I'm starting to see this - of the 8 or so houses sold in Los Altos over the last month, one was 5% under asking and the other was 18% under asking. It's still pretty rare though.

More interesting is the huge hit to the volume of sales. Mountain View was turning over about 8 houses/month before COVID, but for each of the last 2 months, only 4 houses have sold, and 5 in March.

I think it'll be a while, and depend upon how the reopening goes, whether we get layoffs at major tech companies, and whether remote work becomes common.
Luckily it's only those "fringe elements" that are getting tear gassed, attacked with rubber bullets and batons, or being arrested. As both the media and the government have stated they are the problem.
Really interested in the multiplayer functionality, since Unity seems to have made zero progress on the problem in the last 5 years.
This is a flawed comparison. Libraries exist because they can lend a book to only one person at a time. They don't try to provide full access to a book to an unlimited number of people around the world.
If only one website has what I'm looking for, then definitely give me that site. If multiple sites have what I want, then prioritizing by which sites will give it to me fastest sounds like it both helps me with this search and helps with future searches (since it puts incentives towards making sites less slow).

In general, prioritizing speed highly helps small independent sites and over large bloated sites: they typically have less JS, fewer round trips on the critical path, etc. Make your site simple enough (ex: https://danluu.com/) and it will automatically be fast.

Ok, great - I'll read up on those links. Thanks for the explanation.
His arguments for the origins of policing being a protector of private capital was an eye-opener for me.

I already was familiar with the argument that the police are more often deployed in the service of protecting private property rather than public protection (eg. these protests) but it was surprising just how blatant the relationship was between capitalists being scared of labour power and new police forces being created.

I need to look into it more.
In 1995, Polish Scientific Publishers PWN, a long-time publisher of dictionaries, sued Kurpisz, a new publishing house, for plagiarizing their large dictionary of Polish. The case was closed in favor of PWN in 2005, hitting the Supreme Court along the way.

Among the evidence against Kurpisz was their entry on the nonce word "amikus" (meaning "friend"), which they illustrated with the quotation "spijał się ze swoimi amikusami" (he was getting drunk with his friends) but could not tell the court where they had gotten the quotation from. Nowadays, with libraries digitizing every flimsy old book, they would find the source easily.
That sentence is perfectly fine

The "niemals" make it sound like you care very very deeply about me not committing to the master (and your are right of course)

Wow! Your summary of what I am getting at is spot-on.
I sincerely tried to switch from Mac to Windows for development (mainly web). It was just too slow on IO. Installing NPM packages could take literally 10 minutes on WSL. This says as much about the state of JS dev as it does about WSL but it was just not fast enough in general. Outside of WSL, Windows just wasn’t intuitive enough either. Everything you take for granted on Mac is missing from Windows.
I don’t think that’s true. The landlord can cancel this “option” reasonably easily so it is quite different from selling a call.

I look at it like: the fair value for rent is x. The current rent is y > x. If the landlord nominally lowers the rent, they cannot raise it to as high a value next year, and they do not want to do this. Therefore they are incentivised to (effectively) give the tenant money along with the rent to decrease y without changing the nominal rent and giving up on the right to increase it.
It's a hassle to sign up though; at least they could show me an example weather forecast for some region so I could compare it to others before bothering to play with their API... of course I won't bother if their forecasts are no good.
You'd have to gain control of the gun before them in order to empty it.
> Compare that to monthly whole-cluster outages from the full-best-practices all-cattle people.

I'm trying to phrase this as nicely as I can: this statement does not reflect the reality of modern day operations.

edit: For people downvoting

1) How exactly do you think operations at companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Uber, Spotify, etc. work?

2) How often are those companies having monthly outages?
It’s not automatic. TCAS is a warning system (available given the sensors installed) that provides a resolution advisory. It’s up the pilot to take action.

A very few number of planes do have the capability to integrate this with autopilot but it’s almost always disabled because it can cause cascading collision issues.
Right but we have Obama officials saying they believe Russia has something to do with it. Why would they want to help Trump and not Biden?
Ergo "provided it doesn't present any problems from then and now", but I'm grateful for the context offered by that ticket.

Ask HN: What is your database horror story?
I work as a data scientist, and I've seen so many clients with nightmare DB setups that make it impossible to do the analysis they want. No illogical schemas, unique keys, un-normalized data, and columns that nobody understands. Too many times, we resort to a bunch of heuristics and glue code to resolve and clean the data.

I'm curious what "DB war stories" are out there
Totally appreciate what you're saying - some of the time I'm just in a basic text mood as well. (And am a fan of, for instance, legiblenews.com.)

Most of the time I'm a JavaScript maximalist, though. Crufty, dank and deplorable.

>>a policing system that is so fundamentally damaged and has not been effectively reformed fast enough.

The problem is there has been ZERO actual reform to policing at all, there have been at best some lipstick measures but there has been zero real reforms to the fundamental structure of policing in this nation. Which includes the Paramilitary style, training, order, and even ranking with in the various dept's

The Militarization of the police force has been going on for decades, and this is what happens when you use a military for policing. It never works out well for anyone

I have no hope that the police departments of this nation have any desire to roll back that militarization at all, and I have no hope that the legislatures of this nation have any intention to force that rollback to occur.
Given the story of successful forks (MariaDB, LibreOffice) I think it can be a good option.
Then I think what you can use are the Lua or Duktape plugins, which were indeed written to allow people to write their own logic without having to worry about C or forks: even if the C code of the plugins is updated, your code is in a script that is loaded dynamically and is external to them.

If you forget about the videoroom.lua code and do something from scratch, you're free to handle the logic however you want: handling media is as simple as saying "send incoming media from A to B and C", and media-wise that's all you need to do in the script itself to have the C portion do the heavy lifting for you. You still need to take care of SDP and signalling, but you can do that on your own terms. I still have a plan to implement yet another plugin that delegates the logic to a remote node using something RPC-based, but unfortunately I didn't have time for that yet.
I’d like to see this. Designing behavior and UI presentation for cautious slowdowns would be an interesting challenge. The car would only be slowing in situations when the driver was comfortable (else the driver would be asserting the control.) Believability would be a challenge, as would persuading drivers from setting speed higher to compensate.
Even the French speakers embody all the German stereotypes more than the Germans.
Google is the God of Control of the web. It thinks it knows what the people want, but it's just using its influence to make it look that way.

The only difference is that Google isn't even aware that's what it's doing.
Correct, at least here in Europe Dark Sky was super low-res in terms of its weather maps and predictions. As a result it was way off the mark. Especially the rain map here in Spain. I think it was really focused on the US.

At the moment I use openweathermap but interested in better ones.

I have 4 years of experience as as network engineer and want to focus more on programming/automation.

Ideal role involves using go or typescript.
my point was more in the line that there are times in history when people and organization have to take sides. refusing to do so means implicitly taking sides.

facebook not using its right to kick violence-mongers off their platform is an implicit way of supporting them.

Facebook doesn't have to support trump or to spread his hate speech. Facebook is choosing to do so.
Just let them know you are looking at other units with competitors, and that you expect them to price match. You have the power. Act like it, and they'll lower the rent for you. They don't want to carry that empty unit.
I do, and Python 3's support for Unicode identifiers was a welcome addition. It's a great help for readability.
Yes, but a directly levered position and an indirectly levered position, for all but Talebian wet dream scenarios, have the same exact risk profile.

Levered notes are regulatory arbitrage and are not materially safer investments levering up on one's own. In fact, the investor is probably better served by the latter due to lower fees.
Yup! My UI class, at the height of the flatness craze, started with a review of post-WWI German typography.
Immuni – An extra tool to fight Covid
I think I can only echo most of the comments here that of course there are translations of "branch" "implementation" etc., but the norm is to adapt the English one to the language in my experience.

Good example is Turkish, there have been a lot of effort into deriving enough words to be able to converse in full Turkish about the CS topics or even Scientific topics, but it was not able to "satisfy the demand".

As an example, "feeding data to some service", there is a widely used "veri" for "data", and there is also translation of "to feed", "beslemek".

Sometimes when I hear "Servise veri besliyoruz"(We are feeding data to the service) I immediately think of someone feeding some kind of animal.

So in my experience talking to Turkish developers, if they are from a "corporate" environment, they are more likely to use these native words but people involved in startups etc. usually say "Servise Data feedliyoruz". (Generalising a lot here, I am sure they are a lot of exceptions)

Fun fact: Turkish actually derived a word for "to compute" to avoid confusing it with "to calculate", Although it is not used at all: "bermek". while the "calculating" is "hesaplamak".

In case you are interested(Turkish):

Detecting a pedestrian where they are not meant to be is exactly when you should slow down. That's a weird choice, so I assume they were having false positives and couldn't leave the detection on.
That is a comment about unreleased software planned for the future.

All radar based distance cruise control does this same thing. They ignore strange stationary reflections.
When I try to buy something on Walmart.com, sometimes I get to the checkout screen before it informs me that the item can only be picked up at a physical store. If I wanted to see such items, I'd go to the physical store.
I don't think you even need a hostile state actor. Almost nobody I've discussed current affairs with that is supportive of the rioters is capable of understanding that the only correct way to compare racial/gender disparities in excessive use of police force is based on per 10,000 arrests per violent crime. You quickly discover that there really isn't much of a disparity and the disparity that exists doesn't even lean in the direction people believes it does.

Is there a problem with excessive use of police force? Definitely. Is it disproportionate with regards to race or gender relative to representation based on a per 10,000 arrests per violent crime basis? No.
Are the police deliberately attacking peaceful protests which causes the protestors to attack back? No, it's the Russians which are at fault.

Not to mention, how is this relevant at all to the linked post?
It actually does work for many people. In digital demand gen you generally send sequences of emails because sending just one has less effect than sending several in a row.
I've observed that racial stereotypes seem to be borne out more often than not in the urban environments I've lived in, because minorities there tend to be disproportionately poor and uneducated. So I share your skepticism that "diversity" per se is the answer to prejudice. Canada for example is much more white on the whole compared to the US, and far more tolerant on the whole. Ditto with Scandinavia etc.
So don't go into debt to go to university then. I think that's pretty easy if you avoid the US for your undergraduate degree, and it's probably also possible in the US with some planning and careful university choosing. And if you pick the field of your PhD with some care you can do a PhD without going into debt, even in the US.

You mention medicine and law as fields were you need to go to university, but you forgot also the vast majority of research. I think some subfields of computer science, because of their youth, are still the wild west and it is possible to do research in them without a PhD (like the author of the article), but even in those it's hard. In math you definitely see almost no research at all being done by non-PhDs, probably the same is true in various sciences.

This happens to me with shopping carts that I never register for but started to enter email.

You get a "left something in your cart" discount code.

So I've started to do that on purpose when I can't find a discount for a site, works about 50% of the time. Start to checkout, enter email, get to payment and just close tab. Wait an hour or two.
Driver wasn’t paying attention, not surprising. You have to actively ignore the warnings to pay attention or hack together a rig to put torque on the wheel.
Antifa would have to become more organized and commit significant violence to earn a terrorist organization designation. I mean, if the far more organized and violent hate groups in the us haven't earned it, antifa isn't even in the running!

Please don’t frame these things as either or, America has the capacity to do both.

If you don’t like a policy that harms Americans say that and limit your argument to that. Hong Kong people are humans too and we can help them if we have the will.

And by the way. 3 Trillion dollars went to help Americans. If more is needed demand it but to say that helping others is some how an indication that we won’t have enough for ourselves is BS.
You are greatly minimizing the problems that most Americans face. Most American cities are not dense enough to require good public transportation options (the exception being NYC); without enough density (and lack of public funding), public transportation is short on cash and often very inconvenient. If you miss your bus, you have to wait an absurd amount of time for the next available one. Also good luck with hauling in all the groceries and stuff you need into your suburban home using only buses.... simply not possible.

So there are multiple factors at play. Short of a massive change in the way American cities are designed or some innovation that greatly reduces the cost of building public transportation, cars will continue to be something Americans absolutely need for surviving.
My understanding as an average American (in this context) is that in European cities there are nice, fairly frequent, commuter trains and rail; and often also busses.

In the US, mostly the only 'good' bus service is geared for 9-5 workers in big offices in big cities. Anything outside of that tends to run across the economic divide that: people who take the bus _have_ to take the bus, while taking the car is a luxury in time, freedom, and isolation from possibly literally unwashed masses (who might also literally be taking the bus in the summer for a place to have some AC and safety with a seat).

The issue is very much related to classism and a lack of social safety nets and inclusion.
Tesla doesn’t always suppress radar. My Tesla will occasionally phantom brake due to long sweeping left hand curves in the carpool lane with the adjacent lane stopped or low hanging road signs.
There are lots of questionable ways in which Google owns the web (AMP, reCaptcha harassing users without Google cookies, Chrome's "Fire And Motion" web standards strategy), but this one isn't one of them.

In the webdev community it's well known that good performance is very important for user satisfaction, and that's backed up by research. There are no ideal metrics, and unfortunately every single one of them has some dumb edge cases. You could endlessly bikeshed which metrics could be better, but this particular set is not unreasonable.

It makes sense for search engine to pick websites that not only have the relevant content, but also are able to actually get that content on screen without frustrating users with slow-loading crap that makes browser freeze and stutter.

Keep in mind that your high-end desktop web experience is in minority. The web is now mostly mobile, and mobile is mostly low-end Android. That's a shit sandwitch, and it desperately needs an intervention.
That noble purpose is largely stymied, however, in a first-past-the-post voting system where wealthy individuals and corporations have an outsized ability to lobby and influence. Under these constraints, it almost inevitably leads to a two-party political duopoly where voters must vote for the lesser evil -- because the threshold is not to be good or effective but to be slightly less awful than your opponent.
Switching to one-way-binding is really just replacing upward propagation with events, right? Aren't both approaches vulnerable to data-change cycles, just by different means?

It's pretty irresponsible to put a 16-year old behind the wheel, but we do it every day.

We just put another driver in there to check things.

In the same way, what I think is:

autopilot - pretty safe

driver + autopilot - safest
It's certainly a fuzzy line. Like I said, there's no way to wall off politics from tech - many issues we discuss are inherently political, and in many cases a blanket refusal to discuss them would also be political.

This article clearly falls over that fuzzy line. It's not a discussion, or an analysis, or an evaluation of competing claims. It's not even an attempt to persuade. It's a call to action, a set of instructions from Mr. Obama on how to accomplish the political goals he presumes readers share. I do share his goals, and his instructions sound reasonable, but I don't see HN as an appropriate venue to publish them. Not every discussion forum should turn into a political action committee when there's important politics to be done.
Civil disobedience != violence. Illegal action is sometimes justified. Violence never is.
> Intentionally abandon carts

Yeah, I do that all the time when I'm dealing with real humans. Get a quote, then let them know you're considering it along with some other options, and hold off for a day or two and the human will often get back to you with a discount.

Sometimes works with rental apartments as well.

It's almost a perfectly scriptable thing -- I sometimes wish Google Assistant could do this negotiating stuff instead of reserving haircuts.

I also want to see the data that "autopilot" was actually on.
I write the blog: http://DataGenetics.com

1. Process: I keep a task list (using google tools) with a list of topic ideas. When I think of something I want to write about, or find interesting links, I place them there. There's typically about two dozen ideas at any time incubating.

2. Start: I started the blog about a dozen years ago as a way to add depth to my website that was the front-end for my consulting business. I stopped consulting shortly after starting, and am now retired, but I keep the blog up on that site; I've built a following. It was easy to start. Ideas are easy; the hard part is finding the free time to write!

3. Motivation. I love doing it. I get pleasure from writing. When I was a kid, I loved reading the works of Martin Gardner. I hope my blog could be seen some way as an homage to his works.

4. No real struggles, but I made a conscious choice to not enable comments on my site. Comments will get you down. Everyone is a critic. Jerks will say "that's not special, I could have don that" (hmmm, but you didn't). My email address is not hard to find on the site if you want to get in contact with me. Don't fret too much about publishing; do what is right for you. There is a whole spectrum of 'advice' from people saying regular rapid cadence (even if you have nothing to say), through to only publish gems. I typically average about one post a week. Some of my posts are lightweight, others are heavyweights.
