I think that far and away the biggest cost for housing in the West is money. Yes, interest rates are at all time lows. But that means loan amounts have skyrocketed in comparison to incomes. That has impacts across the economy.

Saying it is a values/morality problem means you are giving up on solving the problem.
When I was still in school, all the homeschooled kids I met were incredibly weird and I thought the same thing. Then later I had a friend whose little sister was homeschooled and they did it right.

She was a part of some homeschooling group where the kids would get together frequently and the parents would takes turns leading different activities, often leveraging different parents' professions or special expertise. She was both well-socialized and had much more deep and engaging experiences than you can get in school.

Though you still end up with the problem of when and how to rejoin the normal world since you're so far ahead.

There is gross waste at every layer. The AMA artificially keeps doctors' earnings higher than they would be in a system that could respond to demand.
School is already horribly expensive, both in per student costs and in property values in successful school districts. The irony is all that money being thrown around doesn't end up paying for qualified STEM faculty.

As for funding religious schools, that's part of civil life. Others will object to funding atheism or critical race theory. Should we (forever) fight it out politically or should we find ways to disagree in the spirit of compromise?
Physician income and drug prices are entirely unrelated, except for the oncologists whose salary derives from reselling onco drugs.

That you think they are somehow related strongly undermines the rest of your post, as it suggests you are very weakly acquainted with the details of our healthcare system.
It's not like a finished area was so much easier to modify in the past. Plaster and lathe walls tend to have a much smaller cavity than drywall, in the same cross-section. Plaster keys take up a good amount of the space.

What I find interesting is how there used to be pre-measured kits for constructing houses, so in that respect we've gone backwards.
You know why?

Because damn rules.

In good old times if a student told teacher to fuck off a teacher would've given a student a cuff on the nape and the conflict would've been resolved.

These days? Nope. You're not allowed to touch children. You're not allowed to yell at children. You can call parents at school and have another "he didn't do nothing" conversation.

So what you do? You introduce zero tolerance rules. You call the police. You turn school into prison where the same set of extremely strict rules is applied to each and every student.

And all of that could have been prevented by just one gentle slap!
Sleep is a generic term. In this context of an arduino the sleep term is perfectly applicable. On a bigger processor with pipelining/memorycontroller/tlbs I'd agree with you.
I'm not saying that things are pretty much fine. Climate change is a real problem. It is a global problem. I can't think of a reason to believe that prevention is a strategy that will work. Adaption on the other hand is likely to be the better option.
Families with kids at charter schools choose to put their kids there. Kids left in bad public schools may have less parent support. So there may be some selection bias involved that can't be overcome with any amount of money.

The pity is that public schools are now the backstop for real social services that have already failed. Much like police being used to combat drug addiction and mental illness. It's a burden/cost that private schools don't have to deal with.

The solution isn't to go all-in on private or charter schools. It's to get real social programs back up and running so that public schools can just be schools.
Here’s something that I don’t understand: Why isn’t there more interest in compiling the Windows Embedded 7 source code that was included in the same leak? It seems like that would have a much more recent kernel and have fewer dependencies on missing components.
Not all, perhaps, but more than you might think. If you want to see for yourself, go on Zillow and check out prices for empty lots vs. nearby lots with houses on them in different areas. When I just did that, the price ratio seemed remarkably stable anywhere near even low-demand cities. You have to get pretty far out in the sticks before it falls apart, and almost by definition that's a low percentage of homes.
So you, I, all the HN commenters, and the author, all had the same probability of making $100,000 from iOS icons last week? Was it just a random roll of the dice? I guess we were just unlucky then. Fingers crossed for next week.

To say "it is really just luck" is honestly just ridiculous. Our probability was 0%. His probability was significantly higher, due to the previous work and decisions he has made. That's not "just luck".

There is no such thing as a deterministic, risk-free business strategy. You can only make bets, try to maximise your odds, and repeat. That's what the author is doing. I knew nothing about him before today, but I can see his business ethos. He's doing a good job, and the market is validating that with their wallets.

A lot of us Fossil users host it on $5 VPSes. It's written in C atop SQLite, so the network is almost always the bottleneck, not the server-side processing speed.

sqlite.org and all of the other repos D. Richard Hipp maintains (Fossil, Pikchr, the separate SQLite docs repo, the forums for Fossil and SQLite...) all run on a $40/month VPS. The page generation time is calculated and displayed at the bottom of non-static pages like this one: https://sqlite.org/src/
I feel like this could lead to massive wait times, as people stop dropping out of the queue. If I have a problem that isn't urgent, normally I would hang up after waiting for a while, but with this you don't have any reason to so peak wait times could go up a lot.
As opposed to having the school do it? To their belief system that maybe isn’t “religion” but is still based on a certain type of faith and moral opinion. Public schools are littered with teaching kids _what_ to think, not _how_ to think.

I get your point and in particular I understand Germany’s caution. But what is wrong with a parent teaching their child their morality through religion? Why is having the state control this less dangerous? Why is religion bad?

The solution is to build dense housing (min. 20 story towers) with mixed commercial in the lower levels on cheap land (<1/100th the cost of city land) within 50 miles of cities and then run Boring Company tunnels to your new town at a cost of $1mil/mile. Commute time of 10-25mins. Total cost is roughly $1.8bil for a town of 30,000. Each of the condos goes for $150k. That's 12% of the price of a condo in San Francisco. Also could build down underground 10-15 stories. Unsolved problem is low-cost infrastructure (water, sewage, power). Whatever couldn't be built on site could be piped in through through additional tunnels.

This would completely change housing prices in cities. If SF has around 700k residents and say another 700k people who want to live here or commute in each week, it would take 23 of these towns to accommodate demand: $46bil investment that would probably payout 25% within 5 years of construction start with all units sold, commercial leasing, naming rights, etc. (Large assumption is people would want to live in these towns). San Francisco housing prices would probably drop at least 25% in 5 years.

Just like Matatu's of Kenya (http://infinitedictionary.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/0...) each town would be known for its thing: TownA is known for its Opera House, TownB is known for its Basketball Team, TownC is known for its amazing Foodie Scene, etc.

A successful 'Town' model could even be franchised like Burger King, repeated all over the USA or World within 50 miles of existing major cities. If you were the owner of a successful franchise, and optimized your margins (solving the electricity problem with solar panels or a cheap nuclear micro reactor), you could have 200% returns on each $1.5bil project. Even a couple of towns completing each year could be worth billions. And they would probably be less complicated to build than the average Tesla Terafactory, once the first few had been built.
You have to give your phone number, which is worse.
The data seems to be a data set of 74 homeschoolers. Not super compelling.

And yes I agree that being able to homeschool your kids is definitely a privilege, unfortunately.

Maybe we can at least meet half way and say that homeschooling absolutely doesn't create these mythical, supposedly antisocial weirdos then, and it is completely possible to have healthy well functioning homeschoolers.
This is an interesting theory to play around with. If you look at the regional revenues listed on Bayer's site[0] North America accounts for €15.1 billion of revenue, while Europe/Middle East/Africa accounts for only €13.2 billion and Asia/Pacific €8.6 billion. That is quite the gap which could be caused by high US prices, but it warrants a look into the industry's financials.

There is an incredible portion of the planet that is not habitable for most of the year. The majority of land on Earth is north of the equator, and very much of it is just flat out impossible to thrive in year round. Global warming will probably be a net benefit in this respect.

As far as agriculture is concerned, the IPCC says that rising temperatures will be good for farming (within a certain limit, 2-3c I believe). Carbon after all is an input to photosynthesis.
It's not actually circular. Think of the analog example of "exploring time-space of physical reality (physics)" by the means of modern mathematics:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_transformation

So the general idea (haven't read OP yet) would be to map problems in information theory to geometric constructs, and use the machinery of modern geometry to explore that domain.

This is for example using algebraic topology to applications in concurrent processing:

What we have right now is partially privatized schooling with a public back-up. The private schools don't have to deal with the problem of capacity in general, and in the geographic distribution of capacity in particular. They don't have to provide capacity for special needs kids.

You can choose a prime location to build a private school for 100 kids, and be reasonably assured that it will be filled with 100 kids. If not, it shuts down and the kids go elsewhere or back to the public schools. This happens sometimes.

And while the training of teachers is certainly a worthy matter of debate, the hiring of teachers by public schools is coupled with a standardization of teacher training and a guarantee of reasonable wages thanks to the union.

I predict where it ends is a small number of companies form an oligopoly of private school operators that are perpetually bailed out by the government. I also predict the emergence of local or even regional "school deserts" where families have no school options.

Japan has the 2nd highest drug prices globally. It's actually a very significant market for that reason.

And in terms of drug prices in Western Europe, it really depends. One example, orphan drugs for rare diseases, the prices are actually pretty comparable to the US. These are the drugs that are several hundred thousand dollars per year.

A good example is Glybera, a gene therapy never approved in the US. The price in Germany was ~$1M USD.

No, I just found out about Pliant from your post - but it doesn't make sense for developing large, stable codebases because it's not a standard language. (Sorry Pliant developers - I love your can-do attitude and I'd love to buy you a beer or a coffee sometime and talk about Sisyphean task management.) But Pliant is a reference implementation of a custom language. Programming language design is really, really hard - I wouldn't dare try and so I chose to go with a language that had literally hundreds of person years of design and testing underpinning it.
Regarding FFI's - my approach is the same as the very clever pybind11, luabind and the older boost::python libraries. It works by using C++ template programming and letting the C++ compiler do the heavy lifting of generating wrappers at compile time. I recently updated our binding library to use C++17 std::apply with tuples. Freakin' finally! C++ has an apply construct that can be applied to a heterogenous list of objects - wow - lisp has only had it for 50 years! My point is that only recently has C++ developed the introspective capabilities to implement really powerful FFI's. Also - you have to use C++ exception handling for stack unwinding or you will break C++ RAII all the time.
The other incentive being the general ed students get a better education.

I'm not saying public schools are the non plus ultra, I'm just saying that they are a good way to meet people from different backgrounds early on.

Also, I didn't have the impression all of my teachers were very "pro government". They were a very diverse bunch politically speaking.
Their concept of "visit" hinges on seeing the Referer for the original request.
Paying more for unique houses could be a rational strategy.

Unique houses have higher resale value compared to tract houses because there is more market differentiation. Try selling a condo. It's hard to ask more if two or three other identical condos in the building are also for sale. Then try to sell a single family house in a neighborhood with diverse housing. You can charge more because you might find the buyer who really loves whatever is particular about the house.

So if you pay more and sell for more it's all a wash. Unless of course the house price is so high that a down payment is unattainable. I would call that a market failure in most cases (Manhattan is an exception). Such a failure is probably symptomatic of political intervention in the market, usually in the form of restrictive zoning and development practices.

By all means we should try to standardize and automate home construction. But uniqueness has value to many.
Sure, but the "self-made" claim is entirely laughable in this case.
You just described an (plausivly) emergent formulation of a motte-and-bailey. Very interesting.

As a student of Information Geometry, let me provide some context why this is such an exciting field. Usually geometry reminds someone of triangle and other shapes that we see in our immediate surroundings, which is called as Euclidean or just flat geometry i. e a space where Euclid's axioms are valid. But there is a lot more to the story, we can bend/reformulate or even exclude certain axioms to conjure up new spaces - such as hyperbolic geometry or in general some complex curved geometry. Turns out, these indeed have wide applications in our real world.

Now what's all this gotta do with Information? Usually, information is represented in terms of statistical distributions, from Shannon's information theory. What the early founders of IG observed is that, these statistical distributions can be represented as points on some curved space called a Statistical Manifold. Now, all the terms used in information theory can be reinterpreted in terms of geometry.

So, why is it so exciting? Well in Deep Learning people predominantly work statistical distributions, some even without realising it. All our optimizations involve reducing distance between some statistical distributions like the distribution of of the data and the distribution that the neural network is trying to model. Turns out, such optimization when done in the space of statistical manifold, amounts to the gradient descent that we all know and love. All the gradient based optimisations are only approximations to the local geometry like gradient(local slope) , Hessian(local quadratic approximation of curvature), but optimisation in the statistical manifold can yield the exact curvature and thus are more efficient. This method is called Natural Gradient.

Hope this helps.

Perhaps, but Finland and Norway only took about 50 days to reach steady state on deaths per capita while it took about 120 days for Sweden.

The current data suggests that Sweden did not do better than Finland or Norway unless one of those two countries has a sudden spike that Sweden does not have. Anybody crowing "Sweden did better" needs to present some evidence that Finland and Norway are going to get some spike in the future that Sweden will not--and currently Finland and Norway have about 150 days (and increasing) of evidence to the contrary.

> sortable (time component)

You can easily prepend a unix millisecond timestamp to a UUID if you want time-sortability, i.e.

174e1da9377-d739f4ed-6aa1-4c99-a0bf-3b0b68e9ce77

where 174e1da9377 is a unix timestamp in milliseconds.

> short (26 chars)

Short == increased possibility of a collision. If you're okay with this possibility, you can just use UUIDv4 and truncate it.

> and nearly human readable

Convert your UUID into base26 or whatever you wish for human readbility.

> and good enough entropy/randomness

Subjective, if you are okay with "good enough entropy" you could arguably just use a random string of the number of bits you'd like.

Users are asking for a configuration option to behave the way every other terminal works, and the way everyone writing software that runs in terminals that relies on any behavior relies on terminals behaving.
To me, that incident was one of the first times I really started thinking "Google really have gone evil". I know, I know... it's "just" a name of a programming language. I don't care: it's the principle of the thing. The name was taken, and the only correct thing for Google to do when he stepped forward, was to change the name. That they chose not to really tarnished their image in my eyes, and still does to this day.

It's a shame that the other guy wasn't in a position to / willing to / whatever, sue the pants off of Google at the time.
