Because he’s not blocking access to the beach, technically. Just blocking that pathway. But it’s surrounded by cliffs, so the only way to access it is through the path he’s blocking.
Agreed! But the trouble for me with Excel is that it has an incredibly low ceiling. There are so many people out there doing what is essentially app development but with terrible tools. Tools that give them the wrong habits and mental models for working at scale.

I would love to see the spreadsheet reinvented to be a) collaboration-oriented, and b) a good on-ramp to ever-growing programming skills. So that when Bob in the next department over makes that crucial internal spreadsheet, you can safely and usefully interact with it from your crucial internal spreadsheet. Basically, to make every spreadsheet a potential microservice.

I've spent some years failing to figure out how to make that work. So if anybody manages, please let me know.
There are many corporate things that "stop people from doing that".

Seed monopolies [0]. Costco is undercutting chicken production just to maintain a $4.99 offering to their customers [1]. Mega farms have put over 2700 family farms out of business in Wisconsin [2]. CAFOs create pollution equivalent to 168 million people in the state of Iowa with only a total population of 3.2 million people [3]. All of this manure gets dumped back into the soil for monoculture corn farming which is grown to feed livestock which is also significantly inefficient and drains local resources on clean and fresh water supplies and significantly pollutes downstream via runoff into large rivers [4]. The main polluters are, again, these large scale farms concentrating operations for efficiencies to fulfill the ever expanding lineup of highly processed foods the majority of western culture now eats on a daily basis.

Money stops local farming. These mega farms are not in the business to make a great product, they're in the business to make a great profit - at the expense of their customers, no different than the tobacco manufacturers agenda. Between lobbyism, patents, mergers and grants by states desperate for revenue the concentration of control in farming has become very bleak in a short decade.

Is the content is German or English? I assume the former, but want to check before I (non-German speaker) install.
there is a ton of literature on effective investing strategies (equities vs bonds, et cetera). I myself an not qualified to advise you of a particular place to park your money.
Khosla seems to say the issue is maintaining the access path.. parking, bathrooms, etc. Is that correct? If so, would it make sense for California to seize that part the access path via eminent domain and provide those services?
No this is a very specific law requiring easements exactly as you said. It is not getting resolved quickly because every time Vinod loses (and that's been every time so far) he just baselessly appeals the ruling again and again.
> The second biggest flaw is that it couples package management to a programming language, despite those being almost completely unrelated concerns.

Yes it's frustrating. I wish it was more decoupled, maybe with package standards like Haskell tried to do with Cabal.

It makes it hard to use Rust as a drop-in replacement for C. I can add a few C files to a Haskell project without much problem, but most rust code goes via cargo.
I look at these headlines a few ways:

1. People have been saying next year is going to be total doom and gloom just about every year since around 2011 or so.

2. They’ve all basically been wrong up until now and if you got scared and sold out when the headlines started you would have lost a ton of $$$

3. Eventually the market will go down and someone will claim to be right, probably through sheer dumb luck

4. When the next cycle starts the media will be all over the person from #3 saying they are now again predicting something will happen, but they’ll likely be wrong this time

When you’ve lived though a few of the above cycles you learn to do your best to stay calm and take a balanced approach to life and money. Things go up and down in the short term but in the long term things have reliably gone up.
No he doesn’t have to provide parking. But he does have to allow access.
> The kernel, Zircon, is written entirely in C

No, it's written in C++[1]. They're very different languages.

That said, Google seems to think C++ has something to offer to all kinds of development. It seems to work for them, but they are a heavily C++ shop. I wouldn't read too much out of their use of C++ anywhere; it'd be more surprising and interesting to see them use anything else.

I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt about their own state of mind when they declare it. Sure, he could absolutely be lying, but I don't see any reason not to take his word for it. The issue is just whether his interpretation of the law is correct. (My reading of it is that the law does not require him to maintain a parking lot and other facilities, it just requires him not to block access to the beach.)
Honestly, things and views change over time and especially when you approach your late 30's. I never thought about having kids before,but things just fell into place just right and am much happier now with my life. But once again, I would have never thought about this, say, 5 years ago. Be open minded and don't be afraid (but do find someone who you absolutely trust though).
Anything I found suggested slightly higher values, but maybe official stats can only be found by googling in French?

Either way, I think all the GPs were talking about gross values. So if 1800 net is, say, 2800 gross, that is 35k/yr. In that case 40k is fairly close to the median and probably not in the top 25%.
Right. I don't know why pointing this out without whining or complaining about it seems to make people upset. I'm not tall or white, so it's not like I'm bragging. I'm also not trying to use it as an excuse, or to bring others down for having to try less. It just is what it is.
This isn't an edge case, but rather the standard experience of living somewhere that gets snow and has sidewalks.

But really Khosla isn't being told that he has to maintain improvements to the right of way, but rather to simply stop obstructing it.

I agree! But it shouldn't fail at compile time with a vexing error message. It should fail to resolve dependencies when calculating a build plan.

There's already a better service that timestamps files in Bitcoin. It also uses blockchain space efficiently using servers that aggregate data that must be timestamped into a single Bitcoin transaction. You just need to publish a Merkle root and hold onto your Merkle proof.

"1647 Colonial Ordinance enacted by the Massachusetts Bay Colony ceded title to all intertidal land in what would become the state of Massachusetts to upland owners to encourage “wharfing out” (marine commerce)."
I guess it also relies on whether you can get any deal for electricity or not. Here in UK I pay £0.15/kWh, but during the night it goes down to £0.07/kWh. So as long as I can limit charging the car to nighttime, it's actually very very cheap.
Some surfers did that and then were arrested and put in jail by Khosla.

Those people willing to pay legal defense are called the Surfrider Foundation and they're the people that keep suing Khosla to open up the beach.

It's been quite an ordeal.
My challenge with Discord is that when you enter any established community, it's information overload. Established servers have a dozen or more channels, a slew of bot commands, sometimes mandatory rule review or approval requirements, and it can be hard to judge how healthy the community is.
It's not the first article I read on HN about an upcoming recession. This is for sure self-centered but the questions I end up asking myself are mainly how it'll affect my life and career.

Questions like if there was a recession tomorrow would I still be able to apply at a cushy well-paid faang job or if it is even smart to switch job now since the newer you are the more likely your are to be cut off if there is a need for downsizing.

I've never lived through a recession as a working individual hence why the prospect makes me nervous. I figure that, over the course of one's life, one goes through a few of them and that (mostly) everyone seems to make it out ok but if someone has some insights to share I'll be grateful.
I'm possibly going to go against the grain here but I'll speak my truth...6 hours honestly feels like too little time and isn't necessarily something to celebrate.

If I only worked for 6 hours and 4 days I'd lose my mind. I've tried it and I didn't like it one bit. May be that's just me but I enjoy my work so much I wish there were 25 hours.

I can already see it, imagine people who have their list full, removing people and replacing them would be a public passive aggressive "thing" people would do and the such drama that would follow. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I think this would actually be a selling point of the platform, however could possibly turn into a negative part of the social culture.
> Russia still receives sanctions

If they were afraid of sanctions (which, even at this level are a complete joke,) they wouldn't be doing military adventures which would set them as a target for them.

> It's not that easy to make an objective opinion, Russia had way more to loose than any of us + 65% Russians in the country would have made it possible to make a democratic decision ( in theory)

This sound to me as a Russian a complete nonsense. An average Russian couldn't have hated Russia more for what it is, let alone opting to jump into the "warm embrace of the fatherland" once they got out.

For Russians, Russians who ended up with Ukrainian, Baltic states, or even a some joke Central Asian passport after the collapse of the Union are seen as somebody very lucky.

And the talk of ethnic Russians in the West, let alone US and Canada ever thinking of returning to Russia is a complete joke. Sorry, but you read to much Pravda, I'm afraid. I can't get other words for that.
>Wow, how did it take the public so long to wake up? I thought the default was that it was public property in most places on earth.

Sorry it will take only a minute. Let me check with my native American friend.

That's true. But people do change. Once you stop wearing your engineering hat, most of the benefit goes out the window. Yes, of all people, he should've known better to heed to his engineers' warning. He also should've ensured the properly management structure was in place such that the warning was given proper due diligence and risk management.

I think you can still be an effective CEO of Boeing as long as you have right composition of senior leadership in place. Decades of major design-flow related crashes made everyone complacent.

Yes, land ownership is a social construct, but that's not the issue here. The issue here is that, once the ink has dried on the "social contract," the State cannot change the bargain just because it doesn't like the deal it made.

In this case, there is a public trust doctrine, which says that public beaches (up to the high tide line) are dedicated to the use of the public. But the California Court of Appeals has held that this doctrine doesn't apply here, due to an oddity in the history of Khosla's land. It dates from a Mexican land grant: vhttps://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/04/27/martins-beach-appeal....

> In a 52-page opinion, the 1st District Court of Appeal in San Francisco upheld the main element of San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Gerald Buchwald’s 2014 decision in Khosla’s favor. The court found the public does not have the right under the California constitution to cross Khosla’s property to reach the shoreline.

The California court reached a decision about what the property rights are. The State didn't like the result, so now it's been looking for other ways to do the same thing. Even if you don't like Khosla, you shouldn't be happy about that.
What I'd really like to see in cases like this is the state playing hardball with entitled billionaires.

Why not use eminent domain to build a state road to the beach? I mean this will face a court battle too I'm sure but for a slice of land for a road you're not talking that much money (the property owner needs to be compensated by the Fifth Amendment) and building a few miles of road (I honestly don't know how much) also isn't that expensive.

I mean we're talking lawyer fees kind of money here right? Having a state road once and for all solve this issue, no?

I'm generally against governments simply placing the burden for public services onto private individuals. This is the real problem with things like rent control. If the government feels lower rents for certain individuals is a public good then why does the burden for this fall on the property owner instead of the state?

So one could argue the state should provide public access to something that is currently only accessible over private land, right?

California, build a road.

While we're at it, I've read about this story before but had missed the detail that there was a parking lot, a store and toilets at the site built and maintained by the prior owner.

How exactly is this not dedicating the road to public access? What tortured legal argument swindled the court here?
I have this theory that's seems too simple (and prior-confirming for me) to be true. My theory is that this run-up is caused by inequality, and is likely to continue until more is done about inequality, either politically or by market forces. Maybe we'll have repeating cycles of ever-bigger bubbles and ever-bigger corrections until something changes.

The theory goes like this: under inequality, wealth is concentrated at the top. People at the top look to invest money, but spend a smaller portion of it compared to people lower down the distribution. This has two effects:

1. There is more and more money chasing after returns. This has a tendency to drive asset prices ever-higher.
2. Since the people who would spend the money (i.e., the less wealthy) don't have it, making returns becomes more difficult.

Warren's quotes in the article get at this, with the idea of earnings being decoupled from stock valuations, until suddenly they forcefully re-couple, so to speak.
As I don't care much about the social network aspect, I would use a competitor that offers better functionality.
Unfortunately library thing's homepage makes it seem like it's not updated for a few years, which makes me wonder if it's worth migrating for a platform that might not be actively maintained anymore.

The talks from the big Congress (yearly) are either in German or English. I'd say the split is 50%.
But most talks are translated ton English or German and some are to other languages (French, Spanish, Russian). The translations are done by volunteers during the talk so they might not be perfect.
Then the state should use eminent domain to take his road, then upkeep the beach, the parking lot, and the bathrooms themselves. Instead, the state is trying to force him to run a business that loses money.
Until today, Khosla wasn't fighting the State.
> Roku is frequently derided for being spyware here, and CCC is full of privacy aware hackers. I would have thought the crossover of people interested in CCC and Roku TV subscribers would be fairly low.

fwiw, I had trouble watching one of the presentations linked here last week so I went to YouTube and watched it there.

Evangelizing/educating is sort of like bank robbery I guess. There's like an old joke where someone asked a famous bank robber why they robbed banks and they said "because that's where the money is"... so maybe there maybe people who don't know they are interested in CCC who they might be able to reach.

Looks like CCC has serious problems in its administration (they beat up Vincent Canfield) https://twitter.com/gexcolo/status/1214261610338037761 but imo that does not take away anything from the presenters/presentations.

> Airbus may eventually have that problem with the A320 family. I really don't know. But they don't have it yet.

Airbus is already fly-by-wire on the A320, and they know how to do it not too stupidly. They can provide the same control laws and feedbacks to new models without introducing ugly hacks on top of mechanical commands. That helps.

I believe other Airbus families already use controls that are very similar to the ones used in the A320, and even if that's not of the same type rating that probably also ease training a lot.

The 737 will eventually have to go; even the somehow modernized versions are a quite outdated way to make big commercial airplanes nowadays. (And the whole idea of grandfathering regulation is utterly stupid, btw.)

I don’t think this indicator is relevant anymore. Nowadays, it’s extremely easy for anyone around the world to invest in US stocks when in 2000/2008 that was nearly impossible in the majority of countries. I’m from eastern europe and invested in a few american companies a while ago. People underestimate the value of that.
This is very bad advice. 130k in low COL is absolutely not equal to 400k in Bay. People generally cap their housing expense to 30% salary. So that may give you a mansion in low COL and a 3 bedroom townhome in bay, but the remaining 70% goes very very far. Remember vacations, Tesla, electronic goods, in n out, cost the same no matter where you live.

A GPL or AGPL software should not exist on NPM for libraries. For tools yes, but GPL for libraries is for 99% of the users a non-starter. It just does not belong into a library ecosystem.

To be clear: everyone has the free right to license their stuff how they like. I just think NPM as a ecosystem should be opinionated (and it is... Towards MIT. Just not completely).
This might seem rude or presumptuous, and I really don't mean to come across that way but I don't know another way to say it.

Go open a history book.

Seriously! Not enough people here, and (broadly) in computing circles, actually bother to obtain even basic undergraduate or pre-undergraduate knowledge about other fields, and yet they feel more than content to argue about a myriad of topics and to even form opinions and argue for them, based on this complete and utter lack of knowledge! There are too many people on this site and others arguing about, say, sociology, without even bothering to google about the topic, let alone opening up a sociology 101 textbook and skimming it, and it is blisteringly obvious (and extremely depressing) to people who have.

Any answer you have here can only be answered by someone who has studied the industrial revolution, anything else, and everything else, is pure conjecture. Unfortunately it won't be treated as such, because argument ex culo seems to be the norm for people inducted into computers or statistics.

A lot of the 'debates' here could be completely nullified (or raised to a higher level) if the people arguing about topics here actually took half an hour out of their day to read an introductory undergraduate text first, or even just opened up google and typed in their question first.
