This is the comment you want to make on a board dedicated to startups?

If a startup can gain power and then lobby to change zoning laws, even if they do it in a self serving manner that locks out competition, it would be such a vast improvement it is hard to calculate.

The deadweight loss of zoning is huge.

This is a far more ambitious idea than Uber. I imagine it will fail as the majority of voters own and they vote to immiserate others so their property values remain inflated.

Your comment is gross. The sentiments within it are nothing but regressive, mocking sneers.
This article is by the recently deceased Dr. Corbató, who lead the development of early time-sharing systems, such as CTSS and Multics.

It seems that PL/I wasn't a good choice in hindsight, being too complex to implement a compiler quickly, given the memory constraints back in the day.

I posted this because I was interested in a comment about Multics that stated that PL/I's design prevented memory access bugs, because it had variable length arrays/strings(?), and not C's zero-terminated strings. Of course C/unix was a better choice for the memory-limited systems of the day than the relative behemoth that was PL/I/Multics.
you didn't try to compete against Youtube and Google, you had an early vision of Periscope and House Party. Do you still have access to MySpace guys?
That's why he used the word "misleading". You are pointing out the title is strictly speaking true. But it can still mislead, especially by generating false expectations about the precise way in which it is true. I mean, that's how a lot of jokes work

They do to an extent. It's just that for some camera manufacturers, it's only accessible in-camera (i.e. shooting in JPG mode), for others, they do have a separate RAW converter you can use on your computer (Fujifilm does, unsure for other manufacturers).

Canon can't make Adobe or Phase One use their algorithm for decoding RAWs though.
"Google's Glass customers and partners currently include AGCO, DHL Group, HB Fuller, and Sutter Health."

A decent start, but that's not really a list that suggests it will be anywhere near as significant as Google hinted 6 years ago.
So it took them only two weeks to take advantage of Firefox's new policy to automatically "fix"[1] man in the middle attacks through enterprise/antivirus CAs. As expected, this "convenience" will make us all less safe :(.

An issue with this approach is it turns 'cleaning' into a time-consuming task that needs to be completed to avoid making the situation worse. That can cause some folks anxiety and require a building up of sufficient willpower to even begin the task.

Contrast that with a transaction-based approach to cleaning where an individual item is moved to it's destination place/state, then you move on to the next item. No middle state where things are worse, and you can stop at any time yet still have gained the benefit of any work completed to that point.

However, with the second approach it's key that everything has a suitable destination 'home' to be moved to. Often, that 'home' is the trash can :)
Pretty interesting. Probably right. So what's next? After flailing around for a while longer IBM will be up for sale. Who will be the buyer? That's easy: Microsoft!
Is a way of saying. You can change a bar for a coffe shop or something like that. What I'm saying get out your home and do things you apreciate. You will eventually make friands with people with the same interest.

You care about art? Go to museuns. Like italian food? Go to a cantina once in a while, even alone you will eat great food, make friends with the owners and waiters, etc.

Has the 0 setting broken anything in your experience?
So he found a way to make money by buying a few places and renting it to his company. A lot of CEOs seem to find similar tricks. Does it mean that he is the landlord of all the locations of wework? No. Does it mean wework is a real estate company? Certainly not if they are only renting.
I guess... if you looking for more common people... personally I'm looking for a striper named Stacy with a tatto in the lower back, dad Issues and in sometway will fuck my life... But hey.... wherether rocks your boat.
From what I understand he purchased real estate and then leased it to the franchisees.
Because 1.0 is 0x3f800000, which is often right in the middle of the heap.
Very few (if any) digital cameras have 16-bit ADCs.

Most cameras use 12 or 14 bit ADCs, so they only use 2^12 or 2^14 of the available values.

Generally, the RAW files aren't actually 16 bit, but rather a packed structure of the native ADC size. In this case, they're using 16-bit intermediate bitmaps. They're not 16 bit from the RAW.

------

Fujifilm actually has a few cameras with a sensor that can be put in 16-bit mode, but IIRC it's not enabled in software.
I think the most important thing to keep in mind as you read through this issue and the comments is "be careful what you wish for". No doubt cases like this will be taken as arguments for making it even harder to install your own root certs than it already is, meaning that those who run MITM proxies on their own networks (e.g. to filter out ads even in otherwise unconfigurable browsers and such) get affected negatively, and it takes away from personal freedom. Also, don't forget that the pro-DRM and adtech crowd would love for nothing other than you to get exactly what they serve, whether you want it or not.

The increasing politicisation of Mozilla is also a concern --- it seems unwise for it to fight a government, or turn their core product into a platform for doing so. It's sad to see "privacy" brought up as an argument, and that seems to be Mozilla's main one these days; I think it's perfectly fine for people to desire privacy (and my MITM proxy will help with that, by stripping out trackers and such), and for Mozilla to offer services that do (they could work on their own VPNs and "firewall busters", for example), but the attitude of knowing better than the users or forcing them to trust or not trust certain entities is wrong.
Singapore solved this problem, and we should probably follow their example

> Singapore's top diplomat in the UK, Michael Teo, defended Singapore's harsh drug laws by pointing to the country's lower rates for drug use.

"8.2% of the UK population are cannabis abusers; in Singapore, it is 0.005%. For ecstasy, the figures are 1.8% for the UK and 0.003% for Singapore; and for opiates—such as heroin, opium, and morphine - 0.9% for the UK and 0.005% for Singapore," claimed Teo. "We do not have traffickers pushing drugs openly in the streets, nor do we need to run needle exchange centers."

non recognition of subjectivity of terms like "journalist", "annoying", "off topic", etc., used in description, don't bode well for success of this project.
I see a few issues. First, the local zoning commission may not allow such units.

Second, my dog uses the backyard on my dog's schedule, not the renter's. And the renter may dislike walking through a minefield to come and go.

Third, where's the renter going to park?
Oracle, not Microsoft. Microsoft doesn't need anything they have. Oracle is already selling their (Oracle-rebranded) version of RHEL plus the Oracle database business ties in with the IBM mainframe business.
If an attacker can install a CA on the system, the attacker can probably also apply binary modifications to Firefox.

Or replace it with a compromised version.
We raised our daughter from 0-5 in big cities, and there is definitely a huge appeal to that. But on the flip side, kids don’t need to “go anywhere.” They just need other kids around. When I grew up, we just roamed the neighborhood causing trouble. That element is missing in most cities today. You can’t just count on having a mess of kids on your block. Parents are the minority, so they have to more consciously get together and schedule activities with other parents.
They want to pretend that it's not a banking service
This is true , the only way I've seen accounts recovered:

1) Higher a lawyer and threaten a lawsuit.
2) If you have the ID you can hire a hacker to get it back.
>I'm working on a language with a focus on simplicity and "only one way to do it":

If I wanted a language with "only one way to do it", i'd use Brainfuck. Which, btw, is very easy to learn, well documented, and the same source code runs on many, many platforms.
You should be able to do this for Firefox, in two ways, neither of them very convenient, but if you're excited enough about this to put some work in:

1. The actual browser software has its own rules for what's trusted on top of the root trust store often copy-pasted into other software (e.g. in the Python package Certifi). These rules include name constraints of the sort you're interested in, functionally they're used to constrain roots that might be fine but whose government operators promise they're only for some TLDs under authority of that government, so in a sense for those names the government decides who "really" owns them anyway.

Rather than link a horde of HN readers into Mozilla's poor mercurial server I'll point you more indirectly at a summary from their wiki:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Additional_Trust_Changes

You can fork Firefox and add your own rules to NSS, or if you're feeling really fancy, your own extension mechanism to add rules at runtime.

2. You can spin up a root, and trust it, and use that to sign a suitable constrained intermediate. Then, destroy the private key for the root and continue using the intermediate.

In this scenario Firefox gives total trust to your root, but it can't possibly proxy mybank.com because you destroyed the private keys, it can't do anything further at all. The intermediate, which can still issue, is constrained.

Google (I think? Some big tech firm with know-how) has used this trick for products that do loop-back HTTPS. It mints a root cert during instal, issues one certificate and then destroys the private key, then it can trust the root cert but without any danger you later get MITM'd by the root, because that root's private key no longer exists anywhere.
Since October there is a new version, v4: “Added a new OCR engine that uses neural network system based on LSTMs, with major accuracy gains. [..] Added trained data that includes LSTM models to 123 languages.”

No idea how well it does for structured content like tables.

There seems to be a recent v2 of a javascript port (i.e. Tesseract v4 compiled to wasm), if anyone wants to do OCR in their browser:

This seems like a good deal to me. Anytime I have interacted with government I have interacted with decay and failure.
The bullet list seems to describe Twitter.

I've wondered why most publishers of comments don't just give up and say "comment on Twitter." Not that I would like that, but still ...
For simplicity's sake assume we have two short train lines, one takes one hour from start to finish, one takes two hours. They always meet at the same point, everything works out. But if you can improve the track to speed up line 1 by 10 minutes everything goes out of sync.
Never understood OpenShift.

If you don't use the serverless benefit of "not having to manage your own infra" what do you win?
When you have that much cash and are expected to deploy it into venture capital, its almost bgg impossible to not put it into companies like wework. You need hugely overvalued companies. You cant sit in your money because your investors (sovereign wealth funds etc) demand to see their money put to work, and you cant invest in strong seed stage companies because they don't move the needle. It means they almost have less power here since they absolutely deploy capital, and Son does not have the sort of goodwill from partners that someone like Buffet has to sit on a giant pile of cash until good investment opportunities emerge.

You think hotels put cameras in your room?

AirBnB is on the side of disclosure for this specific problem, which isn't a problem in hotels unless someone is breaking the law.
Are people spreading such FUD shorting Wework? They are selling a very real service and people seem to pay a lot of money for it. How is this not a good business?
These are some great suggestions. My main motivations for leaving the US are to be closer with my family and because I miss the European lifestyle. I live in NYC and life here is very hectic, with little breaks and a very transitory vibes. A lot of my friends move constantly and I find ut hard having a steady base of friends.

I agree on the going in cold part. It’s probably a good idea to spend a longer vacation with work remote (which I can do) before doing the final move. That might enable me to re-engage with a lot of my friends and professional contacts.

Where are you moving back from and what were your motivations to move back?
Fair enough, I'll concede that point.
> why should there be, exactly? Such a career move benefits oneself and ones family. No one else.

Because it proves they are decent people I guess?
Why? I see this argument all the time without real backing. The CEO is renting some of his apartment to wework, and that makes wework a real estate company how?
If you are going to bring your kind stuff back to earth, earthlings might stop you.
That is what the part of this idea that Walter is tackling first, See https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/DIP1021.md

The short of it is that the compiler will enforce that the same pointer is not provided to function more then once at the call site.
Sounds like the words of someone who didn't grow up in a city, currently/recently lives/lived in one they dislike, and hasn't found happiness somewhere else.
At least in the UK, this would not be considered unethical I don’t think.

It’s standard practice to buy a building personally and rent it back to your own company. It’s what accountants recommend you do.
Great list. Can you explain the impact of "Increase of monopolized corporate media" ?
Heh, I was kind of expecting that. But it was still amusing to read.

We fought to get rid of this, man. People marched, rioted, and died for labor rights. It's sad that our current situation is so appalling that making your boss your landlord and mayor is seen as a reasonable thing to do.

That being said, this company is solving a real problem that will impact real people. For all our political gesturing in these comments, at least there is a recognized need for change and some people are trying to use the system to fix it.

Essentially only very high end digital backs from hasselblad/phase one have 16 bit ADCs, but people disagree if it’s even required, the last two bits are basically noise.
It doesn't have nominal interest, but since it's pegged to a variety of financial instruments it will effectively bear interest (positive or negative) with respect to any currency.

Facebook wants to do two things:

1 Bank the unbanked or underbanked in developing countries. This is key because anybody in these countries with a smartphone will have a good banking service and be able to pay for things like they do with WePay in China. The user experience and network effect will probably be better than anything the local banks could offer. Also the currency will be more stable and remittances will be almost frictionless.

2 Have these newly banked use Libra for their day to day transactions. The more money they put on the platform the more interest FB collects. Even if they don't do it now, FB will eventually integrate Libra with their other services like ads (both from a payments and data-gathering perspective) and FB marketplace.

By making their bank account a "cryptocurrency" FB can try to circumvent the hundreds of differing banking standards and regulations around the world. But ultimately this is going to cause a death by a thousand cuts. It's actually a legitimate national security issue for many countries to have large portions of their internal economy being controlled by mostly American corporations in a foreign currency.
Being a good business tends to involve making money. WeWork lost $1.9 billion in 2018, and expects to lose even more this year.

That certainly puts a very different angle on how this will be used, and what use cases it's targeted towards.

From prior experience, Vox outlets are extremely stringent about what they permit in their comments: specifically, only people who agree or can extend the arguments of a given article further are preserved; or quibbles about minor details. No true discussion is allowed outside the article's bubble.

I have some trouble seeing the point of a Go compiler/implementation without any working GC, or with the only GC being a problematic mark+sweep implementation. Is this just a proof-of-concept effort, or do they expect to add workable GC down the line?
OK, I'll try to imagine it. I'll assume you don't mean living like Trump did, in a personally owned tower with lots of servants including chefs and drivers. Note that I actually do have 12 kids. Imagining...

I herd my 12 kids down from my far-too-small apartment. My wife and I go in separate elevator cars so that we can fit. We'll go enjoy a trendy restaurant because we're city people and we do that. We walk along toward the subway station, sometimes stepping out into traffic to avoid tents. Every 30 seconds, we count the children to make sure that we have the same number we started with. We really should do more than count, in order to prevent substitutions. Sometimes we have to back up to find a kid who is slow. Sometimes we must run to stop a kid who is running ahead. We check shoelaces, then lead the kids onto the escalator. At the platform, we continue counting while keeping kids away from the platform edge. Once the subway arrives, we get on, hopefully 100% of us. We guard the door to make sure nobody exits before the correct stop. At the correct stop, we herd them off, hopefully getting 100% of them onto the platform. We check shoelaces again, and then head up the escalator. We continue on our way, counting as we go. The kids are tired. Some need to pee, without warning. Too late! We find the restaurant. People glare at us. Oops, backtrack for a missing kid, hopefully not swiped or squished or infected. Again we go to the restaurant. We order a meal. It's only $1400 for the family, such a deal. Oh, they want to tack on a huge tip for themselves, so more. People are still glaring at us. Food gets dropped. A glass slides off the table and shatters, splattering the drink on several people. At least my kids don't scream and throw things, so I get some credit for that. Now we can go to the parkland or activities, but several kids are looking sleepy. Well, back home we go. This happens 3 times per day, every day, just so we can eat. We can't possibly carry enough overpriced groceries home for cooking, and anyway the kitchen in our apartment is a joke. We just have to accept spending $1,533,000 per year to eat.

It took a few clicks to find the license so here it is: Apache v2. Not bad, I've been looking at open source social network software recently and unfortunately all the widely used ones are AGPL3. I get the benefits but I could find anything reasonably of remotely similar quality that was even GPL3.
In earnest, I do not believe that a lack of population is the biggest hurdle in ensuring that people won't go extinct. I would suspect that climate change, geopolitical tensions, and poverty are larger factors.

That's not the reality of this situation. They are fragmenting the market on purpose in order to "build a moat". You can't complain about piracy anymore. We can see what happens when there is a paid alternative. People stop pirating and use it. If you don't offer a paid alternative to piracy because you want to squeeze extra profit from fragmentation then tough luck when people start pirating. Honestly I think content should be a highly regulated market with a set price and open marketplace. What we have today is cable 2.0 and cable died because it doesn't work.
