Similar feelings here. I simply don't know where else to go; it seems like every nice-to-live-in medium-sized city that isn't SF is going through this same song and dance. Money comes in like a flock of locusts, consumes the city, and SF is one of the first examples we're seeing of the husk that gets left behind. Then they move on to the next one.

Where's a person supposed to lay down roots, without retreating deep into a suburb? I don't need or want a job at FAANG or the next "unicorn"; I'm happy with my normal tech job/income and the life it affords. Why couldn't those things stay confined somewhere else and leave the rest of us in peace?
If people's forum posts are accurate, the can size has changed (shrinkflation accusations).

That’s roughly 10% of China’s annual national GDP. Doesn’t seem like a big deal yet.

The only interesting thing about that comparison is that the Pi did pretty well in the single real-world software benchmark Phoronix did (something to do with LibreOffice and pdfs), where it was 59% the speed of the Celeron G5900, and it managed that with an SD card rather than proper USB 3 storage.

Circa 2014 I was out of college and very intent on getting into YC for mostly the wrong reasons - which were credentialism and thinking it meant you "made it". Eventually went through another accelerator, and wasted a year+ when I should have scrapped and moved on to something better.

Now to me is obvious if you start a business of value with revenue and you can sell yourself, you can easily raise funds, build a team, get early b2b customers, etc. just like everyone did before accelerators were considered a career move. The Rockefellers and Carnegies of the world were voraciously independent business builders and I really do love meeting the types who were able to make it to seed on their own.

What's surprising to people is the fact that rules of engagement are inconsistent across government entities. E.g., when you think of local police, people characterize firearm usage in a way that is not measured or protocol-driven. So people are substituting the experiences they're familiar with, and applying them (incorrectly) in a naval context.

But the outer planets have excesses of hydrogen, so round trips could help there?

The upside is, of water aka H2O that we need, the 2 H atoms are the lighter component, specifically:

2H = 2 * 1.67 * 10(-24) grams
1O = 1 * 2.65 * 10(-23) grams

So hydrogen is 11% of water, and oxygen is 88%;

meaning every kg hydrogen can combine with 8kg oxygen to give 9L water.

So all the Oxygen already being there (in CO2) is good.
Worth adding a (2012) here. The original ROP paper is also from 2012, I think.
> the community is closed to people who have a different opinion from them [...] they don't accept contributions from people outside that community (lesser people)

I didn’t read it that way at all. SQLite has been closed-contribution and maintained by a very small group of developers since it’s inception, and I have seen no evidence to suggest that religious beliefs or any supposed self-righteousness plays a part in that. In other words: the community is closed to everyone, not just “to people who have a different opinion from them“. While a closed-contribution model may be uncommon among popular open-source projects, I don’t see a problem with it (no random project on GitHub is obligated to accept my PRs).

The preamble makes it quite clear that agreeing to the code of ethics is absolutely not mandatory within the closed group of contributors to SQLite. Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t see anything discriminatory about choosing to personally pledge oneself to a specific behavioral standard without placing expectations on others.
I wonder what from?
Ah wow, thanks for the tip. I guess you can edit the root group to change it globally? Thanks, I'll try this.
Can you elaborate on system infrastructure and how it differs from ops?
I don't see where I say anything about those, you might be assuming things here. The whole point is to maintain many of those houses affordability and current residents. If done right, property taxes should not increase significantly, and the local government has the levers to ensure that if they make it a priority.

> Those luxury buildings are going exclusively into poor neighborhoods because they have the cheapest land and least restrictions.

That sounds like what the cities should precisely fix. Use zoning and legislation to herd these buildings into more desirable places. Real estate will still come and build. Many cities have done this before, this is very much possible.

If not private, then we get back to the idea of public housing being built. This is much more of a political longshot, but I think it would actually be quite interesting to see public housing at the top of the market. "Affordable housing" approaches are a bandaid on the issue. By the city building the luxury buildings themselves, they can select the exact places they want them instead of just generally herding.
Airbnb is the least of it I'd guess. More like parking, camping and vendors' rent, depending on how close they are.
Yeah, I choose to live in the metro area, but not in the city limits, because the taxes are much lower.
Well, if you are at home putting a baby to sleep and suddenly some guy blasts some music from their car and wakes up your baby, what would you do? it's not a hard decision.

There's a hierarchy of needs. Being able to be at peace in your own property ranks higher than someone else's need to blast music from their car.

I do not have anything against the guy or his music, there are just some things that are more important than others.
Then build a new condo there because of the rich culture and force the festival to shut down at the new location.

I've had to deal with gentrification before, the only time I've seen it lose was when someone took a tractor and ploughed asbestos into the ground around the proposed site. The clean up costs were in the billions and the projects died because of all the bad publicity. The site getting known as the toxic exclusion zone was just the cherry on top.
> It's weird how you're pretending to make a statement about political activism in general, while only casting aspersions on progressive and leftist activism,[...]

> using popular right-wing pejoratives ("mostly peaceful protestors")[...]

The 06 January Capitol protestors were mostly peaceful, too. I chose an open-ended phrase open ended for a reason, notwithstanding the fact that many committed leftists I speak to seem unaware that riot police and tear gas were used against Capitol protestors just like the urban rioters last summer.[1]

Besides, the right is entirely disorganized and has essentially no activism to speak of. When the Buffalo guy was arrested, there was no bail fund to go get him out. He's rotting in a jail cell to this day.

It's a plain fact, regardless of position on the political spectrum, that the Right today is basically a joke.

> [...]and even "election fortifiers" which is I believe a QAnon meme.

Your belief is incorrect. I kindly ask you to retract your defamatory statement.

"Fortifying" was used in a Time Magazine article entitled "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election"[2]:

> That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures.

> It isn't at all. Pretending to be apolitical while shitting on the left is so common it's practically banal around here.

I'm not sure where I pretended to be apolitical. I'm merely non-ideological, and thus reject political activism (of the contemporary American type).

And the idea that HN is some right-wing troll farm is laughably funny. If only you could see the downvotes.

Thanks for the cool links.

I believe he knows what compost is, he is just being lazy about using it interchangeably with what you find at most garden shops. Most commercial bags of garden soil and compost both contain a lot of broken down wood. He is just suggesting you shouldn't really have any organic matter around your roots, except for at the top level. It's good to promote mycorrhizal fungi but only at the top layer etc

I think he mostly ranting about how commercial gardening places just sell "soil" that is mostly always comes with added "compost" e.g. https://shorturl.at/mvwzG

Where as they should sell more clay/silt/sand mixes and encourage top dressing instead.

Most people just fill their pots to the top with those bags and it leads to adverse effects.

A solar shield would be a serious space structure. A mega-structure even.

We (any/all nations of humanity) don't really have much of a space presence, let alone industry. If we did, I think we'd first build solar array, around earth, to help our energy shortage; I'm not sure we have a space shortage, so Venus doesn't really solve any current problems.

Maybe we can find a light gas that could form a thin layer in the upper Venus atmosphere to change its reflective profile?

There'd have to be a new implementation rewritten from scratch for native-image (the native-image GC is actually written in Java itself, while ZGC is written in C++), but I don't see any reason why it would be impossible.

Note that Oracle does have intentions to commercialize similar features; there's already a low latency GC for native-image apps, but it's inspired by G1, not ZGC, I believe, and only available in Graal Enterprise Edition. So any such ultra-low-latency GC might be in a similar basket, unless it was implemented by an outside party or something. Or Oracle changes course on this.

If you don't use native-image and can use a normal JDK to host your Graal app (by using Graal as the JVMCI compiler), then you might be able to use ZGC today with that setup, assuming support for ZGC read barriers has been implemented in Graal.

EDIT: apparently not yet :( https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/2149

Oh, this again.

This law was written to give code enforcement a cudgel against unlicensed repair shops. All the auto enthusiast blogs and forums immediately lost their minds, but there hasn't been a sweep of the neighborhoods with officers asking to look inside of your garage for uncommon tools. The one complaint I could find online [1] was from a dude whose handle was "nimblemotorsports" and he said he had a car lift on his property (but it hadn't been set up yet). [2]

There's plenty of room for grousing about poorly written laws, but this law has lots of other equally poorly written laws across the country to keep it company. Sacramento county isn't forbidding you from putting shiny new headers on your hot rod in your own garage.

[1]: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/it-illegal-do-ma...

[2]: It took only a little more effort using the nimblemotorsports name to get an idea of why his neighbors might completely reasonably be getting irritated enough to call code enforcement.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_California_Proposition_...

Property tax is generally determined by the average price of housing in an area. California's prop 13 allowed people to lock in their property tax based on when they bought it. Its been beneficial for retirees and older folks in California who bought their houses decades ago and if forced to pay the taxes based on current valuation would be forced to sell their house and move.

Its received a lot of criticism from people who point out that it's inherently unfair and how that the tax level stays the same if the owner dies and passes the house on to their kids. It also receives a lot of criticism because it also applies to businesses. One particularly egregious example is a country club in the middlebof LA that exists on prime developmental land and normally would be paying huge taxes pays nominal fees and is only available to the extremely wealthy that can afford to join it.

Prop 13 did get some reform last November in regards to inheritance and flexibility for homeowners.
ADX is an extremely good timeseries data store. Integrates very easily without hassles into EventHub , Blobstore etc, and also has a very intuitive query language. (Though we could say AWS product integrate with Kinesis / S3 into RedShift). Needless to say a lot of nice features like Geo queries , extremely good support make it really good!

Azure was not as good as GCP in terms of data offerings , but with ADX and CosmosDB etc is really getting par with other clouds really well.

Coupled with strong Azure IoT , these data products may be a real winner

Crazy fast build times, or when 10 seconds starts to make you nervous (2012)
"Clearly, this expenditure pattern is a massive misallocation of resources. The last 20% of network hashpower provides vastly less value to the ecosystem than those same resources would if they had gone into research and core protocol development. So why not just.... cut the PoW budget by 20% and redirect the funds to those other things instead?"

"even though we could easily identify some valuable public goods to redirect some funding to as a one-off, making a regular institutionalized pattern of such decisions carries risks of political chaos and capture that are in the long run not worth it."

He gets the premise entirely wrong here. The chaos in these blockchain protocols is due to there not being a clear and well defined process for doing consensus rule upgrades. PoW miners control these chains. The power over the chain by PoW miners has become centralized into increasingly smaller number of participants with their own selfish interests. No upgrade will happen without their embracing it. Overriding the miners then becomes a vague and undefined matter of 'economic consensus' which means different things to different people and is not measurable.

Decred has consensus rules for upgrading its consensus rules. The hybrid PoW/PoS system allows for the security and fair distribution provided by PoW while allowing PoS... the economic stakeholders with the the most to lose, to make the decisions about the future of the chain.

Lead Developer for Decred, Dave Collins, outlines this concept nicely.

I wonder what the odds are of a single Looney Tunes episode coming into being without intelligent design, let alone our infinitely more complex universe. I also wonder about Wile E's ability to comprehend the ways of Messrs. Hanna and Barbera.
Odd answer, but go to the megacities that show resilience and are building housing. In the US, so far that may only be NYC. I know that's not amazing to hear if you have other reservations about NYC, but I think it's the reality until mid-sized cities catch on and get their shit together.

The other answer IMO is to pick a city no one in tech is even thinking about, and the growth rate is expected to be slow. Not to jynx them but places like Cleveland, Richmond VA, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Detroit, Columbus, San Antonio, Milwaulkee, etc.

Personally, I far prefer the megacity, but that second list is a potential option.

From an urban development perspective, to me it seems that the best course of action would be a massive federal investment in existing mid-sized cities. Build large public transit networks in some of these becoming desirable cities and distribute the strain tech is putting on our urban centers. Massively increase housing density, but with this foresight, avoid doing the short term luxury development that won't hold up longterm and build some old fashioned 3-5 story brownstones.

The risk is that the people never come, but the alternative is the consistent hollowing out of all major US cities. Something has to give.

It's also a silly point to dwell on. Black people are not being forced out, less affluent people are.

While it's valid to be against the gentrification of a neighborhood. We should not conflate it with other issues.

There is a real problem, and that is black people are under represented in the upper classes. If you fix that problem this one goes away. If you try to keep the black percentage high in this area without fixing the wealth gap, I'm not sure that you are achieving much.

> have a plan on how to deal with this or handle it?

Seems the plan is around the expectation that the newcomers, being white and rich, are going to get their way in the end. Which I truly hope not.
I feel like a large parking lot is better for this sort of thing than a residential block. Compromise?
Sure, but my point is that this cuts both ways.

E.g. I could just as easily write

"one downside of autovectorization, is that a typo can lead to non-obvious errors in calculations. When I want the exponential of a matrix, I might accidentally write exp(M) and get unwanted vectorization. This is a typo that can lead to non-obvious errors in calculations. Julia avoids this with a exp.(M) syntax."

I think the potential for typos is symmetric here between julia and R. I think what's asymmetric though is that Julia's broadcasting is more extensible, less and hoc and more general than R's auto-vectorization since it can be done over arbitrary containers and you can control precisely what calls broadcast.

Yea, you're welcome. I'm watching it rn, he def knows what he's talking about. I just disagree about the deep organic matter being beneficial, obviously don't use rotting compost as your source in a non porous soil though.

I started a company that fractures soil and injects organic matter deep, filling fractures to create drainage and sequester carbon, we use biochar - it has a sandy texture and doesn't break down very quickly because it's been pyrolyzed (anaerobic combustion that produces a charcoal/activated carbon like material that looks like black sand). Integrated pyrolyzed organic matter is how slash/burn ag works in the rainforest and is why Brazil has some soils that are black.

But you still need money to afford the increased property taxes, otherwise you'll have to sell and move out. Also, if you own, you only get money when you sell. If you are living there for a couple generations and don't plan on moving, the only thing you get is increased property taxes, and those foreigners complaining about your culture and trying to change it
