Not surprising. San Francisco seems to vote more owner friendly vs Oakland which votes more renter friendly. For SF I thought the recent proposition E was encouraging. It reduced zoning requirements on public zoned land for affordable housing. It was first proposition I’ve seen that reduces zoning requirements, it seems like a “toe in the water” for reducing complexity for addressing housing. Of course one might argue fuck toes in water we are in crisis, but given my first statement, I saw it as a trial balloon. Hopefully we see more aggressive measures in next few elections

I had a Mac Performa from the OS 7 days, and Inside Macintosh from the same time - but with the C API from what I remember, and used Metrowerks CodeWarrior as the development IDE. It was a great introduction to GUI programming, and CodeWarrior was a great IDE too.

I noticed this from the first pascal code example:

Setting up my Apple TV took 5 minutes. Plug in the power, set up the wifi, and add a few apps. Much easier than buying a HTPC + NAS + finding the best software to install.

Using is as easy as a smart-phone. Click the search app, find content, hit play. Everything auto-updates, so there's no maintenance. VS a HTPC + NAS which take (slightly) more care+feeing to keep current on software versions.
Nope, and in case of crime, most local police forces can simply walk into local stores and request recordings from the last X days, so quite why they'd need illicit backdoors, I don't know.

I'm also entirely fine with this.

Backdoors in cheap CCTV being accessed illicitly at a mass-level is an entirely different problem, and one which I'd agree would need questioning.

I doubt there's much value in that concern for another decade, until the majority of CCTV cameras are ultra high resolution/30+fps, which they're not.
You can do it a couple of ways. You can whitelist sites, where all sites not on the list are automatically blocked, or you can blacklist them, where sites matching certain characteristics or on a particular list are blocked. Neither way necessitates logs or monitoring.
Thanks for the info & for your work!
A few major factors for this with the very wealthy.

1) If you have $1B an attorney will tell you that you can win the case. You are surrounded by yes men and women in many cases.

2) The court systems are not well setup for these cases. They let them spiral way over page length / deadlines etc. Compare to someone facing 5 years of prison - often adjudicated in relatively short order

3) For all sorts of gimmick reasons people create odd structures.

4) The people involved are used to getting their way rules be damned.

If we cared about fights of the rich if you just were allowed to take previous assertions at face value and kept the process tight things would move more quickly.

ie, if in previous cases / situations you claimed to have no control / no interest in an entity (liability claims / previous divorce claims / tax claims and structuring), then for purposes of current litigation that is what counts. All the blind / hidden beneficial owner / undated resignation letters / overseas tax and other gimmicks would be diminished here.

Put the page limits back in on filings to focus the armies of atty's. Nothing an attorney likes more than a vindictive budget be damned client who can afford the hourly rate.
I love Bernie and I voted for him in the 2016 primary... that said, I won't be voting for him in 2020. He's not indicative of some great revolution, of some kumbaya moment...Sanders is going to get less than 20% of the vote in the primary and, as a socialist, he is hated and a non-starter for 30% of the populace who rabidly support Trump.

Bernie, Biden, Trump: We do not need elderly presidents. 80 year olds are scientifically proven to be cognitively declined relative to younger individuals. They are much more likely to die in office, more likely to have memory issues, slower to comprehend new things, and are just much more out of touch with the average citizen.

So, while I laud Bernie's character, I don't think a 77 year old man being preferred by less than 20% of one half of the electorate is cause for optimism.
Random mutations are always going to exist. For the third time, future evolution is going to be directly caused -by us-, on shorter timescales. Because the alternative is letting humans die simply for the sake of evolution.
Tokyo also has mixed-rate zoning and the culture is not built around using a developed proprty to build equity but rather continual reproduction of a living space.
>It's a bit counter intuitive, but the best way to lower the cost of housing for the poor is to build more housing for the upper middle class and up. They will trade up houses which will increase the supply of used houses driving down their price

The problem is that housing in any location is not a closed system with fixed demand. It is an open system in which increased supply can generate increased demand.

When you build that housing for upper middle class and up, they vacate their homes, the price of their old homes goes down, then upper middle class and up people who previously decided to live in a cheaper area over paying the extreme rent costs move in, the population grows, and the price break never fully flows down market to the poor people in the city. This is why the market approach to building more housing isn't going to solve the whole problem. You need to build new homes at every pricing level and the market generally doesn't do that without the government incentivizing them.

> Cars are terrible for cities, doesn't bother me in the least that protecting tourist's cameras isn't an enforcement priority.

What a flippant and short sighted thing to say. I've known people whose car was broken into and had their medical devices, medication, and clothes stolen. That's more of a problem than a tourist's camera.

Regardless of your opinion on car transportation in cities the idea that victims of a crime should take the blame because they left something valuable in their car and locked it is the same as saying a rape victim is at fault for the crime because of what they were wearing. It is pretty sickening.
Interesting idea, and I wish them the best of luck. However this line:

> _Further, as cloud-borne SaaS companies mature from being strictly growth focused to being more margin focused, it seems likely that more will consider buying machines instead of always renting them_

Is not something I think to be true from my experience of being in a large company that has moved away from on-prem hosting to cloud providers. Cloud is cheaper. A lot cheaper, especially if using managed services (with the proper arch! With the exception of logging which is surprisingly expensive). The hardware costs of rolling your own hosting is not the expensive part.

I absolutely do, and I have always known. In particular, it’s been humbling to see the reaction on HN and I appreciate the amount of trust and love the community has had for us. I understand we are held to a different standard than other VPNs who hide their locations and ownership and are constantly caught logging - and I appreciate it.

Django (and DRF if you use it), uses too much reflection, which doesn't play nice with type annotations. The strategy that works for me is to annotate my application code, and keep using dynamic typing when interacting with the framework.

Do you think China wasn't aware of how well the US had it? They had no intention of letting it stay that way. The US did not force them into it, they wanted to do this all along. Recent political action may have sped things up, but this has all been in the works for a long time.
Collabora and Linux Kernel 5.4
I'm involved with a fairly substantial business (banking and etc related) that was built from the ground up among a core group of partners, and then later acquired other small banks and banking related businesses that similarly involved tight knit families and community ties.

The presented a real problem, that the folks in charge addressed pretty quickly.

The problem was that everyone felt emotionally tied to these businesses that they had built up, their families and communities in many ways identified with them. Many of them operated in small or suburban sized communities so they weren't just some random business to the families involved.

But as it grew it was clear it wasn't "dad's bank" or such anymore as far as % of ownership went and so on. The individual "dads" or other owners made those deals and understood it, but the question was would their families understand and could that create conflict?

Obviously after acquisition / offering additional opportunities to buy stock (this was a privately held company) things changed and maybe not everyone was on the same page and they wanted to avoid any conflict if someone showed up thinking they were in charge who wasn't... but still had a big enough piece of the pie to cause more than a futile legal fight.

The solution was that the bank (actually the holding company that held the bank and other entities) would be employee owned (i'll not get into how that works just for the sake of brevity) and effectively the old guard would only be allowed to own X% of the shares. Any shares transferred to children had to meet certain criteria (only so much could be transferred) and events like inheritance often would require the shares to be sold back to the holding company at a given price (they had a system of internal and external evaluations to determine the pricing).

To date it has worked out pretty well. Perhaps the answer to some of these issues is to simply not to pass the business on whole hog, at least not in a manner where control is an issue.
$300 a year is nothing compared to colocating your own server, or even getting a business-grade network connection.

If you can get away with hosting on your own computer on a residential connection, that's great for you, but it's a totally different product from what AWS/GCP/colocation offer.

By the way, reserved instance pricing on AWS and GCP starts around $20/year. But if you know how to use S3/GS and Dynamo/Datastore, you don't even have to use an instance.
I get neighborhood news from one of the various social neighborhood apps. These apps aren’t political or partisan in so far as I can tell. In my neighborhood there are lots of progressives but after a few years even some of the died in wool progs see that there are problems.

And to your point. Yes different crimes but the point is there has been a surge in both as well as a new crime in the form of package theft.

Real galaxy brain take there. “Housing prices have always fluctuated, therefore these fluctuations are unrelated to this other highly correlated factor”.

Not that I disagree much with the substance of pointing out Prop 13, etc, but you should also definitely blame tech for loading an entire industry into a metro area.
Tyler Cowen has a book with basically that premise - that in the long run, economic growth is the only thing that matters. It's called Stubborn Attachments.

It's not an intuitive position for most people, but it's a pretty convincing argument - it's certainly been the most important thing in the last 100 years, in my mind (think the incredible increase in health, standards of living, etc, which, even if they aren't spread close to equally, have benefited literally almost everyone).
Calling these founders bloggers is perhaps true in the strictest sense of the word, as in they surely have blogs but that's not why some people perk up at this news.

The flip side of the coin is that kids learn from a very early age what it takes to slip past the surveillance net. The smart ones watch everyone around them get caught for infractions. Taking note. Quietly gathering data. Towing the line, purposely being caught for the occasional minor infraction so as not to appear too good to be true. Until one day, they disappear from prison in the middle of a storm and take the entire foreman's investment portfolio with them.

Ask HN: Does anyone know where to get a chorded keyboard?
More specifically, something akin to this:
http://www.chordite.com

I know about the twiddler, but it's rather expensive for something I'd mostly just play around with, and it doesn't really look too ergonomic with all those buttons, almost seeming to miss the point of a chorded keyboard...

I don't have any RSI-related problems (yet), but I'd like to have an option in regards to typing with one hand and not being constrained to a desk for longer texts.

Has anyone built a chorded keyboard? If so, how has that panned out for you?
> When nothing you do matters, everything you choose to do anyway is art. So try not to make ugly art.

Is that a quote from someone else? I love it and want to properly attribute it when sharing.
I'm with you. Granted, I do consider it an investment in the sense that every month I pay off part of the principal and thus I can get some money back when I sell it whereas I'd get nothing if I was renting but I don't expect greater than inflation appreciation on the house.

However, this could just be because I grew up in Chicago where there is endless farmland that can be developed and thus expecting greater than inflation appreciation on your house is foolish as someone else can just develop some farmland and sell it for the cost of building the house thus forever increasing the supply at the marginal cost of building a house.

Wind mills have to be designed to deliver inertia, older mills generally aren't as this wasn't an issue when they were built. If you have a grid that relies primarily on solar, you might want to build dedicated flywheels to keep it stable.

AIUI, one concern with nuclear reactors is what to do with the waste.

A 'breeder reactor' is a type of nuclear reactor that makes more efficient use of uranium than 'light water reactors' and with less left-over radioactive waste.

Sounds great, so why do we build anything else? Well, once you've got a breeder reactor it's a very short step to making weapons-grade plutonium. Whereas with light water reactors, this isn't the case.

So the choice of breeder vs light water reactor has pretty big impact on weapon proliferation.

From Jessie's blog post [0] it looks like this is the actual garage where she supposedly started the company.

But I agree, there is absolute zero information on the product they are planning to build.

Probably because they are still working on fundraising.

The countries you listed are all dominated by public health care systems. The NHS in the UK is entirely public (insurance and providers). The other countries have public insurance that covers everyone, and a mix of public and private hospitals. It's a bit complicated in Germany and Switzerland, where there are multiple semi-public insurers, but those insurers are so heavily regulated they're basically public entities (price, coverage and payments to providers are all fixed by government).
The discussions about the title are interesting to me. I have followed both Jessie and Bryan for years, and seeing their names together and "computer company" got me exceptionally excited!

Anyone who has followed presidential candidate Andrew Yang knows this. This is why he wants the "American Scorecard" which consists with indicators including life expectancy, suicide rate, drug overdose rate...rather than things like GDP, unemployment.

The country is not healthy. Until we put these numbers in the forefront, we will keep trying to just increase GDP at the cost of people's lives.
Anti-gun folks are always so fascinated with "local-news" shootings because it's the only argument that is facially viable.

However, we have a second amendment because "a well regulated militia [is] necessary to the security of a free state." It's the only part of the constitution that expressly explains why it exists, and yet people pretend the issue is something else.

No, the issue is the very survival of our nation. It's how we won our independence and according to the people who did that, it's how we'll maintain it.

So, sure, for the sake of argument, guns are a raw deal at the state and local level, but are you saying they were wrong to expel the British? Or is it more of a "Oh, you needed them them, but you're really never going to need them ever again, I promise." Forgive me if I believe the founding fathers, they've only gotten us this far.
But that's because there is much more capital available in the US so it is easier to find investment.

they could push to educate users better on how to be safe or at least tailor part of the process (getting to know each other workflow) so it becomes safer.

meeting strangers and attesting for identity is a problem that isn't unique to Tinder/Grindr. It's relevant to any service that spills over into meat-space.

Background checks and ID checks unfortunately won't work for many people not in the US. Worse they will give people a wrong sense of security. IMO training and steering users to the right behavior would be more effective.

Some of these tips[1] could be used to implement a workflow (user stories) around it to make it safer:

You missed the point. It takes resources to run a checkpoint for 6 hours. If you take the same number of cops and had them investigate property crime, it would make a huge difference.

It doesn't take much time to investigate property crime. They don't even both to take the video footage from the cars. Just ask on any Tesla forum where all the cars have a motion activated security cameras. They could spend 5 minutes to take the screen cap of the person and send it out to all the officer and community.
