I've commented below... there's an old book called "Linux Core Kernel Commentary" which is based on the Lion's book. It's a great read.

There's a Xinu book which is similar, but without the accompanying source code.
It's puzzling that this focuses on the US. It's framing the question so that those of "we" in the most vulnerable regions are not even considered.
"There are also three long subsections about music licensing."

In return for offering tenants flexible month to month office space at heavily discounted rent, WeWork get’s the business tax break. I don’t see any reason for outrage.

Hardly. There are other creditors, and if you aren't worried about credit at all (and there are other ways to build credit), then you can use cash, buy gift card variants of their products which don't link to you, use some other provider (paypal), or some other form of payment entirely in some cases (e.g. cryptocurrency). There are more choices now than ever before.

> Taken together, these put "abuse" of a "business relationship" is in the exact same category as interjected actions by "third" parties - unwanted transgressions.

The only way I can read this is as you condoning additional violations of someone's privacy just because you think it's for the best this time. As I've noted, I don't think your value judgements have any place in my life, nor my interactions with other parties.

This has nothing to do with whether the whether the credit card company was justified in doing what they did, it has to do with people minding their own business and not violating other people's privacy. If you think the credit card companies are going too far, then calk to the authorities for legal action or legislative remedy. I applaud that action, but I don't want your vigilante activism, and I don't condone breaking the law by people that think they're more special than other people because they're doing it for "a good reason" or because "it's really just helping people".

I guess it's nice that you wouldn't do it yourself, but why would you applaud someone doing something that you wouldn't do yourself? It's real simple, if you can't or don't want to ask for permission to do something for someone else, then you shouldn't be doing that thing.

NetNewsWire is a wonderful piece of software. I remember it being a part of my daily routine back in 2005ish but then it got bought and bought again and I couldn't afford the price of it (thanks Great Recession!) so I stopped using it. It has been graciously returned to the hands of Brent Simmons, its original developer, who has himself graciously made it Open Source and as fantastic as it ever was.

Ask HN: Do people with families start companies?
I've been having this anxiety a lot lately, since the topic of having a family is becoming more of a reality in my life. In a way, I feel pressured to try any startup ideas I have right now, because I'm afraid that it won't happen once I start a family.

Is this consistent with other people's experience? Do people start successful companies after they've had kids? Is it hard to get investment?
Show HN: Web Scraper to Discover New Content Creators Every Week
Bodies aren't finite state machines and the concept of "modes" can be misleading. What you have is a (very large) number of independent processes that have differing amounts of flow under different conditions.

So, for example, you don't click from building muscle to consuming muscle. What happens is that catabolism has a higher flow than anabolism, so the net balance is negative.

As the body becomes leaner in starvation conditions, processes that recover energy from gluconeogenesis or from lipolysis cannot produce "enough" energy. So feedback loops that suppress the breakdown of organ tissue weaken and eventually that loop shifts.
This thread on the pretentiousness of the peleton ads (which clearly work for them) is a bit of fun:

Spotify should allow for 3rd party independent players. It is not possible to make single perfect music app for billions of customers.

I do not like the direction Spotify app is evolving. I understand that they would like to control user experience, promote podcasts, in-house playlists etc but this is not what I like. Multiple competing Spotify players for different user niches would be a better way to go then single app.
Not certain that this can be considered a Show HN, but I made a little tool for school that scrapes the web for new content creators in niches that you are interested in and sends a personalized list to you every Friday. Once you sign up you'll also get an email by the next day.

Just enter your email and a list of niches you love, and hopefully you'll learn about some new, great creators. My friends have been using it and have found some really cool creators with it that they now follow.

Let me know if you have any feedback I'll make sure to improve the tool!
I was going to suggest this book when I see I'm late to the party, so I'll just have to add my voice to the chorus.

Really cool to be introduced to coursedog. It’s funny to hear your experience of higher ed software, because I work in a public high school and we have a very similar challenge re: catalog management and curriculum planning, but the landscape of solutions is nonexistent.

If anyone knows of a provider that would work with a high school on these points, we would be first in line.
Could you elaborate on it please? It seems vapes create particles of comparable size to what is reported here. Also inhaling H2O2 can be toxic beyond a certain concentration. But I'm not sure what is the concentration here. The last paragraph is interesting though:

I disabled every notification on all my devices even text messages and calls (precisely two people make my phone ring, my mum who is disabled and my partner who I’ve spoken to twice on the phone in 3 years, she hates talking on the phone as much as me).

The device exists to serve me not the other way around, I’ll look at it when I want to.
I provided some of the data used in this article (via FOI-request, used at sqwyre.com).

The scale of the number of the hereditaments (taxable units) is remarkable and overloads local tax authorities. We're talking thousands, with regular tenant changes. Even in central London, there are only a handful of municipal staff to deal with all businesses.

What you end up with is equivalent to a denial-of-service attack against rates authority staff. They're overwhelmed.

That's the real risk to communities. If tax relief claims are industrialised, it puts endless pressure on the services those taxes were supposed to pay for. These are local taxes, so that's libraries, community centres, road maintenance, etc.

WeWork may not be a tech company when it comes to what they're selling, but it is when it comes to how they deal with tax.
Interesting! I was having a conversation last weekend with a friend when I asked "How many objects can you count without counting, you just know the answer". I didn't know the name for it. For me the answer is three, four if they are in a good arraignment, five is almost always a group of three and two.

I just was recently introduced to this and other discussions on city planning by a couple of great youtube series by donoteat1[1]. "Franklin" and "Power, Politics, and Planning" are some of the best and most humorous examinations of topics like parking minimums, public housing, gentrification, etc. I've come across. The presenter is highly left-leaning, but also knowledgeable and backs up his positions with data. Agree or disagree with his views, it's informative either way!

It's opened my eyes much more to how cities are actually planned and the problems posed by politics over the ages - the conflict between public good and private interest, and how specific policies affect cities and their accessibility to people of various economic statuses. Would recommend if you enjoyed this article and want more related topics to learn about.

Bought some books in France and shipping to US was ~$10. It never arrived and contacted seller who sent another. A month later the 1st shipment arrives. So I contact the seller to let them know. They want it back and will cover the return shipping. So I go to USPS who informed me shipping to France was $90. At that rate it would be cheaper for me to fly with it, 2x25kg checked bags are a hell of a lot cheaper.

While I was living abroad my mom would send me care packages and I had no idea what it was costing her to ship it. I would send her aboriginal carvings or SE Asian cooking utensils all the time and it didn't cost nearly as much.

Here's the specific way they're accomplishing eligibility from the article:

> Here’s how the tax arrangements work: WeWork divides each of its properties into dozens or even hundreds of individual areas. Each of those spaces, known as hereditaments, is then separately assessed for tax purposes.

> That allows the company to claim back the taxes on any area that is empty or small enough to be eligible for relief if they are occupied by a small company with no other offices.

I feel like pretty much any company could qualify under these conditions, if you declared your office building a desk access pool and declared income on each segment as an individual employee. It seems super weird that WeWork should be able to consider contiguous office space as separate isolated offices.
I bought one. I like it because it's pretty high quality, I didn't have to pay cash ( using Affirm it's 62/mo /39 months), and I was able to test ride 2 of them for free ( apartment complex has a gym with one, but very hard to get a time to ride ). My girlfriend likes it because it saves tons of time compared to driving to e.g. SoulCycle or a spin class and they have nice social features like a competition ladder. But I don't do the classes, I just use it for the free ride.I try to set new PRs in terms of wattage, peak HR etc. Edit: I also like that you can sync your heart rate/ distance to Apple Health and it counts towards your rings in Apple Activity/Apple Watch.
This is a massively complicated and nuanced issue that has kicked around the Supreme Court in the UK.

Here's the game:

1) There are taxes levied on business users of commercial office property in the UK.

2) Independent small businesses may apply for tax relief if they rent a space that has a rateable value of less than £15,000. (1)

3) The intention of this relief was to provide small business users with a fighting chance to be able to afford office space.

4) The "total rateable" value" of a massive open coworking space is obviously higher than £15,000 but if you're a business renting 2 desks maybe you should qualify for the small business relief?

5) Coworking landlords figured out that they could qualify for the tax breaks THEMSELVES if they cut their own properties into dozens (or hundreds) of small plots or pieces called hereditaments.

6) Then in effect you have these hundreds of hereditaments claiming the small business tax and collecting rent from a small business.

WeWork is a slightly worse abuser of the game played by virtually all coworking operators in the UK.

The "coworking" lobby has published a study outlining their view (1).

At the core Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs set up a system that didn't count on the inevitable "enterprise" player paying tax attorneys to abuse them, and the two sides should probably sit down and sort out something reasonable.

But instead they're suing eachother to oblivion and employing armies of attorneys :).

It's baffling to me how everyone seems to hate the guy and say he was a terrible leader, employee, and person, and yet companies seemed to have been valuing him like a diamond. How did that work? Is he just good at duping and persuading and sweet-talking people? Does he have some past accomplishments that were respectable? Does he have some insight into autonomous driving no one else has? Why would Google and Uber bet so much on this guy?
I guess that one of the real problem are the recurring yearly fixed & variable costs of the facility after it has been built (which is often "forgotten" by the politician/s that try to push a project to get votes), which might be a bit challenging for such a small town (~15'000) if it has to maintain as well other existing structures (e.g. swimming pool, museum, etc...).

My town (~10'000) has a library, 3 schools, a big outdoor public swimming pool that can be used as well during wintertimes (gets covered by a roof) + another small swimming pool in one of the schools, a modern art museum, an ice rink, an athletics & football stadium, 3 indoor gyms (a big public one for national competitions + 2 small ones usually used by the schools), a parkour track in the woods, a theatre, a cinema, (maybe I've forgotten something) => it was absolutely no problem building them, but the $ needed for the maintenance&depreciation of the structures and the salaries of the employees was underestimated => now that the town is not anymore in the "big boom"-phase we have a huge budget problem (I'd like to get rid first of the modern art museum but apparently the opposition is very strong and well-connected).

Well, as a guy who has OCD... the "white space" is like heaven for me. I don't like clutter so white space reminds me of peace and calm.
Really? We want less people in any given square mile? People with a certain level of wealth already have (and will likely for a long time maintain) access to that.

If your argument is that semi-rural or suburban living should be made as affordable or desirable as urban living, I think you should provide some evidence for that. By default, it's easier to be less isolated and have access to more infrastructure (healthcare, social, financial, economic, cultural, arts) and to access them at a lower marginal cost due to economies of scale. You also can bring in a level of standardization politically in that one polis can (for better or worse) create political infrastructure that effectively serves more consituents for its base operational costs than a a more rural one.

If your argument is about quality of life, I'd argue that LA is not a great example of a city to use as an example of the ills of population density. It has awful transportation infrastructure and is structured like a giant suburb, in effect. There are cities like Amsterdam, Copenhagen or Berlin in Europe, and in America cities like Chicago or NYC where you can survive biking or taking public transport everywhere. You get access to everything you need to live your entire life without needing a car.

The only thing that you've said that runs contrary to what I value is the idea of people hating living a densely packed apartment complex in the middle of a noisy city. First of all, you can live in a quiet complex in a quiet portion of an otherwise noisy city (I do so in NYC), and second of all, the homestead lifestyle of having "40 acres and a mule" only makes sense in the context of a society wanting sparsely settled land to be settled.

Its end goal does not necessarily result in a happy, free society. I believe that's why you were shot down -- it's not that you failed to articulate your idea properly. It's that your idea was flawed in the first place.
I feel like you're onto something. They take an iPad, slap it on an exercise bike, and charge $2000 for it. I could do that for the cost of the parts. The only thing protecting their business model is their exclusive patent on the idea. Perhaps the patent system is what is truly at fault here?
As I've already stated, how they market themselves, who they market themselves to, the governments/organizations/companies they've worked with, the company's history, statements from the company's founder, etc. In fact, I've found hardly any sources on Palantir that don't mention their work on mass surveillance. Your comments come off a lot like the comments of Facebook engineers when I discuss Facebook's mass surveillance. Regardless of what you think, the majority opinion seems to be that Palantir is largely a mass surveillance big data company (because they are).

On the surface this is basically the Juicero of fitness equipment. If you want a good piece of workout equipment, buy a Concept2 erg. If you want a bike, you can get a carbon-frame bike for the same amount of money and then just get a trainer for it. Ostensibly there is zero reason for this to exist.

The one argument in its favor is that youth sports are usually very heavily subsidized by masters sports. So if you weren't on a varsity sports team in high school or college and didn't learn how to work out properly, then it's easily 5x more expensive to do so as an adult. So maybe there is some value in having someone to teach you how to do basic cardio.
