I picked up a signal booster, but ended up not needing it- I typically get 2-3 bars, but found a spot in the house where I get 4, and that's good enough for decent speeds that I never got around to setting it up.

Keep in mind that the signal booster isn't magic- it's just a relay with a bigger antenna than what your cell phone has. If you're brave enough, pop up onto your roof with your cell phone- if you get at least three bars up there, I'm guessing that the signal booster could do the trick.

I wish that AT&T or Verizon would offer these unlimited style data plans directly. It seems strange to me that something like UbiFi can contract out off of AT&T's network and offer a flat rate plan, but somehow, phone tethering and data-only devices like verizon's jetpack are always limited to 20gb and slow speeds.

Best of luck!
I’m really confused what the author is trying to accomplish here. He sets a scenario that Btrfs openly says is known to cause issues. He doesn’t necessarily come to the conclusion that one needs to trash Btrfs but I’m not sure why you would go through this exercise prior to deployment if the exercise is pitting an undeployable configuration against something that has already been heavily battle tested. Until Btrfs development marks the RAID5/6 write hole issue fixed this test is pointless.

I’m a little disheartened to read all of the negative comments about Btrfs in this thread as well. I’ve spent a ton of time researching Btrfs in RAID 10 for deployment on my home lab (99% Linux environment) for when it’s time to expand storage and from everything I read it seemed like it was going to be a good idea. Now I’m back to wondering if I should research ZFS again.
OT: I wouldn't generally call command line tools or utilities apps.
Yup. We’ve been using this data for a while to render e-filed 990s on our site and to extract highly paid employees. Now we just strip the markup out and toss it all into elasticsearch for search. It’s really interesting to surface things like grants.

I will say for personal analysis that the schema has a habit of changing, and things like grants can appear in multiple places depending on the context. What’s more, just 2/3rds of nonprofits e-file now (and I’m sure fewer and fewer the further back you go) Just some things to look out for.

The odds that this test will fail are on the order of a million to one. I could better those odds if I thought it necessary.

That seems... pretty bad? Am I missing something?

If you have 1000 tests like that in a large codebase with a continuous build, you’re going to get an irritating number of random failures.

It’s not really a concern until you have a really large codebase. But if you leave it until you have a really large codebase, it’s a lot more effort to go back and fix the flaky tests.

Your Lichtenstein example is nonsense. Liechtenstein is not "partly democratic" but fully democratic. It has a monarch as Head of State (like the UK and others), and an elected parliament that enacts the law. It is also a direct democracy, where voters can propose and enact constitutional amendments and legislation independently of the legislature. The fact that the prince got a few more veto powers in 2003 does not change anything about the fact that it is democracy, and - equally important - people have full freedom of speech.
No it isn't? It is necessary for some high paying careers, like working in medicine. But, I am certainly a software developer, for a very large company, pretty happy with my paycheck, and I have no degree. Nobody even ever asked me about it.

Whether or not it helps is another story, I am not claiming a degree is literally useless. I am however a little rubbed the wrong way by claims that you need a degree to ever have a job that pays good, that seems false.

I think that is where parsing them out on an axial graph helps. A brand can be a pure brand - a classical example is the many cartoon/cutesy characters that are used in Japan to represent everything from supermarkets to local government. A brand can also be polluted with axis-3 psychological manipulation[1], implied claims that aren't true, false differentiation, and so forth. You can separate at least in abstract as a thought experiment, how much it is of each.

Congratulations. You managed to ignore the entire point of my argument by hyper-focusing on one small part of it and posting something that literally means nothing (The fact that the majority of the US agricultural industry does something does not inherently prove that that is beneficial to the consumer, to the soil, or to the planet).

it is true that fruits and vegetables grown decades ago
were much richer in vitamins and minerals than the
varieties most of us get today. The main culprit in
this disturbing nutritional trend is soil depletion:
Modern intensive agricultural methods have stripped
increasing amounts of nutrients from the soil in which
the food we eat grows. Sadly, each successive generation
of fast-growing, pest-resistant carrot is truly less
good for you than the one before
[...]
What can be done? The key to healthier produce is
healthier soil. Alternating fields between growing
seasons to give land time to restore would be one
important step. Also, foregoing pesticides and fertilizers
in favor of organic growing methods is good for the
soil, the produce and its consumers. Those who want to
get the most nutritious fruits and vegetables should buy
regularly from local organic farmers.

I don't know about this. For example in many countries around the world cigarettes are now put in unattractive packages but not banned outright.

To get very meta, the argument that regulation is a slippery slope, is itself a slippery slope. As in, I think the fear that government is going to continually encroach upon our freedoms until we live in a police state is misguided. This is the argument that big industry uses to exploit workers, cheat on taxes, spew their externalities over the environment, etc etc.

What we should really aim for is a democracy in which well-minded and level headed politicians work to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Perverse incentives aside, I think if that were really the goal, you'd get some level of regulatory balance that was neither too loose nor too restrictive.

> If we stopped restricting new housing and taller building, then the number of cars on the road would decrease.

Assuming that public transit could support the increased demand. I'm not an expert on Bay Area transit, but my sense is that there is not enough extra supply right now to support the extra density without modifications.

> Furthermore, there are innovations coming that might shorten commuting (e.g. things like Hyperloop, although I have no idea if that's viable) and self-driving cars (which let you read/work/etc while commuting).

Of all the arguments against transit, this is one of the shallowest and least effective. Large infrastructure projects takes years, perhaps as long as a decade, before construction starts--and it doesn't matter if they're public or private, because they have to go through the same mandatory delay processes. What you're proposing is that the government does absolutely nothing in the intervening times, in the hope that new technology comes out that makes things magically better. If the new technology miraculously comes out in time, you're going to have the exact same long delay before any benefits actually can be enjoyed, and indeed longer because new technology has inevitable teething problems. More likely, the new technology will turn out to not be worth the hype (PRT, monorail), or will be perpetually just over the horizon (self-driving cars).

There is nothing to be gained by waiting to solve problems that already exist today.

Regulatory capture is a wonderful thing isn't it? They cry "too much regulation!" when the city goes after them and then "not enough!" when the regulations are in their favor.
If we stopped restricting new housing and taller building, then the number of cars on the road would decrease.

But didn't you hear? GDP was recently replaced with VMT (vehicle miles traveled) as the measure of a country's economic vitality. So anything that decreases the number of cars on the road, or how far they travel, is right out.
Show HN: A Node.js Framework that runs in the browser
[Fabrix](https://github.com/fabrix-app/fabrix) is a strongly typed modern web framework that just did something a little new and very interesting. At its heart, Fabrix is simply a [tuple space](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuple_space) engine running on JavaScript's event emitter. It acts like a linux kernal loading libraries of code into a well defined API that give it all of its functionality which are called "spools". This makes Fabrix very lightweight and can boot incredibly fast. On top of being a very capable framework for "serverless" computing, Fabrix can now be bundled with Webpack to bring its simplicity to browsers!

Many of Fabrix's spools are specific to Node.js, but now with added browser support, we could see some interesting new spools driven for the client side or even Isomorphic applications. Check it out on [Github](https://github.com/fabrix-app) or say hello in the Fabrix [Gitter Channel](https://gitter.im/fabrix-app/Lobby)

Hey! I'm the creator of the RadioInstigator.

Turns out, after reviewing the interference from a GPIO pin, is actually very low (about 5% non-target frequency). I do understand I still have to deal with a comb filter output, but is minuscule from my inspections.

Im working on building a programmable filter network with independent low and high bandpass filters. But nothing available for the amateur market is sufficient. There's some stuff for the Ka and Ku bands (high microwave bands 12GHz-40GHz) but nothing for 50MHz-1200MHz. Nobody except for SigInt really cares about such a broad set of frequencies.

All you need to know here is right in the first paragraph: "Lyft filed a lawsuit against San Francisco today claiming city authorities are violating a contract it has with the ride-hailing company that gives Lyft exclusive rights to operate bike-share programs in the area. San Francisco’s Municipal Transportation Agency, on the other hand, says it has the authority to sign partnerships with dockless (also called stationless) vendors, and that Lyft’s contract gives it exclusivity only on docked bike shares. Lyft is seeking a temporary restraining order to prevent the city from issuing bikeshare permits to new vendors."

They're disagreeing on specifics of the contract Lyft signed with the city. This is exactly the kind of thing I would expect to be settled out of court with some kind of compromise agreement.
Interesting thoughts. I think the part that comes closest to my own beliefs is this:

> (b) Propaganda that has been thundered ... as a lever for avoiding regulation and oversight.

I think the belief in individualism is real and sincere. It is also exploited ruthlessly, sometimes - but not always - by those who are moving in the exact opposite direction. Where's the authoritarian message in an ad telling you to be yourself, express yourself, stand out from the crowd, etc.? I don't think one needs to assume mass deception (including self-deception) to explain Americans' behavior. While I wouldn't reject your theory outright, in accord with Occam's Razor I tend to start with the simpler theory until the case for some other is properly made.

Maybe jobs that require college degrees pay higher on average, but it's just not true that for a high paying job you need a college degree. I was making over 100k before I finished my bachelor's doing computer programming. I've known people who own plumbing, welding, or electrical businesses that have a license that are millionaires that don't have college degrees. Maybe those aren't "jobs", but the highest paying jobs often don't follow the beaten path.

I've spoken to survivors of the holocaust in Europe, and the Rwandan genocide, you have obviously not heard anyone participating in Tiananmen square talk about the events?

> People in rural communities are generally poorer

So give them subsidies. Rural communities have poor people and very wealthy people. The game the latter has played is getting dollars sold as helping the former to apply to all rural residents, including the latter.

The costs of universal access should be born principally by the wealthy who choose to live that way and businesses who employ people long distances from population centres.
Serving sizes have increased. Fat has been removed from a lot of dairy foods and replaced with extra carbohydrates. Sugar is unnecessarily added to bread. People work a lot and commute a lot and don't feel like putting in time to cook when they can just stop by the drive thru. A lot of cities are very car-centric and people walk less or bike less. We are very stressed and eating a pizza feels good man, a slight relief from our terrible lives. Our jobs are very sedentary, take 8 hours of our time, drive home, eat, go to sleep, wake up, do it again.

Snacks are mostly carbohydrates: bagels, donuts, chips, chocolate, granolas. It's hard to eat healthy, you have to make it yourself, but that costs time and effort, which you don't have much of because we work a lot.

It takes a conscious effort to say no to all of these delicious things, and that's hard to sustain.

I think the environment we've created is setting us up for failure in the sense that the easiest and most available options for us in food and jobs, are not good for us in the long run.

As with most models predicting widespread human problems due to climate change, this one is predicting the largest negative impacts on equatorial, mostly poor countries. As usual, rich countries will mostly do alright for some time.
