together from all the provinces and colonies. It's not a very well defined thing, so your comment is quite fair. It includes things like the use of the Han writing system, a similar linguistic heritage, certain medical beliefs, a smorgasbord of culinary traditions, a flavor of bureaucracy, etc.

With this in mind, the PRC has slowly been eroding many aspects of this "traditional" Chinese culture, such as the high respect paid towards intellectuals, teachers, and philosophers (through the use of reeducation camps and propaganda). Meanwhile, Taiwan starts to discover new things about the natures of traditional Chinese culture, like its compatibility with quite liberal concepts (same-sex marriage, as an example).

Many Taiwanese people will say their cultural identity aligns with the thousands of years of Chinese history, while rejecting the last 60 years or so of change on the mainland.

Nowadays someone might say "Chinese culture" and be taken to mean things like "tendency towards tyrannical capitalism masked as communism" or "tendency to imprison people for thought-crimes," so I appreciate you bringing this up.
There are people and enterprises with natural exposure to certain risks. They can use derivative positions to take an offsetting risk and zero out (or mostly negate) the risk that they're taking. For instance, someone who leases out farmland will collect rents that correlate with the prices of the main crops in the area. They can short the relevant futures contract and get offsetting profits if a crop price reduction drives down rents.

I'm not homosexual, but have you seen the portrayls of such on the likes of 'next top model', 'queer eye...', and honestly just about any mainstream media now that I think about it.

They're petty much all caricatures of 'offensively eccentric negative-female- characteristics high-pitched limp-wristed men with obsessions for fashion and celebrity culture'.

Its exactly the same thing and pretty standard...if i was less cynical, id think it should of created more of an uproar...

Nope. There is no vast right wing conspiracy to prevent affordable housing. I don’t want to jump to conclusions but I’m guessing you don’t live in SF or California?
Less then $1/month if you've got low traffic. I haven't used this, but I have this type of setup for a static site that uses Hugo.

- S3 costs: $0.10/month

- Route53: $0.50/month ($0.50 per hosted zone)

S3 costs could be lower - I have other buckets with stuff that count towards my cost.
No, the notion that every city should become 'Dubai' is ridiculous.

NYC has already 'verticalized' ... and they are one of the example 'problem cities' - and they still have extreme inequality and 'housing problems'.

So when SF crams in 5 million more folks, will they have 'solved the problem'? Or will they be just like NYC?

Why haven't Chicago, NY or Hong Kong, with all their 'amazing density' solved this ostensible problem?

By this 'build out' logic Stockholm, most of London, Zurich should be bulldozed and turned into NY or Hong Kong as well?

So first, is the notion, hinted above, that 'more density' in no way implies a solution to the problem - because there's nary any limit to how many people might want to come into the city.

Second, which underlies the above, is an issue called 'Supply and Demand'. People moving to the Bay have to make that rational decision as to housing costs vs. pay. Moving to the Bay is usually a choice, not some kind of coercion, so people are for whatever reasons, making that choice.

If the Bay wants to expand smartly they should consider wicked fast transportation to places around the bay, and those places could be built with a little more density than now as well.

There's quite a lot of space, there's no reason that even working class folk can't live a decent standard of living.

They could still build upwards, and that has been suggested many times by residents. They (or rather, certain powerful factions within them) just don't want to.
Yup, which is all the more reason they should be gung-ho about building up. Guess how that's gone?

Racket can probably do everything you want (i.e. serve as its own 'LAMP stack').

Clojure with whatever the standard libraries are nowadays is easy to get setup and running.

I'm sure there's a common Common Lisp set of libraries for web apps too.

And there's a variety of smaller Lisp projects for various other runtime environments, e.g. various Lisp-to-JavaScript transpilers that you could run on top of Node.js.
