Speaking of building regulations and solar, I stayed in a house that was completely powered by solar and wired with DC for lights and electronics. You can't just add an AC outlet in the kitchen for a coffee grinder, though. If you have even one AC outlet, you have to wire the entire house to code -- useless and unused AC outlets every few feet along the hallways, AC outlet in the bathroom even though the inverter can't handle most of the things (e.g. hair dryers) that would be plugged in in a bathroom.

I wonder if this is in response to Tony Fadell leaving Apple, forming Nest, and then hiring a ton of people for Nest that he then sold to Google...

I think it’s a red herring in areas with expensive housing. If you could save a bit of money with cheaper building codes, the land cost would increase by the same amount, because land is capturing all the surplus.
I think this pertains to the fact of how easy it was for people / organizations to directly contact people inside Facebook to do things at their bidding. FB does hold their staff accountable but the Senator wants more safeguard so that it is very difficult for such an event to be carried out successfully.
It's common for these tech companies to set different ethical standards for paying customers.

... as another example, Indeed does not action/review companies that have been flagged as having inappropriate postings (i. e. MLM scams) as long as they have actively billed job postings.

This is evidenced by the fact that when such a company removes their automated payment and/or pauses all job listings, all the flags then get reviewed and actioned (speaking from personal experience - not MLM, but commission based job listings).
West coast has earthquake risk. Then in inland states there are the tornadoes and the dust bowl. Dry places are drying out worse. What's the best place to invest in North America? Detroit?
So, you can... you just have to break capitalism too.

You're drastically exaggerating of course. Unless you're primarily talking about a few cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco. The US has a wildly successful Housing First program that has pushed its homelessness rate below that of France, Germany, Britain, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand. A rate comparable to that of Finland, Netherlands, Austria.
Thank you for building leaflet. It (and scrapy) are how I wound up finding the house I live in now - a quirky, dirt cheap cottage I'd never have taken note of without the tools to filter and visualize a whole country's listings.
$300 million for a fucking dog walking out sourcer? Who signs off on this kind of shit?
Seems legit. I identify as an OpenBSD user for reasons I suspect are true of many GNU/Linux users: I had to choose OpenBSD for myself, and make a not-exactly-trivial effort to not only get it installed, but learn how to use it effectively and create a comfortable computing environment for myself. Because I've actively chosen to use OpenBSD on my personal equipment, I identify as an OpenBSD user.

I don't identify as a Mac user even though my day job has issued me a Mac for use at work, because there's no personal choice involved other than my choice to work at a company that gives its developers Macs. The OS is just there, and I deal with it in order to do my job and get paid. I don't identify as a Windows user for similar reasons; when I worked at Microsoft shops I used what they gave me and put up with the OS because I had to.
I find climate panic to be really bad because I am optimistic about being able to significantly reduce emissions, and I think that panicked, depressed people convinced the world is going to end it harder to get everyone to adopt the policies needed.

Right now oil is around $59/barrel and each barrel emits .43 tons of carbon. There are credible claims of carbon capture for $100/ton today, and that’s without a clear payoff or scale. So that means that enacting a carbon tax that is at parity with the cost of avoiding emissions ($100/ton) would less than double the raw material cost of oil and still keep the price well below the highs we saw in the 00s. The effect on consumers would be even less on a percentage wise basis, as the tax shouldn’t effect transport, processing, marketing, or other costs much. Not only could we manage pricing in carbon emissions in our economy, we’ve done so in the past.
Trolltech were pretty awesome, in their days. The “poison-pill BSD” setup is pretty smart; if i remember correctly , it was introduced when they started wobbling a bit from the commercial perspective, in order to keep the community calm while they went looking for buyers (which they eventually found in Nokia). It would be sad if the switch had to be triggered at a time when QT is supposed to be “back in the game” after years of uncertainty.

Dear Qt owners, don’t mess around. If you can’t make money from Qt, it’s not because of the license. Build more bridges, and more developers will come to you.
Originalism says that the constitution must be interpreted as it was meant when the relevant clauses were authored. It doesn't say that it must be preserved exactly as is. In the originalist framework, you rewrite the constitution by amending it, according to the procedures outlined therein - rather than by creative reinterpretation by the courts over time.

The only bad thing about them is that they tend not to be accessible for people who have difficulty climbing steps... which is fine as long as there's lots more available housing which is accessible.

I lived in an apartment over a specialty supply company one summer; it was a great bicycle commute to work, walking distance to a supermarket, and nobody was actually in the ground floor at the times I was home, so they certainly didn't care if I played music loudly or thumped furniture across the floor.

If it's any consolation, the xbox is no better. I have automatic updates set which seems to just mean OS updates, as if I try to play a game I haven't played in a few weeks I'm looking at a 30gb update at least which will take like 5 or 6 hours with my ISP throttling.
I think the difference is that in the case of sharing a wall with a neighbor you have a) extra noise leakage that you wouldn’t if you had that extra layer, b) shared infrastructure, which makes things a little harder if you need to make changes/have a plumbing issue/etc. Also the roof is continuous between townhomes, so when it comes time to replace that you have to negotiate with the neighbor.
> I don't think the concern is 'how long does deployment take' but 'how fast can we iterate?

And for iteration, the only thing that matters is the size of the top layers that are being iterated on. Not the overall image size itself.

You can put `RUN apt-get [kitchen sink]` at the beginning of the Dockerfile and it pretty much won't matter. When you change anything in the project repository, that bigass giant base layer doesn't get re-pulled because it doesn't change.

To validate that a layer, Docker daemon just compares the hashes. So, for unmodified layers, docker pull is constant time with image size. The Docker daemon only downloads from the registry starting with the bottom-most modified layer relative to its cache.

If anything, throwing the kitchen sink in the base layer is better for fast iteration. When you're being parsimonious about third-party libraries and packages, you'll frequently have to rebuild the base image. If you `RUN apt-get [everything]`, then you'll hardly ever never need to rebuild/re-push/re-pull that layer, because you'll always have whatever you need already available.

Thanks for sharing! One more curiosity - what PNG compression tool was used and how long did it take to crunch 216GB to 17GB? I'm surprised it didn't crash.
Although I argue the black-and-white "everyone is a potential adversary" thinking is misguided. Your threat model determines requisite security measures, and you usually have to trust someone. (Although Facebook should probably not be that someone)

To be fair, I had a pretty similar problem with Google Pay yesterday.

The handy "google pay" button just sent me on a loop to fix my address, I did, it accepted, then rejected on pay as there was "an issue with my address" - tried 3 times before just nuking my address, re-entering it (I swear the same details) and then it was accepted.
Maybe random co-incidence, or maybe common card back-end was having a wobble.

It’s for the shock value. When the newest iPhones came out, people used the maxed out ~$1500 model as the price for comparison against a bottom line OnePlus.

So just for scale, a single ad campaign could have thousands of individual ads. Times a few dozen campaigns at a company. Times millions of buyers, many of whom buy through an ad agency or network reseller.

I hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel for all of this. It seems like there will always be a cat and mouse effort to be just one step ahead of the other. Like how many websites have those popups now where they ask you to turn off ad-blocking. Intrusive ads and website tracking should both be a problem by default. I guess not all ads can be a problem, but I am unsure if the same could be said about tracking...

When it comes to corruption and being unaccountable...you must defer to the Senator, it is after all their very area of expertise.

If there is one thing politicians know and understand it is the corruption endemic to big money accounts, back-door access and bribes...just look at all the Senators donors and public meetings with "constituents" in the capital building.

Senator's Campaign Finance: https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/summary?cid=...

At least I learned about the SVG alternatives to asciinema that's both getting a better vectorial results, and saving size compared to a gif output. It is so obvious in retrospect! More kudos to the author for thinking about supporting various input formats, including asciinema.
Another common denominator could be also the price point of properties they pay to rent. Some landlords just dont budget/save well regarding repairs. Properties with lower rent prices can make that worse. So when your like hey fix that and this. They may seem begruding about it. Although out of 6 landlords all them doing that seems unlikely. Unless some of these problems where overly petty.

However, I would not consider a rodent problem petty. (probably means somthing is not sealed well) Although getting a cat without talking to the landlord sure is gonna make them more willing to help (sarcasm). Pets can cause serious damage, and can even leave odors after carpet has been replaced. Making the property harder to rent or more costly to repair.

From that same article according to Clarke himself it instead required FBI approval which was asked of and granted by the FBI. We do not know who requested it, reps from both State and FBI deny that they did. The shuttle flight happened in the evening of the 13th when by other accounts some other private and commercial flights began. In any case we are pretty far away from "Clarke was one of the guys who OKed the return of the bin Laden family on 9/11" at this point.

>>>

In the days immediately after 9/11—he doesn’t remember exactly when—Clarke was approached in the Situation Room about quickly repatriating the Saudis.

“Somebody brought to us for approval the decision to let an airplane filled with Saudis, including members of the bin Laden family, leave the country,” Clarke says. “My role was to say that it can’t happen until the F.B.I. approves it. And so the F.B.I. was asked—we had a live connection to the F.B.I.—and we asked the F.B.I. to make sure that they were satisfied that everybody getting on that plane was someone that it was O.K. to leave. And they came back and said yes, it was fine with them. So we said, ‘Fine, let it happen.’” Clarke, who has since left the government and now runs a consulting firm in Virginia, adds that he does not recall who initiated the request, but that it was probably either the F.B.I. or the State Department. Both agencies deny playing any role whatsoever in the episode. “It did not come out of this place,” says one source at the State Department. “The likes of Prince Bandar does not need the State Department to get this done.”

“I can say unequivocally that the F.B.I. had no role in facilitating these flights one way or another,” says Special Agent John Iannarelli, the F.B.I.’s spokesman on counterterrorism activities.
It's possible to block updates from the terminal, but it is intentionally made obtuse because regular end users shouldn't be deferring updates indefinitely.
Completely in agreement with you. Also, I find it difficult to find a "true" or "real" 150 beta signups in such a short time. Typically takes more time and development to get to that level depending on the product.
No, hostels have limits < 30 days.

SROs? (I'm not familiar with the word in english) are generally for people living full time. Many have minimums of > 30 days.

Do you think that if the New York Times sends you a copy of their article, you're obligated to pay for it, even if you didn't agree to pay for it?

I'm happy to pay for content. I donate $10/mo to both Mother Jones and ProPublica. That's more for each than the cost of a New York Times subscription. Neither of these has a paywall. I'd prefer that they didn't have popovers either, but that's about as good as I can expect in the modern anti-privacy, anti-attention culture of the internet. I just don't feel obligated to pay for content that is sent to me without me ever agreeing to pay for it.

I also think search engines shouldn't index paywalled content, and that newsfeeds like HN or Reddit shouldn't allow links to paywalled content, and I consistently downvote paywalled content.

EDIT: I'm also going to start requesting that people not link to paywalled content when I see it, I think.
I upvoted you, but it's not black and white.

The government prevents someone from opening a lead smelting plant next to a school (hopefully). They also force homes to have two exits from every room in case of fire, etc.

But they also discovered manufacturing housing scarcities and _also_ making massive, lifelong loans available for housing are a GREAT way to keep your population working really hard to just barely keep a roof over their head. Want to work part time and pursue art? Want to stay home and watch your child grow up? Too bad, there's 10 more people who'll outbid you for your house, so you have to design your life around income maximization.

These scarcities are created with zoning, parking minimums (maybe the most horrible part), green space (aka yard size) requirements, ridiculously large streets, density restrictions, etc.

The escape is to leave the city and work remote (honestly it's amazing what having no mortgage and no rent does to your sense of agency) but that's an option open to rather few people, and probably not for long as it becomes normalized and wages adjust as a result.
I don't get this part either. Imagine if they'd just thrown that money into AAA international real estate(ie buy skyscrapers outright in 20 major cities) or just run it like a private equity hedge and just bought major stakes in 20 world companies.

It seems hard to imagine that those strategies wouldnt have done alot to diversify and future proof their wealth without gambling on something like wework.

Maybe these transactions would be blocked under some type of foreign influence laws but maybe they could have also snuck under the radar by laundering credibility and origins through the vision fund.

I use Rover pretty often for medium-term dog care for trips and such. It usually costs me $400-$1000 for a week or two so it definitely provides a valuable service and good revenue.
Uhh, have you heard about the housing affordability problem in many states? The zoning regulations have created cookie cutter cul-de-sac neighborhoods that have contributed to unnatural sprawl. It's very difficult to even innovate in housing and commercial design due to these restrictions.

Think of an ad as something like a 1¢ payment from me to the website. Suppose there was no such thing as ads, and the website wanted me to make the 1¢ payment directly. What are our options for doing that? Is there any way to do it without paying fees much larger than 1¢?

If you want ad-supported businesses to go away, invent a convenient way for me to pay Google 1¢. (Convenient as in, I don't need to create an account with a password.) It's extremely difficult, both for technical and legal reasons.
I guess it depends on how much of Qt you need. If you just need the basics you can import mainly what you need[0]. In the case of D though one of it's focuses is to work well with C++ directly. I'm not talking about maintaining it all, I'm talking about embedding it directly into the standard library of a programming language.

I guess you do make a fair point in regards to the LGPL though.
