Never heard it used to mean "not perturbed"; I think it's just a misconstrual. The origin of the word is the French "non plus" meaning "no more": one can't think of anything else to say; one is speechless.
Building new buildings still displaces people, and in many cases the new buildings do not replace the existing affordable units with an equivalent number of affordable units. Even if they do keep parity, the people need to be moved out (and moved around) for years, and finding section 8 housing can be a challenge. Moving can be costly and exhausting.

Even if you do move back into the same neighborhood after construction is complete and your rent isn't impacted too much (which is not a super common outcome), it's likely the community around you has changed. Gentrification increases the costs of basic food, clothing, and other resources in your area. You're local diner might be replaced with a wagyu beef slinging $15 hamburger joint. It's doing brisk business, but you can't afford to eat there. Your old dinged and dented grocery store or market stall is now a fancy Whole Foods.

That's not to say it's impossible to build or improve neighborhoods, but it's also not so easy as 'just build more on top of existing units.' The disruption and displacement of hundreds or thousands of lives for years is significant.

There's a healthy debate around how best to deal with this -- do we just bite the bullet and build a TON of housing all at once? Do we try to preserve the residency of the people currently living there and build up opportunistically? Do we try to decommodify housing altogether to remove the incentives that lead to this situation? (If we priced housing based on how well it provided housing, rather than based on what the market would bear, we'd see a different sort of situation, I'd imagine.) I dunno, maybe the combination is all three.

> The amount is in and of itself irrelevant. What really matters is the ratio of that amount to the benefit the UK gets from free trade with the EU.

I only recently learned about the mistake-theory/conflict-theory dichotomy. I think the benefits don’t matter to a conflict theorists, only if insert-tribal-leader-here likes it. (There are at least four relevant tribes that support Brexit, at least five that don’t, and in one case they share a leader who has been carefully trying to keep both sides on his team).

I am almost entirely a mistake theorist on that axis.

I don't know of any places in America where you can protest wearing a mask. Even if you are "legally" allowed to, I don't believe the police would allow it.

Protesters in America need permission from the government. If we were to block roads like they are doing in Hong Kong it would spell certain disaster. More than a few places offer legal protection to people who run over protesters with their vehicle.
> What you're talking about is infrastructure.

No I am not. A common story of wildly successful businesses is they stumbled upon a market and the makers themselves never thought it was something that has any chance of being big. Then they are surprised when people are begging them to take their money for their half-baked product.

From all the billions that went into the space. A truly demand driven business has still not appeared. That is a pretty damning result.

Crypto space is being kept alive purely from leftover money invested during the mass hysteria of those 6 months or so and sunk cost fallacy.
When my dad grew up (in Washington) he was able to pay his college tuition in full and save for a downpayment on his home by working in the kitchen at the university. Nowadays, if you went to University full time and then purchased a house out of college with your only income being a minor kitchen job at whatever school you attended you'd likely have $100k+ of debt

I've moved to purely virtual desktops. It allows me to have a 100% deterministic desktop, to rebuild without losing the underlying OS, and the ability to move my workspace to another machine without the pain.

I've got the builders backed up to github [1] [2], and with this setup it takes about 20 minutes to build a complete work environment, ready to go. Then I connect to it via chrome remote desktop or x2go. I've even run desktops on a $3 a month VPS.

I'll never turn back. This just makes everything so much easier, and I never worry about a machine dying with all my stuff on it.

Node and Chrome are both built on V8, so the synergy between the two is significant. I agree though, it would be interesting to see a Servo-based app framework, but I suppose Electron already has first-mover advantage at this point.

Ask HN: What to do when the company behind a database goes out of business?
In my company, we are looking for a distributed relational database. There are a few options, but I was wondering about how safe is to use something which is mostly developed by a company which relies upon revenue from support packages and other sources? I don't have much experience regarding different databases, but a few names came up like Cockroach DB, YugaByte, Volt DB etc. As far as I am aware, these don't many contributions from the open-source community like Postgres or MySQL. is there any open-source alternative for distributed RDBMS which has good community support? What to do when a company like Cockroach Lab shuts down but you have a product depending on their product, as we can't keep using a DB which is dead? I don't suppose, the data can be moved to some other DB. RethinkDB went out of business and there is almost no commit to the project in Github last year. Does anyone know what did those people do who were using it in a big application? Right now, people in my company have decided to go with Google cloud spanner, which is obviously backed by Google, but expensive.

PS: I am not a DBA or someone who has much knowledge about Databases, just a web developer wondering about things. My apologies if I asked too many questions.

The counterpoint to this is that making a robust cross-platform GUI library is a massive endeavor and there is a veritable mountain of cross-platform gui projects out there and overwhelmingly they end up as never-finished abandoned projects. The exceptions like Qt and electron that actually succeeded tend to have large organizations behind them.

This just means the government can't intercept them without Facebook cooperation... no?

That is their stated reason. If given access they will also read your messages to determine if you are a drug dealer, or a drug user, or have committed financial crimes, or if you're organizing disfavored political activity, or...
This is a useful way to discuss the cost of healthcare. Premiums are a silent tax we pay out of our paychecks.

I actually think the most capitalist solution is to remove this burden from businesses entirely and create some public alternative to live alongside the private system. There should not be some magic number of employees where your startup suddenly has to put together a benefits package for everyone. That's not good for growth or competition.

Microsoft’s new wireless earbuds work with Office
I think you're describing the problem of earmarking funds at all. In general it's just a stupid posturing maneuver. Spending is fungible; it just replaces the amount contributed from the legal body's general fund. As needs change, general fund money can be spent as needed. Earmarked funds are stuck.

A carbon tax on consumers (incl. businesses) is effective at producing good market behavior regardless of how the tax revenue is spent.
This is what I find so fascinating. Yes, it cannot be intercepted in transit. But nothing is stopping the keyboard on which I type or the text box in which I type from collecting all the things and sending those things where ever they want. In-transit interception, in this context, seems like a fruitless threat model when compared to the keyboard/text box vector.

I should’ve mentioned that the tweet in question demonstrated a belief that the money is of substantial importance to the EU, which in turn is part of a broader meme that the EU is reliant on the UK and would be bankrupted by its departure.

Robinhood is making more than most on their orderflow

Robinhood's apples weigh more than Schwab's oranges, because Robinhood encourages users to do options trading (and be more active on it) and Schwab does not. Spreads are wider in options, because they're less liquid, because they're (mechanically) larger trades [+], and because the degree of volatility in options prices is higher than therefore market makers have to charge higher spreads to justify the risk. High spreads mean happy market makers, so the amount you can charge a market maker for "Here's a retail order; would you like to collect the spread on it?" is higher.

[+] Options contracts represent, typically, 100 shares. The notional exposure of 1 options contract on e.g. Google at a strike price of their current price is high. If you measure the other way, by transacted trade size, the spread on a $500 order of Google should be denominated in pennies and the spread of a $500 order of Google options will could be hundreds of dollars for a sufficiently illiquid strike/date combination. (e.g. Consider a put on Google at a strike price of $100 in late October. Google currently costs ~$1,200 a share. If you believe it is likely that Google declines by over 90% in October, and want to express that belief in an instrument, the financial industry can assist you in doing that, but the spread on that particular product will probably be wide. Without checking the quotes at all, I'd predict no buyers at any price and ample sellers at 5 cents a share. If you put in a $500 order expressing that view, you are paying ~$0.01 for the instrument and $499.99 for liquidity.)
Since WhatsApp is proprietary on both client and server side, it can't be proven that OpenWhisper wasn't tampered with. And chances are always against users when we speak of proprietary.

Precisely? No definitely not precisely. The question at hand here is whether or not absence of pronouns constitutes misgendering, and the real crux of the issue is a lack of communication between staff and the moderator in question. I fail to see how that is meaningfully related to legislation which sought to classify intentional misgendering as a form of harassment in the work place.
>> That’s a rather narrow list of device categories.

> I am not sure what you're trying to say.

Try listing out what fits that description. (Consoles, tablets, pc’s, and...). Then add a checkbox near the so called open platforms. My point is it’s a short list including PC’s, tablets/cellphones, consoles, and not much else. Smart TV’s are another possibility, though these tend to be even less open.

Anyway, it’s not that it costs money, it’s that it costs more money to make the port. Consoles take a significant cut of every sale and it’s often not worth it to port to windows due to the bugs associated with arbitrary code running on a users machine.

TLDR: Windows open nature results in more bugs and thus a worse user experience. It’s an inherent issue with open platforms relating to increased surface area for bugs to occur.

> The reason it does not bear the same penalty is pragmatic: if the punishment were the same then why should a rapist not kill the victim as well?

The real reason is even more prosaic in the U.S.: the Supreme Court in Coker v. Georgia decided that it was unconstitutional, despite having been constitutional and practiced by some number of states for nearly 200 years.

It doesn't get any more philosophical than that: six men didn't like it, so the nation doesn't have it any more.

But, to the grandparent's point, rape has been a capital crime in the past, and there's no reason it couldn't be again.

I disagree with SO's rationale as stated, but losing mod privileges on a wiki is not even close to a fundamental violation of freedom of speech tantamount to tyranny and oppression over which wars have historically been fought.

A recent headline: "Floppy Johnson Can't Get an Election"
Of course this lack of nuance is utilised by brexiteer politicians a lot when it suits them. By talking about the "will of the people" they are reducing millions of people to a single constituency who want one thing. When actually leave voters want and care about lots of different things. And the best way to represent those opinions is through the normal democratic system giving equal weight to remainers. Except that isn't allowed to happen because politicians want to use the vote to push their opinion.

But yes the lack of nuance is appalling.
The article seems to be saying that the OS won't be as big of a focus because they want to move everything to the cloud? The headline seems a bit click-baity but the article isn't much better.

For idealized shorter range distances (300~350 miles) I've seen claims of 2x or 2.5x, sometimes up to 5x, but that's using full LCA, not just fuel per passenger mile. The embedded energy in ROW and track are significant, and it doesn't scale well (capacity wise) compared to air travel.
They won't. People are not really giving a crap for their (and their peers') safety. Just look at how popular Discord is alongside FB.

My kids haven't come home, but they keep sending all their stuff to my house every time they move.

At their age, I just didn't have the stuff they have. I couldn't afford things like furniture, a TV, crates of dishes, or boxes of clothing. I had student debt to pay off, enough clothes to last between laundries without going too rank, and a set of pots and pans that were good enough to eat out of. When I moved, I'd share a borrowed station wagon with a friend to move all out stuff in one trip.

I only just earned my empty nest. If one of my kids comes back for a "long term visit", they'll get tired of being questioned on when they're moving back to their own place.
As a symptom of its economic woes, Argentina has had power outages and other utility failures. I wonder if Amazon is really confident in the national grid. Maybe it can invest in the nation's infrastructure, or has a fleshed out contingency plan.

>People may hate you and retaliate against you in America for what you say, but they cannot and will never arrest you.

Edward Snowden is in exile because of the things he had to say about America. The publishers of his book are being sued to ensure he is financially crippled and unable to support himself.

Sure, the charge is something other than speaking but the effect is the same. I'm sure in China people who are arrested for speaking out are not charged with the crime of "free speech" either but are instead charged with some other crime. The effect is similar.

I'm still happy to live in the USA over China but I still think that we can do better on this front.
