The Helios probes reached those speeds by starting out much slower than that and then falling toward the sun, speeding up in the process.

To actually hitch a ride with another object you have to match their velocity _and_ their location at the same time.

If the object you are trying to catch started further from the sun than you, and was already moving faster than you, then you can't match its speed and location by falling toward the sun: when you arrive at the same location, it will have fallen further than you and hence picked up more kinetic energy per unit mass than you did, and it started off moving faster than you to start with, so it's still moving faster.
Regulations and taxes drive developers away.
The presumption (right or wrong) is that the problem the first regulations solved is bigger than the problem that the regulations created. After seeing this new (smaller) problem, more regulations are applied creating a new even smaller problem. Making life better.

This may or may not be true, but that is the idea.

In the last few decades, the world has witnessed an explosion of mobile technological innovations like smart phones, ipads and tablets. Consequently, attention has shifted from physical tracking to the tracking of mobile devices. Today, cell phone tracking apps have almost replaced the traditional ways of the past although the services of private investigators are still in demand. This method is quite affordable compared to hiring a private investigator. All you have to do is install a cell phone tracking app on the device of your partner and you will be able to view their phone data on an online platform or through an app on your phone. Even though there are a lot of spy apps to choose from, we have discovered that some of these apps put out misleading offers and there are others that do not work for the purpose for which they are intended. This article recommends the following spy apps:
Dspy
DFlexispy
DSpyzie
Highster mobile
Phonespector
A good cell phone monitoring app will allow you do the following:
Track text messages
Monitor social media accounts
Track call logs and contact
Track GPS location
Track browsing history
Monitor emails
We believe this article has been able to arm you with all the information and resources you need to track your significant other. Kindly exercise extreme caution in going about this should you decide to track your partner and pay close attention to the caveats we mentioned in this article.
Although your point is completely right, once your application is in wasm perhaps you can use directly a wasm vm (wasmer) instead of another transpiler and the jvm :)
>Remember , size of California is fixed

Yeah, fixed at ~164 thousand square miles (~400,000 km^2). Are you for real? Los Angeles and New York City proper (not the metropolitan areas) are interestingly nearly identical in official area at around 468 square miles each. But LA has a density of around 8000/mi^2 while NYC is well over 27000/mi^2. If LA merely matched NYC that'd cover another 10 million or so population by itself. The size of freaking California is not remotely a limiting factor, the limiting factor is not enough high density buildings.
I agree with you when it comes to a mortgage or real-estate only really being worth what it will actively sell for. Real estate by at large isn'r really liquid. I've known a lot of young people who are too quick to take out huge loans and get into "house flipping" only to realize that they're now playing a risky waiting game of when they'll have enough equity to match the cost of fees to actually sell the house combined with the assumption that they'll be able to sell it.

However, as someone who's lived in a large urban area with public housing - I can confidently say that the only real benefit public housing has is reducing the price of high end real-estate in close proximity and increasing petty crime in the area.

Wonder why. (Hint: it keeps wages low and workers tied to their places of employ.)

I'm a landlord and would love decreased housing regulations, even if it decreases the value of my property by increasing supply.
Hah, thanks for the insight.

I was simply thinking, Unintended Consequences in 5,4,3,2,1...but that's one I hadn't thought of. Of course people will push up against the limit in order to buffer out market values.

You could easily see rents above where they should be from a market standpoint simply because of the inertia in a system of annual increases.

It also makes me wonder if you are allowed to increase rents if you improve a dwelling. If not, nothing gets fixed beyond the bare minimum.

Of all the people to take Epstein's money or endorse him with their reputation, of all the slimy people, of all the career politicians, we've decided to mainly just fixate and ruin the life of one well-intentioned nerd who wanted to use the money for research.

I hope everyone feels fuzzy and warm with their self-righteousness. Evil is defeated once more -- and you all helped -- with your brave internet shaming and directed anger. Truly, we live in marvelous times, where we can all gather together online and use the decentralized social networks to conspire and destroy.

Of course, no one here could hope to destroy those who are truly powerful and deserving, so instead every once in a while perhaps we can pick off one of the weaker ones.

But he deserved it! And that's why we write and focus on it, right? What else do people deserve? What else could we have done with this time and energy? Anything greater? If so, why didn't we? Perhaps it's because destroying people feels good -- it's fun.
>Is it possible that California's housing problems are maybe a little more complex than a few out-of-context pull-quotes from Wealth of Nations would suggest?

Yes, which is why a rent-control law is too simplistic to be a solution.

The article is very good, but there is another dimension to be evaluated: There are two futures contracts that attract a lot of trading volume in Brazil: ibovespa futures and dollar/real futures. Both contracts have two tickers each, the "full" and the "mini". So we have: INDFUT, DOLFUT, WINFUT and WDOFUT (those two last are the "minis").

The common lore (or myth) goes as follow: The average trader starts trading paper money in a demo account, then goes to the mini to "learn to feel the pain" and if successful migrates to the full contract.

So, to really have the bigger picture, the study must be expanded to include the four tickers. Them we can really now if the "pros" playing on the full contract are really making any money.

Zero-cost exception handling is only so cheap by excluding a lot of things from the cost/benefit analysis. It adds no extra code to the exception-free path. But it has a few major impacts:

* Exception tables are not particularly small, and can involve extra relocations, which can increase the time it takes to load the binary.

* Every function call where there is a variable with a destructor in scope has an implicit try/catch wrapped around it. This can increase code size tremendously, which hits your instruction cache. And, unlike the unwind tables, the relevant data is in the middle of your code sections, so you can't do tricks like lazy loading of the data.

* Every time you call a function that may throw, you need to break up the basic blocks. So every optimization in the compiler that cannot work across basic block boundaries is going to perform much more poorly with ZCEH.

* Of the various kinds of basic block edges, the exceptional edges are the hardest to reason about (computed goto edges being the second hardest). So many optimizations that can work across basic blocks are still going to bail out in ZCEH conditions.

* It's possible to ameliorate the optimization costs if the compiler can figure out that the callee isn't going to throw an exception and turn a may-throw call into a may-not-throw call. But memory allocation may throw (by default), so anything that might allocate memory (say, adding a value to a std::vector) potentially throws an exception and inhibits optimization.
Just for the sake of argument, let's run with that.

If we're in a physics simulation, we don't experience at the rate that the simulation is processed. One "tick" of the simulation could be processed in one second of the host universe, or one hour: and we wouldn't feel the difference. We are processed at the same tickrate as the rest of the universe, so we experience the passage of time at the same rate that the simulation flows.

The speed of light isn't just the speed of light, it's the speed of causality. It just so happens that light moves pretty well at that "speed limit" (in a vacuum). We could ask our computational hosts to increase or decrease c, and we still wouldn't be able to travel any faster than it.
I've only tried Ritalin and Adderall, both in small 5mg doses (at max 2x per day with breaks on weekends).

Major discussion yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20931644
Article is talking about Flash Developers, who most likely became JS front end developers when the wheels fell off the cart. No need to even know a single algorithm to be a successful front end developer. Any algorithm you can think of, that would possibly be relevant to their job is already implemented in some NPM and probably far better than any of us would implement it.

I value CS degrees and value mine, but reality is, not everyone that writes code, need a CS degree from MIT or Stanford. Bootcamps serve their purpose and I have worked with many self taught and Bootcamp grad developers who went on to be exceptional developers. I myself was self taught before I entered into a CS program and honestly I wish I would have went into applied mathematics. Everything I learned in school I could have self taught by already having a base in programming. I also never use anything I learned in school at my day job since I left AI and 3D dev.

More relevant to the story, aging techs can actually be quite lucrative once you pass the curve of no new people are learning it, and all the skilled workers have left for greener pastures and are not looking back. I have taken some gigs for IBM Universe, VB 6, and COBOL JCL that have been quite lucrative because no one wants to touch them and most of the talent has retired out of the field.

requiring a single commercial entity like github is a really bad idea. Sure it'll be fine for a few years but when github goes belly up or gets bought and the new CEO cuts all extraneous projects, then you're hosed.
Nope, they'll come for the managers first. See Manna by Marshall Brain
> So in other words, landlords love to reserve the right to kick a tenant they stop liking out at the drop of a hat for no specific reason, by jacking the rent up as high as they want.

It's disingenuous to pretend like the landlord is the only party with any control. Landlords cannot remove a tenant at "the drop of a hat" by any stretch of the imagination, nor can they arbitrarily increase rental prices. Rentals usually involve a lease that protects the tenant from arbitrary removal and price modifications as much as it protects the landlord from unexpected vacancy. If you're renting, you should know when your lease is up and know that the landlord has the option not to renew and/or to modify the price. (If you're in California, you should also know that the new law punishes your landlord for trying to do you a solid and keep your rent stable across lease terms.)

On top of conventional lease protections, virtually every state has default tenant protections written into statute that can't be overridden by lease agreements, and that include a default implicit month-to-month tenancy term, providing at least basic protection from out-of-the-blue demands to vacate.

If an eviction must occur, it has to be conducted as prescribed in state law. Tenants overstaying or defaulting on their leases frequently can't be removed without 3-6 months of legal wrangling, which is no fun.
This is nuts. In Iowa this might be unconstitutional as the government is prevented from rewriting contracts.

Good point. Actually, why do they need a restaurant at all? Why not just a kitchen and a window that delivery people or robots go to get the food when its ready.

No, if they stopped making money they would convert to owner occupied as imputed rents are not controlled. Which is what happened.
It's interesting to see the complaint about containers starting too slowly. I haven't seen much discussion about it before this article and this comment thread, but it's one of my biggest pain points with Docker. I know we can save some time by skipping some namespaces (e.g. `--net host`) but I've still never been able to get satisfyingly fast container execution in that way. (e.g. `time echo` -> 0.000s, `time docker run --rm alpine echo` -> 1.3s; come to think of it, this is even slower than it used to be)

Still, Docker is the best method that I've seen for distributing software, especially cross-platform. Not just for shipping a containerized web app to production, but also running dev tools (e.g. linters, compilers) and other desktop and CLI applications. I know some people run lots of stuff in containers (https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles, probably the most prolific), but I think this is a largely underappreciated facet of Docker.

My team at work is heavily Mac while I'm on Linux. The dev workflows are identical on my machine, on their machines, and in Jenkins. Nobody has to have a snowflake setup, installing this or that version of Python, we're all just `docker run`ning the same image. It's great.

Unfortunately, Docker for Mac's IO performance is abysmal. If past performance is any indication of future results, that's never going to change. I'm constantly on the lookout for other ways to share tools cross-platform that don't involve Docker. Things like podman and binctr are exciting, and I've played with them, but I don't see them filling this niche.

This is exactly how I'd like containers to be as well.
I personally disagree. I hated the whole docker-machine rubbish and exporting of the env vars.

That doesn't make the performance problems of docker-for-mac any less nasty though.
I'm not a landlord or homeowner, and 1 makes me cry Big Government.

What if something crazy happens to the economy, say the dollar gets devalued, and all you have is rental property for income? Realistically you would raise your rental price.... But wait, there's a cap, and you can't.

2) "legalizing backyard cottages" is actually against Big Government, and I'm with you there.

You're forgetting another option: deregulate and let the market compete.
What have established protocols got to do with anything? The question at hand is, is Dynamex a good, widely applicable test or not? Yes or no? If it is, then use it. If it isn't, something is severely broken, which you plainly see with so many exemptions, and it should not be used.
I'm picturing someone saying the same thing about Deep Blue a couple of decades ago.

Are we so sure it's that different this time around? Sure, current AI are better, but are they better enough?
True. But there are situations where things get ~corrupted, and it becomes ~impossible to recover without basically nuking everything. But then, I was running containers with resource limits and long-term storage. So I could have thousands of lightweight "VMs" per physical server.
I think I've heard this ("there's poop on it") about everything. Keyboards, doorknobs, kitchen sinks, toothbrushes, etc.

You are right that most casual analyses overstate the real cost of living in SF. A Bart commute in the Daly City direction, or Oakland, or a drive in from Pacifica all get you much more reasonable cost / commute trade offs for jobs in the city. Certainly in absolute prices remain absurd.
