Put my car in storage two years ago, using a lot of ride share and cabs these days.

Rarely have a yellow cab driver get lost, despite no GPS. I can think of three in three years.

At least 2 of every 5 ride-share pickups, drivers can’t seem to figure out how to get to me.

At last 1 of 5 ride shares I file for refunds on drive costs because drivers blindly followed GPS directions despite bad signal on their phones, circling the destination, sometimes passing within a block of destination several times, yet never arriving.

In each of these cases, the ride share company has the data that shows the driver can’t find the pickup and can’t find the destination, yet doesn’t do anything proactive with that knowledge.
I dont see any problem with subsiziding MTA fares by collecting funds through other taxes. The more people use the system the better.
Based on my limited research on this topic, the root cause of the problem is the labor cost and inefficiency of MTA workers. I think everything else is noise. Here is great quote from NYT article on this subject:

“Nobody knew what those people were doing, if they were doing anything,” said Michael Horodniceanu, who was then the head of construction at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs transit in New York. The workers were laid off, Mr. Horodniceanu said, but no one figured out how long they had been employed. “All we knew is they were each being paid about $1,000 every day.”

It doesn't have to have positive returns to be considered a saving. You buy a house, you get to live there rent free for decades even if you can't sell it for much at the end. That's still worth a lot.
It's not an invention or arbitrary term. The more traditional usage of the word player for much of the 20th century was to mean someone with agency and control over their own life and surroundings. The usage evolved (narrowed) with the popularity of rap in the 90s.
The open source angle is an interesting concept. The raspberry pi seems to be doing quite alright, despite its design being completely open sourced. Can that model be tweaked a little to apply to all sorts of manufactured goods...? I’m mean, a brand name can have value.
I imagine there's a spectrum and certain strengths are at opposite ends of a gradient. I have weak (but existent) visual recall and imagination, and strong spatial awareness, with a strong preference to text over visual learning. Perhaps strong spatial relationship awareness is one end of a gradient and the other end is strong visualisation.

There are a couple of quite interesting studies about the malleability of some of our cognitive abilities, such as spatial reasoning: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17894600 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22663761 for example.
Oh hah, that’s funny. It says in that article they made revisions to the screen.

While I'm not a fan of tiny tiny houses, I personally don't feel comfortable in houses that are too big. I would prefer a tiny house to a large suburban house in which I'd feel lost.

I think it's probably similar for a lot of people; feeling that a smaller house is just right for them.

It's probable that the "tiny" part is a lot more reactionary to big suburban castles, and I'd posit that those into the tiny house fad are likely more interested in houses that are more compact/dense, than an actual tiny house.
To put it in perspective, if you have $10k in your bank account, does $200 seem like that much for a car?

I strongly disagree with you.

But I just want to say it's disappointing that you're being downvoted by people because they disagree with you, rather than because you're not contributing to the conversation.
It's worth pointing out that minimum lot sizes were used to push poor people, particularly POC, out of wealthier neighborhoods by making it uneconomical to build smaller homes on oversized lots.

SF has a minimum of 2,500-4000sf [1], and San Jose has a minimum of 5,400sf! It's the same for much of the bay area, the SFH I live in occupies ~20% of the lot it sits on, which is pure insanity for one of the most expensive metros in the US. It is even more insane when you look at the giant lots of SFHs right next to Bart stations.

But they don't. They want you to think they are holding the people for ransom, but they're not.

Solvent banks need liquidity, the payment system has to stay robust and functional, and existing deposit insurance (which is fully funded) needs to be honored. But don't bail them out.
Not sure I can agree, was fired for being assertive.

EDIT: Sure, downvote because your life experience is different and the only valid one. My mother taught me to be assertive, and as a guy that has backfired spectacularly. If you're assertive as a woman you're plucky and independent. As a guy you're seen as hostile.
i wonder when we will go straight to the next era and make the steering wheel and accelerate/brake pedals touchscreen features rather than a physical control. this will be as revolutionary as apple taking the number pad out of a mobile phone.
>Apple developers rewrite software in a butterfingered way on a consistent basis, creating software that lacks any design, missing large chunks of functionality and often lacks any kind of polish or coherency.

If I could afford either a jet or a Bugatti, there isn't even a question in my mind. Not a moment's hesitation. Jet, jet, jet, jet, and more jet. Heck, even if I could afford both, I think I'd just buy two jets.

You know, for when one's in the shop.
I completely agree with you. My Mac Plus from 1986 still feels snappier than a modern Mac in many ways despite having several orders of magnitude less storage, memory, and clock speed. That's because it was programmed close to the metal by excellent programmers. But you'll never get the Apple of today to build software that doesn't encourage people to upgrade their hardware.

AmigaOS and BeOS were other examples of this phenomenon. The world needs a new OS to show what really can be done on modern hardware.
Noise is such a huge factor. I don't really care about having a yard or access to a garden, and for an apartment in a walkable neighborhood I would even be happy to give up parking. Unfortunately my spouse and I are looking at buying a house, which is much more expensive, less environmentally sound, and more inconvenient in nearly every way because it's essentially impossible to find shared living spaces with anything approaching sensible levels of sound isolation. I have sensory issues specifically around low frequencies, and I've never been able to comfortably live in a shared building without having to wear active noise canceling headphones nearly 100% of the time because other people in my building must listen to bass heavy music or buy large subwoofers for their televisions, and the low frequencies travel too easily through shared walls and floors/ceilings.
I used Enpass for a little while a couple years ago.

It was ok but not great. Eventually I decided to migrate off it and was not impressed by their export functionality. I had to literally go through every entry to make sure it made sense, check against the GUI to make corrections, and even then reimporting into either LastPass or 1Password was another full round of checking item per item.

I hope it got better but if you're on it I'd advise you look into that as soon as possible as your database only tends to grow and with it the difficulty of migrating off when the time comes.

240 sq ft sounds too small. I think the tiny house movement overshot.

I've been living alone (with dog) in a 540 sq ft garage conversion for 7 years and it's just about the perfect size for me. It has a small bedroom (queen bed), larger office, even larger LR, smallish kitchen and a bathroom (no tub). If I bothered to change antying, the kitchen could be slightly larger, the bathroom could use a tub, the laundry could be moved indoors (it's out on the covered deck) and the water heater could be moved indoors too. It's not well designed and space is not utilized well (bare walls could be shelves). But with a better design I think it would be completely satisfactory. I like having less to clean and less to heat, but I wouldn't attempt anything smaller.

I should add that my house has nothing to do with affordable dense city housing, it's on a farm in New Zealand, which has other buildings (garage, storage container, shearing shed).
That is an excellent report, the numbers I would like to see is from ground breaking to ribbon cutting, what are the actual expenditures and to whom. Something like:

Jets have a lot of overhead to operate, you need to keep it near an airfield, it needs pilots, maintenance, fuel, ...

A Bugatti needs a nice garage and an occasional mechanic, long term costs much less to operate or even just own than a jet.
The Raspberry Pi isn't a great example: You can't make a clone of it, because Broadcom will not sell you the SoC for it.

The parent mentioned 3D printing: I think that's the space were right now this plays out the most. Many designs are open or at least have open components, and people build and sell variations, but brands and brand loyalty are very much a thing.

Robert Moses acquired power because people wanted to GTFO of the city, either for the weekend or for good.

I’m a little older than the average HN person. I remember as a kid growing up in Queens, my dad sweeping the ash from the Greenpoint Incinerator off of his car in the mornings when the wind blew the right way.

The city was filthy, polluted and overcrowded. The subways were no exception.
Defined benefit pensions are sucking up a lot of resources, as well as fire code/ADA related costs. I’m sure labor costs much more than in decades before, not just in construction, but in permitting and planning.

As the years go on, projects with large liabilities have to go to extreme lengths to show they did their due diligence. Otherwise, it’s a ripe for a lawsuit that says “well you knew that risk existed and did nothing to prevent it” and pays out a few million taxpayer dollars.
NYC has more skyscrapers above to worry about below.
I once lived in a tiny 150 sq ft 'bachelor' style apartment which was a single room as the entire living space with a small bathroom. It had no kitchen so I had to wash my dishes in the bathroom sink and use a portable electric hot plate for cooking meals. It was a very minimalist lifestyle since I had to think about every item I brought in because it'd take up space. The good thing is that I learned how to be efficient with resources and use less 'stuff', but it was not good for my mental health over the long run since the lack of freedom to move around was making me feel like I was trapped in a confined space. Almost felt like I was living in a prison cell. Sometimes it's not worth going with the cheapest option because it takes a toll on your mental health.
This. Tiny house plots aren't distinctly different than trailer parks, and tiny houses aren't that distinct from a single wide.

There are nice trailer parks with new or maintained and addons porches. But there are also trailer parks where maintenance, but particularly septic and sewage were ignored
Totally agree, but it is sort of like buying mega sizes at CostCo vs regular sizes — the economy of scale is great in theory but only if you can afford it (either cost wise or afford the space)

A good balance would be allowing multi family in many of these zones because what you say is very valid if you can stack up the housing. This is the sad thing about the Bay Area vs say NYC — the problem is a policy problem rather than some natural shortage.

In my mind they’re the same. A player makes plays and rises in the social and economic hierarchies to the point that multiple women are courting him, thus giving rises to the guy “playing games” complaints, “being a player.” Pick-up artistry mocks what players do around women to get women (poor motivator) and get seen as “players,” kinda like crackers get called hackers. I think rappers still meant it in the histiric sense but mass sales means more simps who don’t even know a player to misuse it more with an emphasis on women and pickup artists. In our world, leadership at top companies are the players (and ads are the drug, kinda joking).

> We desperately need to ramp up taxes on land in order to reduce inequality and speculation

Speculation is what pays for housing.
The problem is that there's no way to make a backdoor only for legitimate uses. There is an illusion that it could be done, but practice shows that it gets exploited by bad actors, too.

Another problem is that correct strong encryption would work equally for nicest law-abiding citizens and for vilest criminals. But there are other numerous efficient means to fight against criminals, even if the encryption is available to them. For the law-abiding citizens, there is no reasonable way to stay safe in many areas, such online financial transactions, if the strong encryption is not available.
Hmm, why not NetJets?
It's taken a little out of context. I'm in the same boat as the parent and it's more that I need to upgrade but the offerings just aren't great currently.

Some of my issues are I need a faster CPU, more RAM, larger storage, SSS, better graphics cards, and some nice to haves are a larger screen and better speakers, mic, and camera.

Right now I see nothing but complaints about the keyboards, touch bars, and the fact that everything is now embedded so you can't really upgrade components.
One good thing from this kerfuffle is the tacit confirmation that end-to-end encryption actually works.
It's called an algorithmic complexity attack, and yeah it's a known issue with hashmaps. One solution is to us a parametrized hash function with a secret key. And a second is to use another data structure entirely.
Some folks like to live more sustainably and believe a smaller house comes with a smaller ecological footprint (I do not have sufficient data to argue whether it does or does not.)
And, therefore, a rule: don't buy a supercar if you can afford only one.
In NYC and especially Brooklyn, you can have it both for a premium above regular apartments but still far less expensive than standalone single family housing — residential conversions of old industrial buildings. The floors are industrial thick but you still get most of the economies of scale from building up rather than out.
To add to this, I stayed in a family apartment in Wuhan for a month last year. The place had three bedrooms, a washing machine & a full kitchen in about 100 m^2. Wuhan metro is about the size of Los Angeles (20M) and the cost was maybe an eighth of LA’s price for that kind of thing. Some of that can be explained by labor cost and legitimate environmental regulations, but Americans don’t make 8x what Chinese make.

I don’t think you should be down voted, but seriously? Try hailing a cab in rush hour or bad weather. Or a neighborhood outside of Manhattan with few cabs. Before Uber that’s what we did, and it sucked.
> This sounds a bit like the general situation in Australia.

As a Canadian living in Australia since 2011, I have to disagree. Politically Canada is much more of a protectionist nanny state than Australia.

For mobile service in particular (i.e., the topic of this dicussion), Australia is much more competitive than Canada despite also being a very large, sparsely populated country. I pay $25/month for unlimited calls and 18 GB of 4G data (https://www.aldimobile.com.au/plans/value-packs/). Unlike Canada, Australia allows strong, foreign competitors to provide mobile service (e.g., Vodafone and Optus).

Other ways in which Australia is less protectionist than Canada:
- parallel private healthcare system
- parallel private education system (although not at university level)
- buy alcohol anywhere, not just at government owned stores
- no dairy and poultry "supply management"
- foreign owned supermarkets (e.g., Aldi)

Australia is far from perfect (e.g., the natural gas cartel is far too powerful) but on the whole there's far less government interference that protects cozy domestic oligopolies compared Canada.
I wish I could upvote this twice. At some stage the tradeoffs in a tiny house start becoming overwhelmingly uneconomical. Naturally the barriers in most markets are legal or artificial financial constraints (in Australia, it is hard to get a loan on anything too small) rather than based on physics.
Kiwi here, so not biased at all. I'd put it down to better diet and better climate (so more outdoors physical activity), rather than genetic diversity.
The article doesn't say it's now a grade 2 screen. The article does quote Mentor Graphics saying, "defining the boundary conditions for Innolux’s system is the responsibility of their customer, not Innolux."

So Innolux will quite happily sell Tesla a screen, but it's up to Tesla to use it appropriately. I think your understanding is wrong.
I think we need plugs where people park their cars at work rather than at homes. As that is the peak for solar power and also the point where power prices go negative in some countries because of excess production. Night time charging unless your grid is mostly nuclear or wind is probably the worst in terms of pollution.
How have labor costs gone up so much? Average subway workers haven’t recently started making a ton of money as far as I know, so is the money going to administration?

Girls of course would never do such a thing. Unheard of.
Interesting. In SF, most of the time I just walk outside when my car has arrived and jump in. Then I get to my destination and jump out. The next time I take a ride I may do things like hit the 5 star button and the No Tip button but that's it. Most of the time my start and destination are already available from a quicklist because whatever time-and-location-search Lyft has is damned good.

I don't want to key in numbers and shit. Not even a QR code?

For this standard experience, I'm willing to sacrifice the tails: driver getting lost on way, driver being a dick. The rarity makes that worth it. Happens to me maybe once in 20 rides. Looks like you have a different calculus.
Let me remind everyone to never let the "going dark" rhetoric go unchallenged. People are under vastly more surveillance (with data flowing one way, towards governments and corporations, not reciprocal like neighbors) than ever in history. But somehow the tiny scrap of privacy that encryption allows us to keep is framed as "going dark".
Hmm, if I could afford a $3m car, jet fuel and maintenance would probably not even be on my list of relevant points.

Bizjet? No ta. I could have a lot of fun with a Folland Gnat, Hawker Hunter or L39 Albatross though. My environmental efforts would take a bit of a hit. :)
Can't agree with this enough. Tax the value of the land. Housing shouldn't be a commodity -- it should be accessible to everyone and priced based on how well it serves its primary goal of keeping the population housed.

IMO, it shouldn't be profitable to be a landlord, at least not to the extent it is today, unless you are providing services well above and beyond.

> I have a suspicion that as electric cars become more common, free chargers will become less so. (Free charging) will not be sustainable as demand increases.

For "superchargers" and other fast charging, I agree.

But slower L2 entry-level chargers are so cheap, and electricity so cheap, I don't see free charging going away entirely. Already in Michigan, it's cheaper to just give away free L2 charging to anyone who wants it, than it costs to keep the lot clear of snow in the winter.

I suspect slow charging will become similar to Salt / Sugar packets in restaurants. Free basically anywhere that abuse or insane land costs aren't a problem (so free basically everywhere except major cities)
> First of all, we hurt members of our LGBTQ+ community when they felt they couldn’t participate authentically and we didn’t respond quickly or strongly enough in supporting them. Worse, through our handling of this situation, we made them a target for harassment as people debated their right to express themselves and be addressed according to how they identify.

So wait - what are they apologizing for?

If I understand this situation correctly there are basically two sides:

- The people who put in place the new code of conduct, who think that they "hurt members of our LGBTQ+ community when they felt they couldn't participate authentically..." by not putting this code of conduct in place fast enough.

- The moderator who fired/the people who resigned who think they "hurt members of our LGBTQ+ community when they couldn't participate authentically..." when they put in place the new poorly thought out policy

Is this intended to double (triple? quadruple?) down on the original position? Or apologize for it and move to the second?
To put some perspective on this number, in my mid-sized city a temperature controlled 15x20 storage unit goes for $175/mo. Obviously a living space has different needs, but that's the kind of bar we should be thinking about when we consider affordable housing.
