This isn't talking about lacking safety features that make the properties "illegal" to build -- they are referring to the minimum parking requirements, minimum lot setbacks, maximum height limits and other zoning restrictions that effectively legalized single family homes at the expense of all other varieties of housing. None of those things are connected to safety, only to NIMBYish ideals.
You could, but then you’ll have replaced a universal and standardized abstraction with a hard commitment to one very specific approach. That doesn’t come cheap.
You're confusing safety ordinances with land use.

Don't believe everything you read on the news.

Occurrence of war based on fake allegations isn't rare in our history. We now have enough motivation to have a war against China and human rights isn't one of them. It's all about power and that's why there is so much focus on media about it.

Why nobody talks about KSA/Saudis? We have strong proof for all the terrible things they have done and they are still our dear partner. It's all BS if you ask me. Everything is about power and interest.

Travel to China and see what they are doing. China isn't an utopia, but most of the Chinese are happy about their progress. They complain about lack of freedom of speech but they also celebrate their victory in ending extreme poverty. They also have a lot of respect for western values unlike what politicians are trying to make you believe. It's pretty significant that they have order with a population of over 1.4 billion, most of whom were not educated.

Your privileged, pedantic ignorance of the major socioeconomic problems caused by the covid 19 response perfectly illustrates OP's point.

If we agree that the axiom of extensionality applies, then the restriction of no ties is implied. I don't think antisymmetry is necessary or sufficient for it.
housing isn't affordable in manhattan either so
A truly inspired proposal!
Impoverishment of lower classes is the direct result of monetary debasement. There is simply no way to move up when what little you earn buys less each year. Monetary debasement is also why we have seen an increase in the wealth gap.
The article is about land use restrictions, not safety ordinances. Safety is great, but doesn't cause housing shortages.

I am currently interning with a national laboratory but would like to keep my eye out for other opportunities, and there are some awesome employers here on HN. I recently graduated with a BS in Computer Science, and I worked as a web developer for over three years when I was younger. My current internship has given me experience in the Python, Java, and C/C++ languages, while allowing me to work with Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Gitlab (w/ CI/CD), and other technologies, and I'm always willing to learn the stack necessary for a job.
It's from 2017.
As a reader of papers on Arxiv, I get a lot of value from having author names and institutions on them, and having them all be by "a group of machine learners" would be a pain. I want to be able to find high quality work that's relevant to my interests, and looking for papers by authors whose work I've liked in the past is a very effective way to do that.

Obviously if I'm a conference reviewer, it'd be terrible if I used this same heuristic, and so I'm sympathetic to the fact that author anonymity does have real benefits. But we shouldn't just ignore the fact that author identification also has real benefits.

I'd be shocked if this wasn't true in just about every city proper (not suburbs).

For fun one time, some friends and I checked the modern basic lot requirements against our homes, and every single one of us failed some check.

Almost everyone had issues with setback, some were footprint to lotsize ratios, and one minimum lot size.

The city just found a massive plot of undeveloped land (hugedefunct corporate campus is being developed) and we're all kinda curious how different those homes are going to look, being the first major development of new homes in the city in quite some time.
It literally takes away from the other guy. Poor sap #1 earned money so far, poor sap #2 lost money so far. At any given point there are more poor saps of type #2 than of type #1.
So what? Changes to building codes and such always grandparent in existing construction so this statistic is likely true everywhere.
I assume this is meant to be read in the same tone as "The Aristocrats!"
Manhattan is hardly affordable. Development alone is hardly an answer for affordability. Most development projects in the US are designed to increase growth and demand, not to decrease price. Increased growth and demand actively work against affordability, so if your development is contributing to increased demand as much as it is to supply, it's not helping.

It's like how building wider freeways doesn't solve traffic. Demand is not independent of what has been built.
portal.azure.com and status.azure.com are still down in NA Pacific.
Not the OP, but the ones that come immediately to mind is that a) capping the population will reduce the market and therefore increase prices and b) if you start limiting the people, the ones remaining will most likely be the rich [0] one way or another, making the market even more competitive.

[0] Unless the place is not actually worth striving to live in, but in that case you probably don't have a rent price problem.
Why not both?

Ok, how are you defining a tie?

I believe the author is defining a tie as the following:

(a <= b) && (b <= a) && (a != b)

Then a and b are "tied". Where "!=" means a and b are different.
Charity is great but...

None of these issues will be improved, much less solved, through shaming and moralizing, hoping 330M individuals will make charitable contributions and recycle.

Give a can of food while doing your Christmas shopping so the super-corps can pay less tax and claim it gives to charity.

Just another systemic problem pushed to the individual, and swept under the rug.

Honest question, why is Coinbase listing on the NASDAQ (edit: tangentially also NYSE)? If their whole business model is predicated on the success of crypto-currency shouldn't the whole world of fiat currency be completely irrelevant and a distraction?

> "IBM has made demonstrably and materially misleading statements in securities filings about its ownership interest in the Code. In every annual report filed with the SEC since 2008, IBM has represented that a third-party owns all of the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights, and that this third-party has waived any infringement claim against IBM. These self-serving representations are demonstrably false and misleading to investors and potential asset purchasers."

That's a quote from Xinuos's legal filing. Sounds like they're referring to the SCO v Novell litigation. But, first, that case determined that Novell retained the copyrights, and therefore that SCO didn't own them (and therefore couldn't have sold them to Xinuos). And second, that sounds like Xinuos is blaming IBM for saying what the court ruled in the Novell case. That seems unlikely to fly, legally.

Here's hoping this ends far more quickly than SCO v IBM...

obligatory PSA that mencius moldbug, though "distanced" from this project, owns a significant chunk of its resource asset (galaxies/stars).

you better like moldbug if you support urbit, because you're going to help make him extremely wealthy if it takes off.
That's a ridiculous expectation for a city. Urban housing needs to be dense. The kind of housing you're describing belongs in the suburbs.
The whole setup of github project looks like it is a serious attempt.
> I never quite understood how to square that view with the desire to keep housing affordable.

It is easy, there is no absolutely no desire to keep housing "affordable" by anyone that owns property in SF.

This is a problem through the US. Property owners vote and do things that are in their favor while renters and people that are trying to enter the market scream it is too expensive.
Arabian coins found in US may unlock 17th-century pirate mystery
That just turns the city into a firt-come-first-serve lottery, in addition to all sorts of perverse incentives/disincentives for landlords and tenants alike, rather than a place where the people who are most willing/able to pay to live there are the ones that do. Rent control is one of the worst solutions to any problem.

Might've mistaken with Basque country in particular and France in general—guess I majorly botched all those vague recollections in the comment.

Wikipedia lists four local currencies in France: Abeille, Eusko, Krôkô, Occitan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_currency). And also says, “The eusko is one of a number of currencies that are active in the Basque Country”.

Yeah sure lol, the federal reserve is willing to float asset prices indefinitely. Neither party wants to be incumbent the one that deals with the fallout of raising interest rates. Anyone who has been patient with savings will get wrecked by inflation.
Other people want to live in affordable housing in proximity to transit and parks -- so your preferences and theirs are in strict conflict. If you want space and outdoors, feel free to buy a place with those features. Making it illegal to build anything but your preference is insane.
One thing I've always admired about C# is that it's an ISO standard. Which I'm not sure if that really means much these days in terms of computer programming languages. It seems like it would be an amazing hedge against a private organization co-opting it in the future.

Thats what I thought first too (I am the author). And your guess for the reason is right. AppleScripts need to be stored in ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail directory which is outside of the sandbox.
I don't see how any consequences inflicted upon the foreign owned telcos by their respective governments is much more than theatre as viewed from the perspective of Myanmar citizen.

How will any of that help to reduce the burden of human rights abuses?

I'll admit though, it is entertaining to watch a political scandal unravel. Predictable though.
This is true in many, many places: as zoning, safety, access, and environmental rules evolve most older buildings become not buildable under current rules.

Our national housing stock is FULL of places with narrow winding stairs, lead paint, full flow toilets and shower heads, untempered glass, single pane windows, uninsulated walls or ceilings, ungrounded outlets, undersized plumbing, sketchy chimneys, springy floors, etc.

I'm surprised the number isn't closer to 80-90%, especially with the recent energy efficiency rules.

You can do both. Manhattanization is perhaps bad, but low-mid rise, Brooklynization or Barcelonazation or even Missionization of more of the city would help vastly. The highest population density parts of SF are Mission and Haight and similar midrise mixed use areas, they're significantly denser (50-100% more) than Richmond and Sunset.

Imagine fitting an extra 100K people without adding any buildings higher than 3 stories.
How easy is it to link to other notes from the current note? This is the main thing keeping me on Notion.
I have no knowledge of this field. Certainly not enough to know if the article is accurate (haven't ever heard of this blog till now). But many of the claims seem well cited.

If this is true...how maddening. How can you spend more than the next 10 countries combined and still mismanage your way into this predicament? Is there anything lumbering bureaucracy cannot destroy?
You're not letting city governments get away with anything, the voters, the ones that actually show up, support these measures.
There is surprisingly little information about the project that I could find on that site.
yeah sorry, i was filled by rage, when posting that.
I think it's interesting to see a snapshot of how people were thinking in 01988 (or 01968), even if there were important things they didn't know about, so they weren't really at the forefront of their field. I hadn't realized Berkeley RISC[-I] was a register-window design like SPARC, for example, which adds new meaning to the fact that [Berkeley] RISC-V, led by some of the same people and explicitly named after it, isn't.

There are things for which dynamic scope is more suitable—that's why Common Lisp has special variables, after all. In TeX and PostScript it's common to change the current line width, the current font, the current color, the current clipping path, etc., and then restore it at the end of a scope with a grestore. Dynamic scope is the wrong default for local variables, of course.

I normally think of register-window architectures as being a specific optimization for lexical scoping—they save you from having to index each local variable off a frame pointer, or save and restore some register you've allocated to it—although they don't help a lot with closures. So, after reading your comment, I thought it would be interesting to see how they squared that circle. I was looking forward to the intellectual puzzle-solving tidbits!

Imagine my surprise to discover that they don't discuss the issues of lexical and dynamic scoping at all! There are fascinating and subtle tradeoffs involving both usability and performance here, but they simply don't touch on them. As far as they're concerned, it seems, Lisp functions have access to their parameters and temporaries, nothing else.
Pioneering has a certain connotation. Without it the headline would be more objective.
Mine was a meta-zinger, apparently. Though I have no idea what you are trying to say with that multi-fragment quote

So if I read between the lines it seems your ideal is some kind of "freedom from want" ...but only when it comes to want of healthcare. You're still cool with needing a corporate job for food, clothing and shelter? And you left out the other factor in your equation, which was gun-related stats. I'm still not seeing a coherent definition of freedom there. Still sounds like you want security to me.
Is it true that Apple devices are more secure than good Android devices(like Google's Pixel)?

They could also use facial recognition (would be a lot cheaper too).

It would work as long as there is no global catastrophe forcing everyone to wear clothing on their face in public at all times.
No city is as expensive and as associated with social egalitarianism as San Francisco.
There are certainly responses politicians could have made to help with mental health, loss of income, hunger and homelessness before the pandemic and during it. The problems existed before the pandemic and required a solution, and the problems still exist during the pandemic and require a solution.

The issue is that the solution to either of those problems upset those who finance politicians. There are powerful people who would rather have others starve, die from exposure and go without treatment for their mental illnesses than give them the resources they need to live dignified lives.

Because "words speak louder than actions" or something.
You're talking about "induced demand". Induced demand is not so high for housing. I might decide to drive 15 minutes to get a hotdog from Costco is the traffic isn't too awful. I probably won't buy an extra house just because it looks like a better deal than before. It does exist to some extent, but it's nowhere near as big a deal as for roads (at least in the short-medium term), at least I think that's the currently thinking on it - https://appam.confex.com/appam/2018/webprogram/Paper25811.ht...

> What’s “Apex Crypto”?

Apex Crypto is a crypto clearing house, similar to the clearing houses we have for the stock market. Companies like Robinhood, WeBull, SoFi, etc aren't building their crypto trading infrastructure from the ground up. They're plugging into services like this, which handle the exchange between fiat and crypto and a lot of the regulatory compliance. This drastically cuts down the complexities and lowers the barrier to entry for offering buying and selling of crypto.

I don't know all the details of the services they offer, but services like this are the reason it seems like every app under the sun will now let you buy and sell crypto.
You can already do this with regular old bitcoin.

That's how property ownership works, after all. Extending the same benefits to renters has a lot of obvious appeal even if it does nothing to fix overall price increase trends.
Judging by DST and the gregorian calander I'm sure we'll end up with a system that doesn't even approach the utility of what you're thinking.

There's a huge difference between proof of useless work and getting paid for storing real data.
I'm fairly confident that a vast majority of people know about him and don't like him merely don't like him because they've been told to not like him (from people like you, for example), and generally don't have the attention span to get through a single post of his, because they are longer than a tweet.

Of course it will sound like I'm defending him, but I'm not. I don't buy a fair amount of his arguments, but I also don't think he is some dangerous figure that needs to be shunned from society or kicked off of a campus if he visits a friend for lunch.
Github is also having problems. https://www.githubstatus.com/

Coincidence, or have they gotten around to moving some of their infrastructure to Azure since the MS acquisition?
Neither Filecoin nor IPFS guarantee content is available forever. In the general case of IPFS, someone must be pinning it or someone must have recently downloaded it (pinning keeps it around until you unpin it, if you download it you may share it out for a period of time). So suppose someone does upload some illegal content, if no one pins it or downloads it and the original node hosting it were to drop off (as may be reasonably expected if law enforcement becomes involved depending on what the content is) then it will disappear from the network. IPFS does not forcibly distribute the content across the network, only when it's accessed does it become distributed. And even then it's only temporary unless it's pinned and the pinning node remains online.

Filecoin, being based on IPFS, will be similar but with the added limit of the content requiring payment. Without payment it would, presumably, disappear very quickly from the network.

It's a very different style than, say, Freenet (or at least Freenet in the 00s, haven't looked at it recently) which makes it deliberately difficult to discover where content is being hosted and to remove it.
Because building up isn't actually any cheaper. As the building gets taller, the construction costs go up per sq foot, not down, and so does ongoing maintenance.
