There's also software that was created to solve a specific problem that got misappropriated to do something else

There used to be an ISP called pilot.net. It was a crappy ISP but to solve its ISP billing problem it wrote a billing system for telcos.

There was a company that tried competing with AWS selling hosting based on hyperthreads of CPUs. It wrote its own provisioning system because it did not want to pay for Virtuozzo. The company's name used to be dotCloud.

The reason why browsers are moving to features like DoH and eSNI as defaults is because it's every type of nation that is now instituting pervasive surveillance against its citizens

Bingo. And why not?

Because California property owners don't want it to. The artificial scarcity drives up property values. Take a look at Brisbane, they fought residential development tooth and nail claiming that people should just work in Brisbane but live in San Francisco.
Broadcom?
> Additionally, Mozilla is also working with ISPs to make sure users won't use DoH as a way to bypass legally-set blocklists.

Wait, what? Surely making DNS private and non-censorable is the whole point of DoH?
the next step is eSNI and judging by the DoH rollout that will also be a new level of controversy advocating against it

Docker for Mac is a performance nightmare. It requires state of the art $3400 macbook pro to run properly, and even then still takes seconds (or 10s of seconds) to spin up, start local servers, etc. Build processes that would've run locally take 3-10x longer running on docker for mac. The whole thing can be quite frustrating.

By contrast, about 37,000 people work at Goldman. Those people with the name “trader” in their title are simply executing client trades as a service for fees—-not speculating with the banks own money.

I believe they experimented with this in the late 90's early 00's. I recall seeing job ads for rural remote workers doing exactly this kind of work.

I preferred the old mac solution where they didn’t try to hide the vm from you. It was much more straightforward.
Let's just not even talk about the fact that regulation is the reason why housing is scarce, let's just assume California is 100% at capacity. How the hell does rent control increase turnabout? It just let's people who got in at the right time have their status as a resident enforced indefinitely, when there are plenty of people who are willing and able to pay far more in order to live there.
Existing homeowners don't want their living space turned into downtown Manhattan because there's a temporary exorbitant demand for ad click optimization and pic sharing networks.
Where did you see that? I've never come across that reputation before, only that the JVM has more usage (in high-perf scenarios) because it was cross-platform and had a bigger community.

.NET always had very good performance and the new .NET Core cross-platform framework and runtime is now consistently among the fastest in various performance benchmarks for all kinds of applications.
> Why does rent control deter creation of new housing?

If you have a lot of money and you want to build/buy a rental property, would you do it in a) a growing city with no rent control where your discounted future cash flows are unbounded or b) a city where there is a law placing a ceiling on your returns.

All else being equal, you are going to choose the city without rent control to build your new housing units in (or invest in something other than real estate altogether), thus illustrating how rent control disincentives new investment in housing, and specifically low-income rental housing.
> Housing in Silicon valley doesn't grow at the same rate as number of people coming here

To be clear, the population is growing faster than the housing stock.

> Rent control or low income housing are essential tools to make ordinary Americans’ lives better.

How exactly does this address the problem that there are more people than housing? It addresses it for some (the select few low-income residents who were lucky enough to get a below-market rate unit and people already renting), but squeezes everyone else into even fewer units. It doesn't even help "ordinary" people; it helps two specific groups.
I've seen this argument before. Why shouldn't it be an investment?

1. Land is a limited resource.
2. Property improvements last for a very long time, and are incrementally improved.
3. The buy-in price is relatively high, so only very interested parties get involved.
4. It's a home for goodness sake, why would you not call it an investment?
My local mcdonalds has 3 panels and no cashiers at all except drive thru. People use them all the time and this is BFE Texas. Assistance is available of course, via the people who would normally bring out your order,for people who can't use them properly.
The point is that society can address more than one problem (or more than one aspect of a problem) at once. The reasoning I responded to seemed to be following the tired cliche of dismissing any problem as not worthy of attention because children are still starving.
In this case N=2 is very different from N=1. The probability of detecting further Earth-like planets is not influenced by the existence of Earth, because what we're actually measuring is the conditional probability of detecting Earth-like planets given the existence of Earth, which already factors Earth in. In this case N=1 is a lot more like N=0 and N=2 is a lot more like N=1.
It's a rental property. It was built up to maximize profitability in flipping.

It was burned down or something some years back. Previous owners probably took the cash from it going down, sold the rest, moved away, and then someone bought it, rebuilt it, and made a shit load. https://www.google.com/maps/place/1683+Newcomb+Ave,+San+Fran...

No one would own it to live in now. The neighborhood is not good and is why it's priced accordingly. It's an investment/rental property.
You having problems reading your past posts? You just basically said evil Republicans are blocking common sense housing solutions and indicated the solution is an even greater proportion of Democrats but then said that a Democrat blocked it and their numbers don't matter.
They'd have to start over from scratch with a new piece of legislation to do that.

Many of the legislators who supported it specifically cited this aspect of the bill, so I don't think such a change would make it through.

Ask HN: Would allowing multiple querystrings in URLs allow more scalable APIs?
Imagine if could GET

I know it's ugly and not legal URI syntax, but this could cut N GETS into one, where, as one possibility, the server could compile the path into the separate requests (if necessary). Then again, I guess this transformation could happen client-side.

It seems like repeated filtering is always involved in getting some desired resource; it would be great to get this with one request. Perhaps that newcomer GraphQL addresses this by design.

Often I wonder if the best HTTP API would involve the remote execution of some non-turing-complete query-language guaranteed to terminate. Just select, filter, basic "joins", etc.
Same here. His McD's must have cheaped out.
If you are paycheck to paycheck, the immediacy of needing work can drive you to do something else. Then it just gets harder and harder to get back into the industry.
A better way to think about it is that a social norm that constrains landlords will be completely upended by the new legal norm. This legal norm will likely encourage behavior that otherwise wouldn't be exhibited, due to unintended consequences - in particular the landlord's estimation of what other landlords are going to do under the new law.

> The housing crisis is reaching every corner of America, where you’re seeing high home prices, high rents, evictions and homelessness that we’re all struggling to grapple with,” said Assemblyman David Chiu

Chiu is being misleading, to put it mildly.

The median home value in Texas is under $200,000; in Dallas it's only $213,000. In Florida it's $235,000; in Tampa it's $219,000. In Illinois it's $182,000; in Chicago it's $226,000. In Pennsylvania it's $174,000; in Pittsburgh it's $146,000. In Ohio it's $140,000; in Cincinnati it's $144,000. And so on. So much for every corner of America.

In California it's $548,000; in San Francisco it's $1.3 million. California's housing problems are in fact not a national problem.

I literally laughed out loud! This is the first time I've seen Silicon Valley's housing/rent issues blamed on foreigners! Poor poor American victims!

The problem is much simpler, it's one of supply and demand. That's it.

Moreover, ironically, one could argue that waiting for the government to step in and save the people from the, gamed by the foreigners apparently, market is very unAmerican.

Actually, existing property owners benefit. So really is populism--the only people it hurts are landlords and people who don't live there yet.

It hurts the owners who would be receiving the wealthy newcomers' money.

It doesn't solve anything directly, but it's an attack on the prosperity of the people who are maintaining artificial restrictions on new construction.

A laissez-faire approach to both construction and rent would probably be a better option. But that's already not happening, and it's not going to happen without pressuring homeowners and landlords to stop opposing construction.

Gingrich wasn't Speaker until 1995. Anything Clinton signed in 1993 came through a Democrat-controlled House and Senate.

I'm usually the one on my phone, and when I'm not the user I'm almost always aware of who the user is and I've granted them permission to access the device. The level of security cannot be not objectivly measured across all threat surfaces or catagories of potential bad actors.

The parent poster said "login with phone number" but that should be understood as login with a one time password by demonstating access to the receiving end of a fairly private and relatively difficult to intercept communication channel (physically controlling the client registered to receive messages destined for your phone number on the SS7 network). The authentication factor effectively becomes something have (your phone) whereas a password is something you know which allows for a much larger pool of potential bad actors (with a realistic means of gainig access).

SMS factor works more like a physical key your in possesion of that can be used to set a new combination (secret/password) for future access. In practice, combinations (passwords) are forgotten much more often than keys (phones) are lost or compromised.

Housing in California is fixed because of zoning and construction regulations.

And who decides these zoning laws? Typically cities and counties. Unfortunately Prop 13 has incentivized building out retail properties (sales tax revenue) over all else. So let's start by doing away with Prop. 13 protections for everything but primary residences. Then, change the statewide zoning laws to encourage/require available housing before non-residential property can be built. Want 2,500 office units? Fine, but if you don't have 2,500 residences available those need to be built first. Or maybe have the state keep 75% of the property tax revenue of new developments until the housing requirements are met. That money can then be used to subsidize affordable housing.
> Maybe Americans aren't irrational

They are irrational because they want the healthcare and the retirement pensions and everything else but just don't want to be taxed for it. Which is why the U.S. has huge budget deficits.

Or maybe they're just too credulous, believing the tripe sold to them by the have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too brigade who keep lowering taxes but never decrease spending because otherwise they'd be voted out of office.

Lol, happy to provide the entertainment.

Just to be more precise from an example I am intimately familiar with-

* picky in this case means "specific"- specific products or combinations of products are required to satisfy a given child's nutritional demands. One can bellow like the dad in Calvin and Hobbes- "if they're hungry enough they'll eat it"- but that will be to no avail.

* actual individual serving sizes of these specific products are often at least $1, and combinations of those servings are needed on a per eating event basis.

* "snacking" means that it's more like there are 4-5 eating events of $3+ per day per kid

* packaging, portion sizes, product lifespan and pickiness mean that a lot of food- probably 40-50%- gets thrown away, either not eaten during a meal or not gotten to before it "goes bad."

From a recent daily trip that bled for $60:

* oat milk - $1+/serving for a wannabe vegetarian environmental activist

* quick cook oatmeal - $1/serving (and don't forget the cranberry raisins, also $1/serving)

* bagel - $1/serving

* cream cheese - $1/serving

* cut fruit - $5/serving (snack!)

* yogurt - .75/serving (cheap!)

* specific brand of peanut butter granola - $2/serving

* non-nut snack bars - $1/serving

The "whole" thing is insane.
If the court rules that Uber drivers are employees per the AB5, my guess is there will be no more drivers with 40 hours a week. Ride sharing companies will just do what fast food has done and cap working hours at 29 per week to avoid healthcare benefits. This will also mean that neither uber or lyft can capture the market, because they will need each-other to supplement hours to the drivers.
