Got a source to back up that claim? Detroit for example has seen inflation adjusted commercial office space prices massively drop:

"Adjusted for inflation, the average office tenant paid a peak price of $34.34 per square foot during the fourth quarter of 2000, 65.5 percent more than the current average rate of $20.76, according to Newmark Knight Frank data. It's almost as deeply pronounced for Class A space — which has the best amenities and finishes. Today's Class A rental rate is $24.36 per square foot, but in the third quarter of 2001, tenants paid inflation-adjusted rent of $38.12 per square foot, 56.5 percent more than now" [0].

Or if Brendan Eich had prevailed when he wanted to embed Scheme in Netscape instead of Javascript.
The reason why I'm supportive of the ARM business model is that the fees are really not that significant (eg compared to x86) and actually I think it's good to support a firm with a primary focus of getting the most performance per watt from a mobile chip. A few dollars in licensing fees is really a small price to pay.

Ask HN: Does your Macbook heat up?
It is. Sorry it is. I am not American and the whole two party thing annoys the heck out of me, but politics is the question of how we (or others) organize how we live with each other. This spans from mundane things like whether you can paint your fence in the color you like to fundamental existential questions that regard your safety and wellbeing.

If you think you hold no political opinion this is usually a sign that you can afford to do so. Just like my grandfather who fought in the Wehrmacht and said afterwards that he wasn't convinced, he just went the easy way and didn't question his orders. Was that apolitical? I don't think so — it was more an excuse he told himself to avoid responsibility for what he helped create.

Sorry, but sometimes inaction is political, because it means you are willing to give the controls to the next person who grabs it as long as you don't think you will end up worse off. "I don't care what happens to anyone but me", may sound apolitical, but it really isn't.

"The Earth revolves around the sun" was a highly political statement for part of history and still is (among hard-core fringe Christian apologists) in a minority of cases. You could even argue it's disrespectful to the 30% of Americans who believe the Bible to be literally true.

So it is a political statement, but not controversial to say in most situations.
A "member" tier subscription that let you restrict to seeing only content from other members (or verified users) might cut down on a lot of the noise there.
Agreed. I never thought the mental leap to Verilog was a big hurdle. It's just C-like syntax with some new constructs around signaling and parallelism. I found this interesting rather than foreboding.

The main challenge I had was compilation time. It can sometimes take overnight to compile a simple application if there's a lot of nested looping, only to have it run out of gates. This can be a royal pain.

I'd expect most HPC scenarios would have lots of nested looping, and probably memory accesses, and thus have to spend a lot of time writing state machines to get around gate count limitations and wait for memory responses, at which point you're basically designing a 200 MHz CPU.

So I don't see it as being very useful for general purpose acceleration, but could be a good CPU offload for some very specific use cases that are more bit-banging than computing. Azure accelerates all its networking via FPGA, which seems like the ideal use case.
It strikes me as nonproductive to call it "stupidity" or debate whether there's a precise equality. Both halves of the country have made it clear, in word and in action, that they think some causes are worth spreading the pandemic.

Come on. This disingenuous argument is exactly why Yoho flipped out at AOC earlier this week.

Bending reality to fit one’s political worldview.
Note however that one way to make a society appear to be less politically polarized is to silence the voice of groups who are not being served well by the current political status quo. When voices fighting for representation and fairness and equality are amplified, and supporters of the status quo resist (which they nearly always do), that will necessarily increase the apparent polarization, but I don't think that's a bad thing, and I certainly don't think it's worse than those voices remaining silenced.

I wonder if perhaps they are sitting on data showing that no individual page of any book was ever being viewed by more than one person at a time, and therefore they were still effectively just redistributing the physical book pages they already owned.

If so, their legal basis looks much much stronger.
> "The scale idea has been floating around within the company since 2015/2016."

So much this.

As a former startup founder now acquired into a Top 10 valley tech company, few people understand just how many nascent projects, features and ideas a huge, successful tech company has in development. At least for our active product domains, I never saw a feature from a competitive product that we didn't already have on a list and usually in development somewhere.

When I first started, I would sometimes see a "neato" new feature publicly demoed in some competing product and bring it to the relevant PM's attention, only to be sent back a two-year-old internal video of a similar feature already working and either queued for shipping, dropped in market testing due to weak response or deferred to the "next version" queue due to resource prioritization.
The racist label is tossed around so frivolously these days, like Nazi, to become practically meaningless except to intimidate people into silence.

The truth is that strong liberals have become extremely aggressive in intimidating and shaming anyone who disagrees with them in the modern era. And it's disturbing and completely corrosive, toxic and destructive.

I believe the U.S. needs its right brain and left brain to openly discuss and debate issues because neither side has a monopoly on morality or correctness.

I think if someone anyone who buys a 32+ Billion dollar company would want to get returns from it, so surely they won't stop investing. The problem really is if it is someone like NVIDIA then they have this rent seeking behaviour. Which almost everyone is trying to run away from. For instance In the cloud NVIDIA shuns the usage of its commodity GPU's through the use of EULA and force you to buy there expensive and overpriced Cloud GPU solution. This kind of behaviour effectively puts NVIDIA in the category of Ransomware. So I am only concerned that Nvidia doesn't buy it. Anyone else is fine.
You're going to have to make a convincing case to me why I shouldn't correlate ideas and phrases.
That argument seems to prove too much? It's sort of an Efficient Market Hypothesis for government regulation, and it would apply just as much to e.g. FTC and DoJ with respect to anti-trust violations as to Congress (as thread parent would like) or DoJ or whomever with respect to fraud or illegal wiretapping. Maybe it would be better investigated by a class-action plaintiffs' attorney, but even the mightiest firms might hesitate to wage the discovery battle that would be required against such deep pockets.
I respect this effort, I think it's a great accomplishment.

I think most people are better off building their own home (lab) server with a motherboard that supports IPMI (KVM over IP) natively.

Supermicro (only brand I've experience with) or other brands that build server motherboards all include IPMI with HTML5 support.

Doing so will save you a lot of trouble. Maybe you may not be able to run the kind of hardware you want, but it's all a tradeoff. You have to choose.

I have HP Microservers (quiet) and a Proliant (loud) all with ILo (HP IMPI) and it's awesome.
I've seen the same trend in other recent fonts designed for programming, like JetBrains Mono, with the idea that "more height" on lowercase letters improves legibility at small font sizes. I'm in agreement with your distaste, mostly because I work on high-DPI displays where legibility is not necessarily an issue and fonts that do this look like a "blob" of text.
the saddest thing is while us Plebs persecute each other over which wrestler we like, the real power structure running America remains invisible and unchallenged.

neither Biden or Trump have as much power as our Media Overlords have fooled us into believing. The President is largely the head cheerleader of Team America. they can tweet, they can give a speech, but they cannot control the Deep State one iota. Back in 2009, I remember Obama said one of the most insightful things Ive heard any President say. He said the FedGov is like a ship and all he can do is turn the rudder to aim us in a given direction, but we wont arrive for 10 or 20 years.

I remember when people said brick and mortar music stores would be fine because people cared so much about the human experience of going into a physical space devoted to music and interacting with a knowledgeable, passionate employee.

Humans thrive on real in-person contact, but you wouldn't know it if you looked at how we acted.
I would strongly support firing my company's CEO if they donated to Trump. And I would not have said that about Romney or McCain.

The problem is not "a political candidate" or even "a highly conservative and deeply capitalistic candidate." The problem is that Trump is a fascist, a vicious racist, and the most corrupt president in American history. Supporting Trump doesn't speak to a difference in political philosophy: it's a fundamental deficit in character.

How could anyone really say that a CEO who donated to Trump is also a CEO committed to a workplace free of bigotry and discrimination? Frankly, the same argument applies to any employee with hiring/firing responsibilities: they should be ashamed for supporting Trump and carry that black mark with them for the rest of their professional lives.
The counter to this though, is that the time when things weren't politicized was essentially when minority groups didn't have political, eoconomic, cultural power.

There is no new split into two Americas, there was always a split- between those who had political, cultural and economic power, and those that don't. The only difference now is that the people who are in the group with power aren't exclusively rich, white, conservative men.

We can go back, we can stop black people from getting loans and decent jobs, we can make all our women secretaries again, and I'm sure that will solve all our political ills.
So even if someone is a literal neo-Nazi who supports killing all the Jews, imprisoning gay people, and enslaving black people, donating to such a person's candidacy isn't disqualifying in terms of the basic character one might expect (or at least hope for) of someone leading a company?

I don't see how an endorsement of a vile racist couldn't be seen as disqualifying for positions of authority.
> Probably this expense should be covered by unemployment insurance or something similar.

A better solution is to stop deductions for employer-sponsored healthcare and shift the expense from the employer to the employee with a mandate that old employer health insurance premiums be passed on to employees as wages.

That deduction is the largest lever when it comes to the cost of health insurance (short of bad IP policy and regulation of pharma products).
People tend to choose silence not from indifference, but as a form of self-preservation. So it makes sense to me that you would want to do this, but it is absolutely not a neutral position.
I'll use the opportunity to ask for a KVM switch help here if that's not breaking the board's rules (and I feel it's related to the topic):

I got a company laptop recently and bought an Aten CS782DP KVM switch so I can reuse my gaming PC's monitor on it (using DisplayPort 1.4 cables). But when using my gaming PC the display now flickers very often when gaming and it's driving me crazy. Some people said it's the length of the DP 1.4 cables (they are very short though, <1m), some even say gas spring chairs introduce signal disturbance (wtf?), others say make sure the DP 1.4 cables don't touch any other cables.

In any case: would a KVM switch like the one in the post help? I suspected NVIDIA's G-Sync but turning it off for several days made no difference. :(

For the record, the display runs at 144Hz in both Win10 and Ubuntu. But it only flickers in Win10. The only thing that comes to mind is that the miniDP-to-DP cable that runs from my PC's videocard to the KVM switch is no good -- but not sure. I sadly can't use the KVM switch's DP-to-DP cable because my videocard only has miniDP on its rear.

Anybody had similar struggles in the past?

That is such a low life mentality. Not to give two screens worth $200 to someone who's probably making 10-20 times that a month.

I think there's two separate issues. Firstly they really ought to have been able to anticipate the need for more precise layout tooling by late 1996. Sure, the web was a much more flexible looking place, but grids for high profile commercial sites like AOL and Space Jam already existed, and it's not like they didn't have decades of print layouts to learn from.

Secondly, the later 'thou shalt not use tables' edict from the sort of people who actually joined the relevant W3C committees came after a few years of ubiquitous table use due to the limitations of CSS, but more importantly several years before Flexbox and Grid were even draft specs [other unsuccessful drafts existed]. People used tables because CSS wasn't good at the sort of layout they wanted to achieve, and in response W3C members... told them that tables were evil to screenreaders and they should suck it up and use hacks for at least the next decade

Arguably floats weren't well designed anyway (floating an image inside a box was all kinds of trouble except in IE which disregarded the spec's insistence it was supposed to overhang the bottom) but there was already a case for a proper grid and even that's comparatively minor compared with the 13 year gap before the draft spec for the next gen layout syntax.

Exactly - I'm lucky in that I made a deliberate decision to have a slightly longer commute because it meant a bigger house and closer to an amazing school my children attend. I'm fortunate to have a proper office that I can enter at the start of the work day, and leave at the end - separating my work and home life.

Having to work from your lounge, or kitchen, or worse bedroom makes it much harder to switch off.
It will, because people will buy farther out. One of the major drivers of the urban core, density and transit was how bad traffic can be. You want to live closer to work, which is usually downtown. Now you want pretty much live on the outskirts or the sticks. Without the commute, nothing stopping cities from becoming extremely diffuse.
Centrists tend to be more pragmatic and prefer approaches that work, while those on the left and right are more ideological, and wish to conform the world to their ideas, regardless of the cost or feasibility. And anyone who disagrees is treated as a heretic, as if one side has the truth concerning the messy complexity of social reality.
But that's my point - Facebook has a massive brand problem right now, and this would just be throwing more gas into the fire.
The contact tracing in US is non-existant. My town has tracers but they dont seem to do much. Our neighbour was positive but wasn't even asked where she went.

BTW has any country with good contact tracing posted any details about where most people get infected? I can't believe we're 6 months into this and still don't know if grocery shopping is risky or not. In the US I read all the updates but still dont know who is getting infected or where.
So, "silence is complicity"? That's pretty accusatory and offputting.

But of course this debate has been going on a long time. And maybe yours are the more recent words echoing a past hero's opinion.

In the words of MLK:

"First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection...."

I suppose it depends on whether you see current ills of society as at the level of segregation and outright violence against peoples (and need street-level action and peaceful revolution immediately), or more subtle things that affect everyone, like rich-vs-poor class differences growing (and are things to be solved through our deliberative political process).

But back to the point, the problem with shouting down anyone who doesn't agree with you and/or labeling people who are not 100% on board with you as the hidden "enemy", is that you will later find out you weren't winning as much as you thought based on the silence. And some of that silent segment will find they can only express themselves when standing alone, safe in the voting booth, and you get a result like we have had for the last couple years. Worse, those that could've joined your side are put off by the aggression and withhold their vote for you.

Why? If someone knows I'm running TOR, I guess that's not great, but I don't really see the issue.
I tried Mastodon a couple times. But the lack of search (can only search hashtags) made it hard to find people/discussions.

I use Twitter to follow some publisher/anime bloggers, and there's none on any federated network, at least not anyone relevant.

And people on my Twitter are more chill than the ones I met on Mastodon (and mainly the ones that used Pleroma). I remember 2 times I had problems there:

One was when I mentioned something about Windows, like, just said that I used it, so a few people started offending me (not mocking or joking).

Another time, I posted a picture when I was watching anime on the TV. Someone asked how I took screenshots from the episodes. I said that I just had a script that downloaded from Reddit. The person got furious because 'I was leeching from the community and not contributing'.

So, I dumped the fediverse and I got back on Twitter where, in 10 years, I don't remember something like that ever happening.
> Not true. “The Earth revolves around the sun” is not a political statement. “Climate change is real, and is caused by humans”, however is equally true but for some (really bad) reasons, it is a political statement.

I disagree. Those are both political statements for precisely the same reason. You're just very unlikely to find people with political power or influence disagreeing with the first statement (although that wasn't true in the past!).
I think there needs to be a distinction between political ideas and political ideologies. Especially in the United States, where there's an obsession between the GOP and the DCCC, even though neither political party represents a majority.

When you ask respondents on political ideas, like voting rights, immigration, state welfare, infrastructure, etc, a much broader and more moderate viewpoint emerges.

Also there seems to be a more growing disconnect between people in power and the masses. I think as data science becomes a more developed craft, more people will become aware about the motivations of our political actors. Sensationalism and political correctness are usually signs of a deeper problem---
