Same in Indiana. But the proposed idea was to tax more heavily all unoccupied properties, not merely "all properties other than one's primary residence."
Nanopore is a different kind of instrument and absolute majority of cutting-edge protocols rely on Illumina chemistry. Just no way of escaping it if you're doing science.
As far as burning stuff goes, burning biogenic methane is about as good as it gets environmentally. It's a closed loop in carbon terms, and you're reducing GHG emissions by preventing unburnt methane being released into the atmosphere.
You know "Explorable Explanations" (https://explorabl.es/)? I'm surprised more work isn't going into tools to optimize ease of creation of that kind of thing. Imagine any grade school teacher could create something like this for their kids (or even let kids make them for themselves - something like Scratch). I think that (easy development of interactive explanations) would be an educational revolution.

I have seen this sentiment many times and I'm cannot understand why so many people is blind to the fact that this attitude creates serious systematic problems and is inhuman (because some abstract efficiency takes precedence over well-being).

> BTW, it seems that you have quite a nice success story there although the begging of it is quite familiar to many of us from Croatia. (low wage, s*ity bosses, shady working conditions)

It made me who I am today, and I'm very thankful; but I still have friends in Croatia and I understand the plight well, such that I do want to move back to Dalamatia but only on the basis that I have secured remote work as I refuse to ever work locally again. Croatia is lovely place to live provided you don't have to work there, or at least depend on it as you major source of income, that's for sure.

> Considering the region we are talking about, the thing that pops in my mind and falls in the super-high return category is the truffle. (and they are trying!)

It's funny, I ran a kitchen in Lovran overlooking the Adriatic before I worked in those farms/agrotourisms and used to buy black truffles at a discount since there were so many and most restaurants in the area were closed for the season by November especially if I didn't need them to be fresh to garnish/finish a dish: and were used soups, stocks, bases etc...

The thing about truffles is that it really depends on how well you can make them travel to get into the hands of chefs in as short of time as possible, but again after COVID the culinary Industry may never be the same. And I don't care who you are and what kitchen you came from but I can't think of a single professional chef/cook who would buy black truffles, let alone white, on a weekly/monthly basis for cooking at home so the lack of demand would vastly reduce the price even if it could be actively cultivated instead of foraged in the Forest as it is now.

Personally speaking, I'm not that big of a fan as the black ones always tasted like very good garlic to me, I never got to use white truffles as I missed the season and only made rissoto from the rice they use to carry them in which was good but not worth the price, in my opinion.

And truffle oil is an abomination.
Taxing unoccupied homes lower rents, obviously.

Also taxing income progressively discourages landlordism.

On top of that, taxing income in order to build public public housing lowers rents even more.
The actual membership of the communist party of China is 90 million. 1.6 billion are vassals to Soviet style satellites. Follow orders or be destroyed. They will kill a billion people without a second thought and then kill each other. Tyranny and authoritarianism is extremely brutal way of life. It sees people as a commodity, something to be ground up and made money out of as you saw in covid. Make a big list of your own people you want dead. Equip them with sticks, and death march them into starvation outside an enemy village. Then massacre that village. That's how tyrants fight.

Our fight concerns morals. Things like:

- Power is subject to the same law.

- Orders that demand perfection are not laws because power is imperfect.

- Instead of command economy, you must convince people and create the consumer demand first.

- Wealth does not concentrate and instead tends to accelerate bad habits.

- It's better to just walk away. Bad things are going to happen no matter what you do. Trying to control everything just makes it worse.
Kudos to them disclosing critical bugs to one of the largest companies on the planet for less than their developers get paid for a week of work.

Indium tin oxide is a byproduct of the zinc oxide refinement process so it's doesn't see sustainable/enough to go around which seems like graphene is a better choice.

It’s my opinion that moving your hands is ultimately good, especially when compared against contorting your hands to hit multiple modifier keys. Much like transitioning between sitting and standing regularly is good, because it means you’re not constantly static.

If the developer can get permission to build 3-5 story apartments on the lot, then their land suddenly becomes way more valuable than the single home ever was. Most retirees will gladly sell and live in luxury elsewhere. If a few don't, it won't make a difference.

I like using the layering with my Ergodox keyboard because it helps keep special characters I frequently use (parens, braces, brackets, etc) right under my fingers in a relaxes position. It alleviated a lot of finger strain I was feeling reaching for the keys (and reaching for shift especially) so frequently.

Though I do have a standard layout with the number/symbols row available as well.
How about mixed-cost buildings? Some higher-cost "luxury" units whose price/rent subsidizes the lower cost "essential" units, where firemen, teachers, local people can live.

> but the result is still everything I've said

No, the result is not “Republicans only have a shot if they don't compete with each other” (except to the extent it it is equally “Democrats only have a shot if they don't compete with each other”; it does disadvantage a party having support spread among many candidates vs concentrated on a smaller number, but there's nothing that makes that more true for one party that the other.) And no third party candidate ever had a chance before the blanket primary. (The blanket primary probably slightly improves this for the Green Party in certain Democratic-dominant districts, but only if Democratic support is highly concentated on a single candidate such as an in-party popular incumbent, but its still not much of a chance.) But, again, that's not new with the blanket primary; classic partisan primaries and FPTP voting were more than sufficient to make that generally the case just as it pretty much is everywhere in the country that uses those systems.

So the two things that make up “everything you said” are not the result of the system.
Right, but the potential surface area - basically all docs including private ones - is absolutely huge. Preventing this from happening even once it's worth more than 100k IMO.
I think the implication is that you also enhance the infrastructure to support these apartments. Note that the population of SF increases by about 20% during the workday due to commuters.
Political factors can also inform supply, it doesn’t change the fundamental calculus of supply and demand, merely shapes the supply.

If you have a bunch of left wing groups who are anti-development fighting to keep supply constrained even while complaining the rent is too damn high and the character of the City is changing and yadda yadda yadda, who are you[1], as a landlord, to take the wind out of their sails when you are profiting from their protests?

And probably more than adequate for the kinds of applications you'd use this in. Military technology needs to be state-of-the-art for ruggedness and reliability, not performance.

For a similar example, look at the CPUs used in space missions: based on performance specs alone, the best ones would have been state-of-the-art in the 90s.

Then they don't sell the kitchen per se, they're selling a very in-demand housing unit. People take it in spite of its kitchen, not because of its kitchen.

We have had and currently have A, B and C, we just don't "see it" because it has an aura of "Democracy" and "will of the people". If we truly had freedom, it would be part of society, every government, the UN and considered a fundamental Human Right for individual groups of people to voluntarily group together and decide to "leave" their state/nation/entity/vassal/government/faction, and form their own "monopoly of violence" within their geographic area.

But we don't have that. We belong and are forced under subjugation to our individual governments without any say in the matter other than "voting" and "community participation". We can dress it up any which way we want, but we're forced into a relationship by virtue of birth and we have no option to leave.
Well, here's the thing: pipes can be built. Big pipes can replace small pipes. Plant capacity can be upgraded. Shocking, I know, but it's true.
Myeah. I was aware that `WindowProxy.location` exists, but not that `WindowProxy.frames` exists. To me, that's the more surprising part - as `window.frames[0].location` should indeed be writable, but I feel like accessing `window.frames[0].frames` is more debatable - even knowing the number of iframes in a page might leak information in certain cases.

No? If you build new housing units it doesn’t matter if outsiders buy them. There will be more units to satisfy demand, both foreign and local.

And buying a unit to rent it does not change the housing supply. It is new people moving to a city that fills up supply. Is that what you meant by profitability: buying an apartment to rent? Every city has landlords.
> Execpt that you entered "[in the Switch]" from your own imagination and it's simply not there in my original comment.

I know it’s not there in your original comment, that’s why it was inside square brackets. That’s a standard way of including context in a quote that otherwise would lack said context. You would see that in news papers and other publications. This isn’t some weird markup I’ve just invented and it’s definitely not a figment of my imagination because the post you were replying to was about the Switch.

> Regarding pjmlp post, yes that's true, it wasn't clear (and still isn't) to me from his post, that he specifically speaks about the Switch when referring to "devices".

You’re right, it wasn’t explicit. My apologies there.
The fact that the media streaming space is so challenging is supremely frustrating to me.

Encoding/decoding aside as codecs are understandably challenging, end-to-end latency is basically a nightmare even at scale (I feel like I’ve tried every one-to-many video streaming apps starting with Periscope, and I have yet to see one with less than 15s latency from broadcaster to recipient)

As well, viewer sync seems to either be a “problem” no one wants to “solve”, or it’s in the realm of magic. Plex clients even report their playback position every second or less and yet the variation on the “watch together” feature is all over the place. We also now have PTP which feels like a perfect fit for “clock” synchronization, but I have yet to see a single streaming technology use it or anything close to it.
Why do we consider it normal that APIs are exposed for the implementation language of a project (library, interpreter, application, whatever) but usually not other languages?

Is there any evidence that the "user" of an API is likely to prefer the same language that was used for the original thing?

(BTW this does not seem to be the case for networked APIs such as REST services).

Previous discussion on the Foundation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24988454

Also relevant if you read through those comments, and the discussion they include on FP Complete's involvement, is Michael Snoyman's more recent statement: https://www.snoyman.com/blog/2020/12/haskell-foundation

I think Snoyman makes a few good points - namely, it remains to be seen exactly what the Foundation can and will do, and what input the community is going to have in that process. While the criticism that was once made of Facebook/IOHK/FPC applies here (namely, that a large enough force will trump Haskellers who invest in the community), the Foundation has all the power to be much worse. The academic side of the language still carries the most weight.
I don't know if that's the case. There are temperature ranges though, documented by Apple, in which you need to operate your devices. Can't really forbid selling devices in countries with the wrong climate, after all the buyer might be committed to only operate the devices within the documented ranges.

If the problem is developers making a bunch of apartments and releasing them slowly, wouldn't such a tax just mean they'd switch to a strategy of making them slowly to get the same effect?

Great on you! To complete the math, what was the "break" penalty and how much did your new rent save you? These economics are fascinating, SF is crazy.
> Judgements about status are embedded in almost everything aspect of the news. To read the news is to be insulted — which is why people are fleeing the mainstream media in droves.

Except that the people that are "fleeing the mainstream media" are going to media sources (on the right, and the left) that are even more judgmental, and even more insulting.

That pretty much annihilates his argument.
It's a supply and demand issue, just like in nursing. There are a lot of bio undergrads out there in the US, and as such the wages are depressed.

That said, with higher degrees comes higher wages. And with 'outsider' skill sets comes higher wages. Things like programming, EE, and management-skills will get you a better job in bio. Honestly, most bio people don't have anything past Calculus 1, so if you even have Linear Algebra, you're much ahead of the group, let alone Diff. Eqs. or some real Stats classes.

Granted, these salaries not near SWE jobs, but you're not working on dog-walking-apps, you're working on heart conditions and health issues. The effort, inherently, is compensation to those doing it.
Yeah, I am more of a logic guy :-) Also, maybe the Danish climate is too cold?

I'd like to see a tech'd out nursing home. Gaming is really a perfect fit for nursing homes, and it will only make more sense as our population ages.

Gigabit internet, house Slack, LAN parties, VR gear, zoom calls with family, rigs for new members... create house guilds. Set the tenants up with streaming setups and let them have fun.

I don't think the gear would be prohibitively expensive given the cost of nursing care.

Nursing homes don't have to feel like you are giving up on life. A tech'd out nursing home could be absolutely kick ass.

I kinda can't blame him, because it's common for people to paint a picture of homelessness as something that can easily happen to appealing, relatable people who are highly functional by middle class standards. I hate it, because it reminds me of how conditional empathy is. Empathy is a skill, and like any other skill, it's developed through practice, and we mostly practice on people just like us. So people advocating for support for the homeless have to make them sound like they'd fit right in with the people who have the money and power to help them.

The roads are the tougher part. But there's mass transit - not everyone needs to own or drive a car.
I can imagine the unit remaining empty for months and then re-renting for $600-$1000 less.

I would be on the hook for the empty months as well as the difference between the current rent I'm paying and the rent the new tenant is paying.

So, no, I can't really just "break the lease" and I can't imagine why they would reduce my rent.
> You have to continually test people's skis for fluoro-doping.

Why not just only test the winner of every competition? As soon as winner crosses finish line, confiscate skis for testing. Negative = win, positive = disqualified. Ah, but then I suppose you have to test 2nd place's skis to see if they deserved to be bumped to first in the case of DQ... and this process has O(n) worst case where you would have to test literally every competitor's skis to find a winner...

I suppose you could just say "if you are in top 3 and you cheated, you are disqualified for life and nobody gets that medal" and then just let the communities sort it out.

And was usually on just before or after Mr. Roger's Neighborhood which was set in a small town or suburban neighborhood.
Moving away from car-friendliness will do so much more for density and walk-ability than doing away with ADA compliance, by easily a factor of 1000. I built a house which is largely ADA compliant, and lost maybe 10 square feet, most of that was due to converting traditional doors to pocket doors, which requires wider walls. For the most part, all of the doorways could accommodate the wider door requirements without moving any walls.

If I got rid of my oversized two-car garage, I could recover maybe 400 square feet. Without a driveway, another house of the same exact size could be placed on the same lot.

Cars are antithetical to density. Discouraging their use will greatly improve city density, while also having environmental benefits.
