That's a regressive tax that punishes people who are unable to have children due to health problems, sexual identity, living conditions, or even failure to get laid. People who do have children should be taxed more instead because they're more successful, and they're the ones who benefit from higher taxes anyways due to publicly-funded education and social programs.

Wouldn't the browser allow you to inspect the cert and choose to continue the connection? Then you can decide for yourself if you trust the cert.
I submit that a filter predicate is an instance of the strategy pattern. The biggest difference between the two approaches is that one makes for a much less interesting UML diagram, so nobody ever really bothered to declare it a Design Pattern® and stick it in a long-winded book that we force college students to read.

I'm pretty sure it's easier to sort by -timestamp than to run a complex ranking model across all recent tweets (which would have to be windowed by timestamp anyway), and then sort by the output of that.

Seems to me like they are going out of their way to force their "top tweets" algorithm on users.
Much of it is unique to an urban city: the existence of a subway, the need to use one because there is no parking, the apartment (including kitchen) being small, the cost of food, the use of elevators, the people in tents.

Much of the rest is in your statement of what to imagine: using a restaurant, not being in traffic.

Hi there -- this is Brian from Rent the Backyard.

We don't see bankruptcy as quite inevitable as you do :) In all seriousness, as written somewhere else on this thread:

"We will need to eventually give custodial ownership to a larger entity (think big bank) in the medium term to mitigate the risk of our company going under for the homeowner, such that, if the worst-case scenario happened to our company, the homeowner continues to make rental income as usual."

I feel like walrus operators, while a cool construct, are at odds with "The Zen of Python".

Specifically "There should be one -- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."

If this was any other language, the addition would be welcome, but I feel that the walrus operator fundamentally disagrees with what python is about.

It's not about terseness and cleverness, it's about being clear, and having one way to do things (Unless you are Dutch).

I appreciate the person on the IRS valuation board saying "we didn't consider the eagle issue" "saying it was worth $0 made us cringe". WTF?

The only reason to be on a valuation committee is to give a real valuation. Its got nothing to do with whether or you like the market value.
Hey, good to meet you here on HN!

I wish you all the best in your new business. I would be happy to see you succeed.

On the loan part, have you considered offering the ADU as an investment opportunity for private parties? E.g. someone has 100k in cash, can't afford a home, but can invest in the ADU being built by someone else. No loans = less cost, less friction.

Also, the ADU appreciates the value of the home, sure. I think you should find a way to size this appreciation for the home owner (it will be a lot in most cases); it will never be an exact number, but you can do an appraisal for 300-400$ for a few homes, and use the diff to show other clients that it makes a lot of sense to invest in it.

In fact, building an ADU is almost always a great investment. You give up on backyard space, in exchange for rentable real estate. Hard to beat.

There's always motive when someone does something. People don't do things for no reason or just because they are crazy. The question is why did she do the thing that she did. When I look at all realistic scenarios someone may have unhooked the bra.

Seemingly lost in the hoo-hah surrounding the the loss of Turkey's participation in the F35 project is the very likely loss of all the F35 money ALREADY SPENT BY Turkey.

"History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes."

Way back in 1914, the Navy of Turkey had raised by public contribution the huge cost of two dreadnoughts which were to be built by Britain for the Turkish Navy. They had ALREADY PAID Britain for those two battleships. But Britain's Winston Churchill requisitioned those two ships without recompense to Turkey. Turkey was outraged, and the main result was that Turkey joined WW1 on the German side.

Winston's smartass actions led to huge blowback less than six months later when his disastrous Dardanelles Campaign at Gallipoli caused the unnecessary deaths of about a hundred thousand Allied soldiers and the loss of about 10 warships as well as 8 submarines, for no benefit whatsoever.

The West may have forgotten all about those two stolen Turkish battleships. I'll bet that the Turks haven't.
Hi there -- this is Brian from Rent the Backyard.

These kit homes definitely exist -- the big problem is that the site work is often 50%+ of the actual costs of installing the unit. We definitely intend on bringing down site costs as we make our units lower impact on the property on which we build.

You can, no-one is going to leap out of the bushes and mug you for doing so.

That said, you lose some of the advantages that come with modern tooling and frameworks such as easily breaking things down into components, using the latest language features before browsers ship them (I'm looking at you mobile safari) and handling things like minification, tree-shaking etc.

BUT that is OK, if you are happy with the tradeoff.
I wonder if it would be plausible to use this with webgl via WASM... Or if anyone's working on a javascript implementation of the algorithm.

Good text rendering/layout is about the only thing I feel like I'm missing from being able to pretty simply/rapidly create 3d apps with web tech these days. I still end up typically just overlaying DOM elements over the scene :/
Each executor within the cluster would use Arrow in-memory design. If you have enough cores and memory on a single node then potentially you wouldn't need a cluster.
The best explanation I read was that IBM has bet the farm on Linux as a major dependency, Red Hat was a major contributor with successes they couldn't achieve, and IBM basically internalized a dependency on Red Hat to be in control with maybe other benefits down the line. Now the biggest, two contributors to Linux are the same company. I could see them doing a huge deal just for that.

> How many people feel comfortable taking children on public transportation

In major American cities, kids are taken on public transportation all the time. Often big groups of school kids are in transit for a museum field trip downtown.
Thanks, I assumed something like that for their instance of the platform, but the code is there to launch an independent instance of the platform, if desired.
> How many people feel comfortable taking children on public transportation or allowing to roam the middle of cities?

Public transit? Most everyone in cities that really depend on it like NYC.
In CIS states they prefer the term thermo-rectal cryptanalysis. A soldering iron in one's nether regions does wonders for extracting secrets.
The article is based on the assumption that upper management is just trying to throw out new UI for no reason other than to say they did something new.

The reality is these companies change the UI because some metric told them that the new design will bring in the most ad revenue with the least risk. They know most people don't care, and those that do will become apathetic. They don't care about your taste or feelings, just about the percent likelyhood you will click on an ad.

I'm not saying this to be overtly adversarial to these companies, but it is a little naive to think they 1) are just arbitrarily changing things or 2) don't know that people will hate it, but it's a calculated risk.
> Can you have 1 million entities and let them all think with stackful coroutines and achieve acceptable frame rates?

Yes. With Erlang (or Elixir). Even have them preempt each others, accept connections and respond in a timely manner. If any crash, I they can be restarted without much of an issue. Just saw a few cluster nodes spike to above 1 millions processes recently, then recover, no big deal.

This actually looks pretty interesting. It's not that often that a genuinely new approach comes along in this space. Mostly we just see frameworks rehashing ideas and selecting slightly different tradeoffs from the same set of constraints. This actually shifts the constraints. Will be interesting to see if this (and Micronaut in general) manages to get uptake or not. At least even if it doesn't, hopefully the approach rubs off on other frameworks.
I lived in Manhattan, so I'm pretty clear on my description. And it's true, the suburbs are hostile, too. You just use your lot and single family home to try to reconstitute a usable environment.

Just googling the history, so you can understand what happened, is a minimum when having a discussion about history. Whoever went so far as to wasting a point downmodding me, didn't even do that.
Yes, but it's weird that all the providers did this. I think in that analogy, what's happening is like Apple (the competitor to beat) at the time also started offering Android phones as soon as Android started to get traction.

It makes sense for Microsoft/IBM/Oracle to jump on the k8s bandwagon because they're basically doing the worst/newest entrants but why AWS? They already had CloudFormation, along with lots of energy already dumped into SDKs for various tools (ECS, beanstalk, etc).

There are a few other technologies that could have done this before k8s really took off, like pre-k8s openstack -- why didn't that get adopted?
This is one of those things that badly needs an open source solution, and for which technology exists to solve it really well, but nobody wants to do it because it's a ton of really boring, high-maintenance work.
> Also your ideas of children are way off.

They come from raising a pair of kids, currently aged four and five. We actually have been living on a semi-rural island for the last five years, though.
Once again, this completely fails to capture what is useful about the design decision to allow user supplied strategies. Literally this week I wanted to change the retry logic in an HTTP library but I’m out of luck because it’s just a bag of options, none of which do what I want. Whether it’s a function or an object is irrelevant. We’re taking about design decisions, not code.
Except most men marry women who are about the same age. The gap in average age at first marriage is just two years, and has steadily decreased over the past century.

This is something I hear about a lot. And yet when I walk through places reputed to be full of them, like Denny Park in Seattle, which I walked through today on my way from my office to the library, the worst that I saw was a candy wrapper on the ground.
The arguments in this article seem extremely dramatic, simplistic and unsupported.

Just one example out of many I found in the article: jobs in big cities are the highest paying. Thus, the article quickly announces then moves on, living in a big city equals a “winner takes all” situation, which leads to dramatic inequality.

How does that remotely support such a dramatic conclusion? Does having a bit less paying job mean you have nothing? Do people not commute into the city for work? Do the lower costs of living outside big cities not offset the lower wages? How does this translate into high inequality? Where does all that inequal wealth go when these “childless couples” die? Etc, etc.

I haven’t read the Atlantic in awhile, but this seemed like something I’d find in the opinion section of my local newspaper. So many poorly supported points in this article.
Where did I ask for towers surrounded by isolated green space? Please look into what cohousing, as developed in Scandanavia, actually looks like.
I used OS/2 2.x, but it needed more memory than Windows 3.1 and on the machine I had, Windows ran faster even if OS/2 was more stable.

Later I tried Warp, but when Windows 95 came around, it was better too. Less stable, but better in other ways.

I like this article. It communicates the nuance and complexity of the issues at the time.

Then the question becomes: what counts as a "base" and how much of the surrounding land or other relevant resources are deemed to belong to the base?

Personally, I think land ownership claims around unmanned probes, rovers, and stationary facilities should be kept small, and claims around manned homesteads should not be more than about a mile radius or so, probably less. In the beginning, I think it's good to have policies that encourage settlements with different owners to be located close together, without anyone becoming a real-estate baron. The best land should go to those who have the ability to actually use it, not real-estate speculators.

See also: https://xkcd.com/2125/ as an example of how land claims shouldn't work.
> no, he's being hyperbolic to make the point that in an extreme situation, a default-deny approach could facilitate mass suppression of 'undesirable' traffic without creating an insurmountable backlog of traffic for the 'bad actor state' to review in determining what to process further.

Only it doesn't, because as soon as they allow anything, everything else starts to look enough like whatever is still allowed to make it through, because that's the only way to make it through.

Slashing away more things only increases the resources people will put behind making arbitrary traffic look like allowed traffic. It trades not having to review everything for having to fight everyone instead of only the people they want to block.

Then some people win, everyone copies the winners' methods to get through, and you're back to square one only now everything looks even more like everything else than it did before.

Adopting a new framework can be tricky. IMO it's okay to write about "the process of learning" to show that it isn't always a breeze. Posts like this can give perspective to both learners and experienced practitioners.

Speaking for myself, I've enjoyed learning React, though looking back on my first project I can see I've made some pretty bad mistakes with my use of state. I don't know if there is a guide I could have read to avoid these mistakes, or if I just needed to struggle through it.

We used it in production for a few months with around 4k QPS and a P99 of ~100ms. We specifically were using it because it has a "follow the workload" feature where it moves ranges of data to the server/region where they're most used.

We ran into a few panics (crashes) but support was great and they managed to fix the issues within a few days. Ultimately we stopped using it after multiple cascading failures that ended up bringing down the whole cluster. Granted we were running 4-core nodes with high CPU utilization so I'm sure it would've performed better with more cores but it wasn't in our budget.
I don't know if we can equate complex geopolitics with creating a code base. Countries are not computers and people are not deterministic algorithms.

> My view remains that this was the purpose of Kubernetes: to scorch the earth ahead of ECS. Google had nothing to lose by doing so.

I agree, but avoided saying it to try to not seem like a crackpot. I'm fairly sure I have a comment to the same tune somewhere in the back of HN somewhere (or maybe somewhere else).

Also in the sounds-like-what-a-crackpot-would-say category of thoughts -- I don't trust the CNCF. Similar to how I don't trust the OIN.

> The Service Catalog is based on the Open Service Broker API, which in turn was extracted from the Cloud Foundry Service Broker API. I hear folks say "it's not declarative", but typically this turns out to mean "it's not a YAML file". The fact is that OSBAPI is literally about telling the platform: hey, I need a service for this app. The brokerage process then works out how that's achieved. One such mechanism is Operators, there are also brokers that can apply Helm charts.

No comment about this, "declarative" is just tacked on onto things as marketing fluff these days. OSBAPI is plenty declarative to me; you're telling it what you want instead of how to provide what you want.

> The major difference is really about the CRDs as the point of interface. There's a fork or project somewhere which presents OSBAPI as CRDs (ie, YAML submitted to a remote REST endpoint) instead of as CLI commands (ie, JSON submitted to a remote REST endpoint). I feel like that's the best of both worlds. You keep the internal consistency of service discovery, service binding and service injection, plus the thing that really adds value: checking the YAML into revision control.

Though heavily simplified, do I have the difference (written below) correct?

API version:

0) User wants cloud provided service X

1) User makes service catalog CLI request (a web request is made to the broker)

CRD version:

0) User wants cloud provided service X

1) User creates a CRD

2) Controller sees created CRD and makes web request to the broker

If this is right, it seems like a very small difference.

It's definitely not a perfectly competitive market but this trope about GAFAM being monopolies is tiring. A monopoly can stagnate development on their product, raise prices and there's nothing customers can do because they have literally no other option. That is why monopolies are bad.

If Google were to try and charge users for search, everyone would immediately switch to bing which keeps them in check from raising prices like they would if they were the only provider of search. They are in no way a monopoly.

Did we watch the same hearing? David Marcus was pretty explicit about wallets and exchanges (i.e. on/off-ramps) being regulated but never mentioned (rather successfully dodged questions about) the Association facilitating on-chain AML and instead pointed out that law enforcement could do their own on-chain analysis.

To be honest, the whole money laundering point is so overblown anyway. For comparison, Bitcoin's transaction history is totally transparent and fairly simple to run basic clustering and taint analysis algorithms for deanonymization. People trying to avoid AML need perfect OPSEC and extreme discipline not to recombine change outputs. In Libra the privacy is even worse, since it uses an account-based model. I greatly suspect that it is easier to avoid AML in our existing system than it would be in a Libra world.

FWIW, if you're trying to avoid AML today, then you should use ZCash or Monero. Both have cryptographic privacy that hides both the amount and sender+receiver.

That doesn't surprise me, but the way a bank would do it is this: 1) loan you the capital to build the structure, 2) create a payment schedule, 3) try to collect on that payment if you miss it.

You could then declare bankruptcy if necessary, which means you'd keep the structure and have some sort of way out from under the debt.

If Rent the Backyard has an ownership stake in the structure, it sounds like they could continue leasing the unit even after you declared bankruptcy.
