I think it is more what mannykannot said, combined with the fact that chlorine/salt/sand will also irritate skin, as well as the fact that sun reflecting off of water/glass/metal is not just reflecting visible light (sometime in the past few months there was a great thread on here with a guy talking about how they use mirrors to reflect sun onto solar panels where he works in Canada I think).

Snow sunburn is also a thing, IIRC snow can reflect as much as 90% of the UV. You can actually go 'snowblind' from this uv reflection.
A phone would probably be the most useful sensor. You call the people that laid the internet cables and ask.
Just tax the vacant homes at high rates and use that money to build even more housing. Win/win for the city.
Oh, gee, they look too similar? You mean like the New York, London, Tokyo and Paris subway maps look similar?

Maybe Paris and London should sue the MTA for copying their maps.
But a bunch of the methods we have for securing, say, mobile phones, grew out of user accounts.

Personally I don't know Android innards deeply, but when I was trying to backup and restore a rooted phone I did notice that every app's files have a different owner uid/gid and the apps typically won't launch without that set up correctly. So it would seem they implemented per-app separation in this instance by having a uid per app.

Imagine a world where Google had chosen to build on a kernel that had spent many decades with no filesystem permissions at all. Perhaps they'd have to pay the same app compatibility costs that Microsoft did going from 9x to NT kernel, or changing the default filesystem to ACL'd-down NTFS.
I call bullshit. Say what tower it was, and when it was built, and what time frame you are actually talking about so we can verify for ourselves whether it was actually empty or not, or even if it was empty whether it was empty for a good reason (e.g. not having it's habitability permit). Otherwise this is the worst kind of anecdata - not even enough detail to verify that the anecdote is true, nevermind whether it is actually a representative sample of a larger issue or just an odd case.

You can't build yourself out of the housing crisis when the problem is one of distribution, not one of supply.

This is wrong. There is no distribution problem with housing. It's not that people can't find a house to live in, or a house has to be shipped across the country and the rail line is broken.

The problem is that people can't afford housing. And they can't afford it because demand has increased dramatically while supply has been artificially constrained by government.

The solution is to remove the government constraints on supply which will lower prices. Now obviously the trick is that existing owners don't want to do this, and they have a lot of political power. So I don't really see this happening, but if it somehow could happen that would be the path to the answer.
AFAIK, if you CAN rent a property for $X and it remains empty, you can take it as a loss. $X tracks inflation/value, which was a huge problem when I lived in Pittsburgh. Places that were empty for 40 years had ludicrously high rents (4X+ new places), so they just remained empty as tax write offs.
That's not an accurate image of dairy farms, at least based on the large farm I visited. Cow productivity is strongly influenced by the quality of life of the cow. Stressed, stick or otherwise unhappy cows produce less milk and as a consequence, farmers put a lot of effort into keeping them healthy and happy. The particular farm I visited used milking robots produced in the Netherlands. Cows spent their days outdoors and would visit the milking robot on their own when they decided to. The robot would also clean the cow, give it a snack and record some some basic health data.

The only thing that seemed inhumane to me was how calves would be separated from their mothers so early. Just a few weeks (days?) after being born, they were shipped off to a separate location a thousand miles away.
I seriously doubt it, but am curious to hear an explanation of why people think this?
It is a HiPAP device, used for submarine positioning:

https://www.kongsberg.com/globalassets/maritime/km-products/...
> This is the real issue. Governments restrict housing supply for whatever misguided reasons and prices go up, those prices make it a good place to park cash. Government should stop picking winners and losers.

Restriction of housing is not limited to Government, housing developers also do it:

"[Kate] Barker reached a similar conclusion in her interim report, where she noted that in order to maximize their profits, developers control the rate of production and ‘trickle out’ no more than 100–200 houses a year from a large development. ‘This may not be desirable from society’s point of view,’ she wrote." (from https://www.annaminton.com/bigcapital)

Personally, I trust the reasons that a Government would limit housing more than I would a for-profit company who are probably operating in the interests of investors who don't live in the affected areas.

Even more than Big Government control though, I would prefer the people that live in an area to have the biggest say into how things are run.
The number of people who have control of social media accounts for companies who do not understand how to relate to people / basic customer service / can predict how their post will be received is shocking.

I worked at a company of 5K+ people and one of the folks in control of the twitter account(s) would come to me with questions.

Now I applauded them for coming to me for technical questions before posting, that was great, but they absolutely did not have the self awareness / understand what to say / when to say it and etc.

But hey they were tied to a high ranking person (who also had no clue) so they had access to the account.

In my early days I worked PC customer support... I feel like that comes in handy all the time.
According to MarineTraffic, most of that track is from today. Unless the found article was only given back to them this afternoon, they wouldn't have still been looking for it today. Seems more likely they're doing a sonar survey of the seabed, given it's an oceanographic survey vessel.
> The work that goes I to this is copyrightable

I have to pick a nit here. In terms of copyright, effort matters only in a very specific way. Generally, only artifacts matter. The map is a thing. The creator of the map holds copyright.

Copyright is also very specific. It is literally the right to make copies. This becomes important when we talk about things like clean room design for reverse engineering. The wikipedia article gives a good summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_room_design

Independent invention is a valid defense in copyright claims. If you can show that two similar artifacts, e.g. a piece of bootloader code or a map, derive from independent work, then there is no violation of copyright, because no copy has been made.

The effort matters only insofar as its independence.

This stands in contrast to a patent which specifically protects an idea and its application.
I guess now Justin Trudeau has an opportunity to get Canada a seat on the UN security council. He has a choice between going down the path of sadness and misery or peace and prosperity.

One of the most frustrating things about the hostility that "native" Bay Area residents show toward new transplants is that in many cases, "native" Bay Area residents are ones getting rich off of the high rents.
The only typical exception to this is depreciation, but it applies whether the space is vacant or occupied, and is thus irrelevant here.
Repeal it for everything.

Just do what Texas does and allow deferred property tax payments for when the owner dies or sells.

Why should we be giving tax breaks to people who have seen incredible appreciation of their homes. Those are the last people who should be getting tax breaks.
You can't satisfy demand for speculative assets. China tried to do it by building entire cities, and still failed.
There's large downside risk to renting out property. One bad tenant trashing the place can cancel out years of rent.

And in the Bay Area people invest more for appreciation than rent. The rent/price ratio is much higher elsewhere.
I dunno. It looks like an improvement on the Vignelli map, but I think the less pretty one the MTA uses today is more functional.
Outside HN and Reddit talks, most people I know don't even care about FOSS OSes existence, they just want something that they buy at the shopping mall and can use right away.
That's a great explanation. One other thing that contributes to the equilibrium I think we haven't mentioned here is migration. You mention that as the number of accommodations increase, the price of existing residences is shifted down. This is supply. But demand is changing too. And I think that demand to live in the bay area is absolutely huge. As supply increases, I believe that either new people will move in to meet that supply. Or, under-housed current residents of the bay area will level up (ie. move out of a van / garage / attic and into a "real" dwelling).

Another thing to mention is that the remaining single family houses will have a different kind of value once they become rarer. Owning one of the final single family houses in San Francisco is the ultimate flex. You still have a backyard; you can still walk to things. So some super-rich person will come knocking and want to buy just as a status symbol or as a way to get the way of life they want but still in the city.
> The actual photons that hit an object are not the same ones that eventually enter your eyes.

For anything opaque, you should expect this, because otherwise how could you see something's color if you only saw the same photons as the light source it reflected?
This line of thinking is what pushes me more and more against patents and copyright. A lot of creativity and innovation gets killed because somebody has a diffuse fear of something bad happening so let’s just kill everything.

That is approximately why C4 photosynthesis hasn't swept the field and replaced C3 entirely: it's an advantage in high-light, dry conditions, whereas in wet, dark conditions, the more efficient use of ATP in C3 fixation provides a comparative advantage.

FWIW I'm quite bullish on the type of research in the Fine Article; humans have the ability to provide choice conditions to our crops, and so we can maximize yield without (much) concern for the tradeoffs experienced in the state of nature.

I'd predict, for example, that we'll have a C4 rice crop out of the lab and in the field in ten years or less.
Can I just point out the insanity of 3D models being subject to trademark and copyright? You can take/paint/draw a picture of a mailbox and post it but if you make a 3D model all of the sudden the legal system loses it's goddamn mind. It's been a huge issue in the video game space where companies are suing for licencing whenever someone includes something in a game, including FOSS game efforts (Honda Jet removed from Flight Gear).

Why can't we just leave art alone?
I hear you, but that doesn't seem like how anything works in our legal system. When warrants are issued for cellphone records, text messages, financial records, etc, they don't have so narrow a scope.

The state has probable cause to believe there is evidence of criminal behavior in your <insert anything here>. Therefore the warrant gives them access to it in order to look for that (previously specified) criminal behavior. In this case everyone expects to find a smoking gun in his email - either talking to his manager or talking to someone else. That seems like probable cause to me.
Trump's plan? What plan? Trump is saying things (America first, let's MAGA, no more ME wars, let's get the troops back) but he's doing the exact opposite: weakening the US' international standing by stirring up conflict with enemies and allies, disregarding international law, stirring more conflict in the ME (which requires more troops, +17000 in the last year), and forcing countries that relied on American tech and finance to become independent or find alternatives (China being the obvious example). The US presidency has become a global problem and a laughing stock, so the "US position" is certainly much weaker than it was before. And the killing of Soleimani is just another step in the same direction.
I'll take the countervailing opinion here: regardless what the usual expectations of the standards organization might be, the situation changes as soon as it's included as legal requirements.

At soon as its inclusion in law is effective, their ability to collect fees or in any way restrict access is void. The referenced version, from that point forward, needs to be publicly accessible at no charge for as long as it is legally binding.

If they don't want to relinquish financial control, don't make it part of the public record or legally binding. QED.
Iranian Missile System Shot Down Ukraine Flight, Probably by Mistake
Really nice idea, and when I worked as an architect I often wished for something like this. :)

Some feedback:

- Only show the top level information for each block by default. So the front page of the example would have the "Lambda" block, but it would be empty until you click on it to drill into it. Otherwise it gets cluttered fast. I've seen some architecture diagrams that attempt to fit every single sub-sub-component into one "master" diagram, and it creates huge information overload.

- (This is more about the example than the UX, I think...) When drilling into it, as opposed to having source code functions or resources, it would be nice to see actual architectural components (like functional units of systems).

I love how it shows dependencies. Great work!

I would look at IDEs, specifically feature requests that are the same across platforms, the same in every forum from Eclypse to Amethyst 2. Specifically features that don't tend to be implemented because they're just a bit too complex to be rule based.

IMHO an agent is the wrong way and discovery (like in Emacs) or a status/hint line is the way to go. Keeping it unobtrusive enough not to be annoying, but still present enough to be helpful when needed. AKA be more like Alfred from Batman and less like Ace Ventura.
It's not. Better to take anything written about SV by the Washington Post and use it as toilet paper.
I think these chips go in really low end computers like possibly chromebooks or sub 300$ laptops where intel falls short on pricing. But from what I can understand AMD is already selling 300$ 3200U laptops which maybe perform similar to these.
Nonetheless I find it really amazing that only 3 years ago 2c/4t was normal for high end flagship laptops like xps 13 with 7200u and now those chips are lowest end chips being offered.

I should have said that I really want a general-purpose OS to prioritize perceived latency. Mobile OS (and gaming consoles) of course are tuned quite differently and in my brain I view them as completely different experiences when I use them. My desktop while significantly more powerful just _feels_ slower because of the latency.
In fairness, I think the claim (still meritless) would be that he adapted the original Vignelli map, not the version of it that the MTA started using in 2011.
In Denmark its hard to get around, as you have to register your official postal adress for the government using your CPR nr (kinda like social security numner).

Has anyone had decent results with these mowers (any brand)? I'm in the process of building a house that's going to have a pretty simple yard and I've considering picking one of these up.

They are also substantially more expensive than the typical electric mowers you push yourself but if it saves x hours per week/month could be worth it. I just don't want to end up with an expensive paperweight and end up having to buy another mower anyways.

If authorization or security is a primary selling attribute of your service, and you have the professional capacity to do so, then by all means roll your own. If it is a means to an end, abstract the problem away to a service that will spend more time caring about the safety of your users.
I agree the artist wins the case, but on fair use not prior art. The following quotes in an email essentially kill any possible MTA case:

>“Yes, there are minor differences between your map and the MTA map,” Freundlich wrote in his email. “But given your access to the MTA map on the MTA website, and the substantial similarities of your map to the MTA map, the only rational conclusion is that your map is based on the MTA Vignelli map.”

MTA acknowledges the artist map is based on the MTA map and acknowledges differences no matter how minor.
> Human body temperature is a crude surrogate for basal metabolic rate

> higher metabolic rate, shorter life span

> lower metabolism, greater body mass

In other words, if you are a really, really skinny person (like myself), you would be looking at a statistically shorter lifespan, unless somehow your normal body temp is lower than average or you spot some other sign of decreased basal metabolic rate. Huh!

I had some intuition along those lines but thought it’s false, and habitually viewed high metabolic rate as nothing but a “feature” until now.

I suppose, then, you might want to be aware of this if you have a young family—get life insurance, if you haven’t already (and I also hope, if this research proves sound, insurers won’t start taking it into account any time soon).
Ah, yes of course it does. Silly me.

None of this detracts from the greater point, being that we need a way for all writing systems to somehow squeeze down into the subset of ASCII supported by legacy protocols.
I ran BeOS back in the day (even have the developer book!) and I've been trying Haiku on and off over the years.

It's been interesting. The browser isn't quite all there yet but might be considered serviceable, and you can sort of get a working dev environment going on it (not many modern runtimes, though, nor a way to run Linux binaries that would let me do Clojure).

It's certainly worth keeping an eye on, although there were some weird decisions - for instance, I remember a thread on ARM support where whomever was tackling that was completely dissing the Raspberry Pi, and yet today, if I were to install it permanently on any machine to tinker with, it would almost certainly be a Pi...

One of the strangest things in AI, to me, is that you can average the weights of multiple different models to create a single model that’s better than any of the individuals.

This is how distributed training often works, for example. Data parallelism.

I don’t understand why it still works in higher dimensions, but it seems to.

The intuition is that the multiple models are “spinning” around the true solution, so averaging gives the final result more quickly. But it works even early in the training process.
No it's not. It looks like it on the surface, but real world usage will run into the blocking `get()` methods blocking threads on the thread pool leading to deadlocks or low throughput. What C++ needs is a well thought out design of how to transfer values in a purely asynchronous manner (like Rust futures, JavaScript promises, etc).

There's no real attempt here to explain what all the empty houses are about. Second homes? Pied-à-terre's for the rich that live elsewhere?

In nearby British Columbia, recently as property values were spiking there was increased scrutiny of "empty homes" amongst the fact that many new condo developments were luxury developments being explicitly marketed in international magazines and foreign cities.

Drilling down to the individual neighbourhood level, some places were more than 20% 'empty'.

When the government shifted to the social democratic NDP, the new government brought in a "Speculation Tax" which was really more of a vacancy tax. The tax essentially makes it substantially more expensive to have a secondary, empty, home in certain parts of the province. Places that are obvious tourism towns like Whistler are exempt.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-s-specul...

> Introduced Dec. 31, 2018, the tax targets homes in the most populated areas of B.C. that are not declared as a primary residence or are not rented out for at least three months a year. More than 99 per cent of British Columbians are exempt.
