You can live in a 1200 square foot home as long as you have access to outdoor spaces and a third place down the block. I live in an 1100 square foot post-war home with my fiance and it's plenty of space for what we want to do with our lives. Other homes in the neighborhood are much larger but don't have a back yard or trees on the lot. So we're basically in this beautiful thoughtfully-built 40's era home surrounded by cedar trees, while our neighbors are these huge ugly 2-story houses rammed right up to the back edge of their lots with no yard.

You do have to get creative with second bedrooms by installing Murphy beds or otherwise reducing furniture size and floor space. Modern furniture is way too big to fit in the rooms of a post-war house. A stacking washer/dryer is very useful. Basically anything that substitutes vertical space for horizontal space will help immensely. Ikea has stuff that's size-appropriate but very cheap.

The reason most houses are 2500 square feet nowadays is because you have to maintain a space for all the things you want to do inside your house. Whereas if you share space with your community for those things that many people do then you don't have to maintain a separate space for it.

First of all, there's a really good chance you have the causation wrong. Some city gets really popular, people want to move there, density increases some pittance, and boom, increasing density just caused a massive spike in prices.

And second, today's luxury condo will almost always become tomorrow's "affordable" housing. Developers build something new and shiny matching all the trends, get their money and leave. When whatever style of countertop they are building now goes out of fashion, that place will be nice and cheap.

And lastly, even if that didn't happen, moving someone out of somewhere and into a "luxury" condo, still opens up the housing below. Even if it's someone new moving to town, they are still moving into the new condo, not fighting for the existing stock.

Is this actually true when taking into consideration the current production process of EVs? Certainly operationally EVs are less polluting, but I'm not sure where things are at considering the entire pipeline. (I'm not intending to bash EVs at all here, I have a PHEV myself and I'd love to get a BEV when the range/cost suits my needs.)
I really wish people would stop with accepting lower range BEVs. To truly replace petrol vehicles we should not compromise or suggest drivers do so. Hence hit the three hundred mile mark and go from there with luxury and higher priced models pushing far beyond those numbers; as in 500+

People need to remember, the range is best case range and full charge. This is subject to driving conditions and especially the effect of weather. Lower pack sizes do not charge nearly as quick and this too will hinder acceptance as some will see charge times as a detriment. Wide spread acceptance means more people with a BEV and no home to charge at which means charge times are a real concern

So, don't let manufacturers off the hook. Telsa set a bar for range in 2013 that most are barely crossing in range and upped it with the TM3 and TMY. Mercedes and BMW both have offerings coming in with more than 300 miles range. Let us count this low 200 club as we did the sub 100 range, a good first EV for the manufacturer but not what is expected from true BEVs; remember many of the sub 300 club were petrol platforms adapted to electric.

Almost all of the research on sonic booms and their effect on residential noise levels was done in the 1950s.

Our knowledge of transonic aerodynamics and aircraft design have improved considerably sense then and much of the "common" knowledge that sonic booms will shatter windows and disrupt everyday life as a plane flies overhead at cruising altitude are very much outdated.
I'm of two minds about this - on one hand, we don't want shoe-shine boys losing their savings on a bad investment. On the other, if my friends and I want to pool our money to make an investment I resent being kept out of that sort of thing. Things like opening it to VC fund analysts make a ton of sense.
>I say... who cares.

That's fine, of course you're not obligated to like or admire anything in particular.

Generally, if I don't see value in something a large number of people do, it causes me to reflect a little to try to figure out what I'm missing. And indeed, frequently I find I don't care (pick any pop star of the last few decades, for instance).

But sometimes it opens up a whole world I've been missing.
I think the point they are trying to make is that you are also at risk if Apple decides to pick a war with you.

The rules are not some crystal clear logical function that you can be sure that you stay inside of. They are vague, selectively enforced and can change any any time. So at the end of the day if Apple decides that they don't like you they pick a vague rule, claim that you violate it and poof! you lost a war you didn't know that you were fighting.
The jury wouldn’t see it if it got dismissed, typically by a Motion in Limine. Opposing counsel also gets to object to evidence before it’s shown to the jury during trial. If the trial judge allowed it and, on appeal, the appellate court decided it shouldn’t have been shown to the jury, there would be a new trial.
Huh. I'd love to know where you're getting that idea from.

Through a strange series of events (extreme sports hobbies) I became friends with a group of doctors, none of them participating in anything very special or that could be seen as a career height. Most really just starting out after the hell that is med school.

They spoke of pretty regular outreach of gifts from pharma. Mainly in the form of fancy retreats (like to Hawaii - note, we were based in SoCal at the time) with pretty extravagant dinners and fancy boating stuff. These were, according to them, always filled with the brim with others like them to the point it got to be quite frankly boring, annoying, and a nuisance. No matter how hard they tried to ignore the unsolicited outreach, it wouldn't stop coming.

Just some anecdata tho.

We have plenty of distribution infrastructure that moves that much energy during the day to big industrial facilities. A lot EV charging would help "fill in the bathtub" where night-time demand for energy hugely drops in demand graphs. EVs also add other possibilities for smoothing the energy demand curve in vehicle-to-grid "smart grid" capabilities that would let (known) dormant vehicles contribute back to the grid during high demand periods as a new and somewhat uniquely new distributed mobile storage infrastructure.

They absolutely do have standing. 15 U.S.C. §15 allows for injured parties of anti-trust violation to sue for treble damages. This is separate to and beyond any criminal charges the DOJ can bring.

If courts determine that Apples behavior violates anti-trust laws, it is unlikely that they would find that Epic was not an injured party.
Based on the positive responses here, I think I might be the only one who doesn't fancy decorations, whether it's sci-fi or in any form in user interface design - victorian ornamentation, steampunk brass, vaporware aesthetics, etc - they're all artistic endeavors - I think it's fun to explore these and even use them to achieve a particular objective, but I wonder how much of it influences serious designers whose responsibility is to produce functional, objective, straight forward UI that gets the job done. For example, SpaceX cockpit design and the amount of sci-fi influence with touchscreens vs. say F-15 Cockpit (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23702560) which I personally consider as the epitome of interface design. Not directly comparing them, but comparing the underlying philosophy and approach towards UI.

It's not to say that aesthetics itself is a problem, IMO when aesthetics emerge automatically from solving a problem (F-15 philosophy) is far more beautiful, appealing and pleasing, than aesthetics that is forced by the designer's personal taste and then trying to solve the UI problems within that framework (biting on SpaceX again).

Amazing work nevertheless in terms of its artistic appeal.

Trust is based on shared information, therefore access to backdoors is reality of what’s at stake. This spectacle to inform the targeted populace on this one is just modern rallying around the flag.

> You’re trying to define “data scientist” as someone who only knows how to use notebooks

I'm not the other person, and that is definitely not what I'm saying. There can be overlap, but the distinction is important: Data scientists use tools for analysis, ML engineers are capable of building those tools.

For example, the tool I'm aware of that some of our data scientists use is SPSS - but they have no programming experience, and could not remotely be grouped in with "ML engineers".
It's very similar to the UI from the game Frozen Synapse.
And in particular, the protagonist of that short story who is so happy he lives in his grim and grotty but real cyberpunk future, instead of the sterile, facile utopia imagined by the retro-futurism aesthetic.

It's an interesting idea! You can learn a lot about a decade by studying what they thought their future would look like. And in the 90s we were definitely thinking it would involve neon translucency.
No disagreement that less delta-V is needed for big rocks far out in their orbit, so early detection is cheaper.

... but in terms of whether stopping is possible, I believe that depends on the amount of kinetic energy you can apply to it. I'd have to sit down and do some real math to determine the practical stopping power of a kill fleet, but to give a thumbnail comparison: each Starlink sat is about 500 lbs, which is about the weight of one B57 nuclear bomb, with a yield of 5-20kt. There are about 660 Starlinks in orbit now... A constellation of kill vehicles of the same size could have the ability to deliver an upper-bound of 13.2 megatons of explosive energy. According to one source (https://www.space.com/39971-asteroid-destruction-nuclear-bom...), 3 megatons should be sufficient (though the parameters for individual delivery of smaller payloads vs. one big nuke would of course be different).

This is, of course, all a terrible idea; nobody's gonna be comfortable with a mega-constellation of nukes in orbit.

It's been widely recognized that the majority of piracy is committed by people who would not spend the money on the item anyway, or in cases where it is actually difficult to buy the item.

There's a reason cheap & easy access to media (streaming) has reduced piracy.

People are willing to pay for something if it has value, is offered at a reasonable price and is easy to purchase and own.

You mention elsewhere in the thread you like to think about code.

- what do you make?

- I associate computing with “urban” and “industrialised”; like ... I assume we need the economics of The City (and to a degree its infrastructure) in order to build and run computers. I’m fine with the use of computers in “earthy” locations like farms and cafes, but their construction and typical use seems “urban”. If you’re still with me and this hippy way of talking, what does it feel like to work with computing whilst living unbound from The City?

Well, I don't think the Foundation would need to transfer 245k to the Corporation. From what I understand, the Google search deal was done with the Corporation. So the cash transfer is rather Corp -> Found. Instead, it would be enough for the Foundation to give the Corporation a better deal on their various trademarks.

This is published in their financial statement for 2018 [0]. I'm not an accountant nor am I familiar with US Tax law, but from what I understand they received $6M in donations (contributions line) and spent $33M on "programs" (other than software development, which gets its own line). So the difference must have come from somewhere.

Apparently the various trademarks are owned by the Foundation. The Corp has to pay royalties to use them. It's not clear how much, but I don't see why the Foundation wouldn't be allowed to set its own rate and / or give discounts. Internal cash flows are omitted from the consolidated report, though.

What I gather from this is that basically the Foundation is getting most of its money from the Corporation. The Corp. being mainly concerned with Firefox, it could be argued that the Foundation gets money thanks to Firefox.

I can see how people who want to support the browser may take an issue with the Foundation's other, non browser-related activities. Especially when it's clear that they do so to the detriment of the browser (by firing people in order to focus on other pursuits).

Have they actually solved the (non-noise) environmental concerns of SST? From a NYT article a few years ago:

"According to a 1999 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, introducing 1,000 commercial SSTs more advanced than the Concorde could make the climate impact of airlines balloon by 40 percent by midcentury. That’s on top of the tripling of emissions already expected as more travelers take to the sky."

Doctors as a group are not that dissimilar to police unions in that their primary function is to actually shield doctors from responsibility or accountability.
