That’s been the mentality in SF for years — “we don’t want to become nyc”. And so what happens? Prices skyrocket, the people who made the city interesting and serve its needs are pushed out, and only the rich enjoy it. The young generation as a whole has little hope of home ownership, while the top who work in well paid jobs reap all the rewards. Those well paid jobs are where it’s expensive to live, so it’s a catch 22. It doesn’t create a balanced society, and in fact just further stresses the differences between the haves versus the have nots. At it’s worst the wealth inequality turns into tinder for moving beyond culture wars into actual war or revolution.

Sure, it's possible that the cost on paper of solar is cheaper. But what about the infrastructure? For instance many people I'm sure live in extremely basic homes that aren't setup to be heated using solar. That alone would cost massive amounts of money they don't have.
Ask HN: Why does transparency mean the opposite of what it should?
I'm a student, and am reading a lot of older papers about distributed systems for an OS class. It seems like the word "transparent" is used to refer to a system which hides information to the user, like a black box.[0] Why is this the case? can anyone actually explain why this does in fact make sense or is it just horrible naming?

I watched the New York Times opinion piece "Liberal Hypocrisy is Fueling American Inequality. Here’s How." [0] recently. This quote sums it up perfectly:

>You cannot say you are against inequality in America, unless you are willing to have affordable housing built in your neighborhood.

Progressive cities should be leading by example, since they have legislative and executive control, but it's especially unsettling to see them take actions that indicate the opposite of the values that they espouse.

Not the last thing, or at least not the worst company to choose if that's important -

Oculus research has a better track record of publishing AR/VR research and opening up old hardware (unlocked Oculus Go) than anyone else doing serious AR/VR work.

Apple, on the other hand...
> It leaves me wondering whether German unions might behave different

A lot of moderns don't understand the unique role of Germany in the historical pantheon of left wing movements.

Germany has historically been the hotbed of socialist movements, and has a long history of a very strong, well-organized, violent, militant hard left insurgencies. If you were to talk to most communists or socialists in 1900 and ask them what the first communist nation would be, they would answer "Germany". That was always the prize and it was their power base.

So Germany developed a number of techniques to fight against these movements, including codetermination, or the idea that unions be represented in corporate decision making which would give them a stake in the overall health of the firm.

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

It's no accident that the first iteration of codetermination laws were adopted in 1848, and their modern incarnation goes to 1951, at the beginning of the cold war.

Note that codetermination is the exact opposite of US labor law, which bans management from being union members and thus is virtually designed to create or intensify animosity between non-supervisory and supervisory workers, which frankly seems like a dumb and arbitrary distinction, basically designed to create conflict within the firm. This also explains why US firms are much more resistant to unionization efforts while at the same time they lead the world in things like stock grants to workers, and the U.S. has a large number of worker owned firms as well.

There was no missing pieces for me. Are you sure you weren't like me and your missing piece was under the board?
Worked great on mobile.
You’d force a lot of older people like my parents out of their homes. Itll eventually generation out over the next 10-20 years by itself, with the exception of commercial properties like Disney. If you make them pay, there’s a chance they just straight up leave.
Aha. Read it as “(0.5 and 5.4) per 100,000 population”, not as “0.5 per 100,000 (vaccinated) population and 5.4 per 100,000 (unvaccinated) population”

Thanks.
At the end of the day, money is stored work. If your country is running a deficit, living beyond its means, then you're dependent on other people's work now, on the promise of returning the favour later. If it starts to look like you're not going honour that, then suddenly you have to face the shock of living within your means, and no amount of printing new money is going to relieve you of that. If you can't live within your means, i.e. reduce the deficit to zero, you're going to have to start promising at lot more work in return, for the shortfall you have now.
This experience has definitely given me more compassion to people who have made mistakes.

I just hope my future interviewers ask themself: “if my morally questionable actions were written down would anyone want to work with me either?”

I think we take hyperlocalism too far. If Americans shouldn’t have a say in California and Californians shouldn’t have a say in Palo Alto, then why not have each block be sovereign? Or maybe each house?
I was saying that unless the people who have spent the time doing it, get to say what's related to the job or not. My support of the practice is based on having spent decades developing skills in a variety of fields, some from masters with several decades of experience.

Gatekeeping is an excuse people who suck at things make for not being accepted as a peer, when anyone who has been involved in a culture based on skill in any meaningful way recognizes skill is the truth, and complaints are complaints. If you want to stop gatekeeping, become great at something and become a great teacher, otherwise, find another discipline.
It feels that people can get a bit unimaginative when talking about the future of cars or solar or, in this case, a combination of both. "What if I drive the car to work? I guess this whole solar-battery scheme falls apart."

FWIW, the people I know with EVs have solar panels and a home battery.
I think the lack of a universal time signal would have more immediate effects than the lack of positioning.

Positioning is still possible without satellites, albeit with reduced precision, see LORAN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LORAN
Good news! California has a system in place in place that addresses exactly this problem: https://www.sco.ca.gov/ardtax_prop_tax_postponement.html
It allows taxes to be deferred and taken out of the estate. Removing Prop 13 would leave this system entirely unaffected.

Your parents, assuming they are old enough to be seniors, will be fine. Your well-founded concern has been heard and handled. You can rest easy, knowing that your parents and other homeowning elders in California will not be forced out of their homes by property taxes they cannot afford.
An interesting story in the two most important Canadian cities in my life, Toronto and Montréal, tell is about density. Toronto is in a gas-fueled affordability crisis, real estate prices have left the solar system. Montréal is starting to heat up but by most metrics is still considered affordable. While there are several externalities (language barrier au Québec, higher paying jobs in Toronto), one of the biggest reasons I've seen cited is the extreme amount of rental apartments available in Montréal. A mass exodus 1980s-2000s with the FLQ crisis, parmis d'autres, freed up tons of buildings from the 60s and 70s which still have not been saturated 'til this day.

The huge selection of functional, old apartment buildings has a price-depressing effect on local real estate. Why would I buy a house for 700k ($3000 mortgage, etc) when I can get a 5 1/2 (3 bdrm) for $1200 a month within biking distance of downtown. Now, while this helps explain the current situation, the lord knows that nobody in their right mind would consider investing in non-luxury apartment/condo towers when they have so many other lodgings suppressing home values. But that's kind of what needs to happen in TO as well, IMO.
In the movie The War Lover, Steve McQueen (well, the actual pilot) pilots a B17 bomber "cutting the grass", i.e. flying low with the gear up. The stunt was to be done with models because it was too dangerous.

My dad was in the AF at the time, and was assigned to the movie as a consultant on AF trivia. He convinced them that the stunt could be done safely, and explained how to do it.

And so it was done. My dad got in trouble, because if the B17 had crashed doing the stunt, the AF would have looked bad. But it didn't crash, and the stunt was a big deal to the movie crowds, so he was forgiven.

It's still freakin' impressive today.

His other contribution to the movie was the mission briefing wall maps.

It looks like the original M-Disc went broke but discs are still being made by Verbatim? That one looked more promising than other formats, at least it's readable by normal drives. Future terapixel cameras or scanners could probably decode a disc from an image, right?
Those were written by random goons which aren't any better of a source. It didn't seriously affect ADTRW until the Helldump era - one of Lowtax's worst ideas where he just turned the forums into a circular firing squad, then after people made him delete it, whined about it for the rest of his life.
Think about the scale and complexity of the current gasoline and natural gas infrastructure. Pipelines, pumping stations, tanker trucks, super tankers, floating cities to drill under the oceans, massice refineries all over the globe, and on and on.

Yes some people exist who don’t understand the scale of effort needed to get a grid ready to work with just solar and wind and little else. But humanity has done this before.
There are not. Modern Strapdown-based inertial estimators rely heavily on GNSS; if you want something that won’t become unusable after a few minutes then you need significantly better sensors. LORAN is an alternative terrestrial system, but to nowhere near the scale of modern GNSS.
Ok maybe i’m not following your question then - do you mind rephrasing and asking again?
An underrated property of braces in this case is that a truncated document is no longer valid (assuming your document only has one top-level item).

Truncate YAML and in most cases you still have valid YAML.
Remote controls were a niche novelty until the 80's. Everyone got up to change the channel unless you had an expensive set using chimes or a wired control box.
Mostly interviews with students or grand-students.

However, I think Carver Mead also mentions this about "Collective Electrodynamics". Feynman got a lot of it right, but there were gaps and he simply bulldozed over people who poked at the gaps--sometimes because he believed it obviously true and sometimes because he wanted to dissuade people from working on something he was already working on himself.

It's kind of a bad habit of lots of academics. Nobody has the time to understand the whole stack of things you stand on, so someone (generally junior) poking at something way down the stack is generally going to get brushed off with "That's obviously true". And, generally, that's fine. But, sometimes it's not and in engineering sometimes it has a cost.

A vital part of engineering is communication. For example, I have calculated the resonant frequency of a microprocessor power grid using a Poynting vector formulation. It was very clever and very accurate, but completely indecipherable to most engineers. It was my job to correlate that with something that fellow engineers understood and trusted.
Is that without subsidies? Because subsidies are just make believe money to push people in some direction, the money for the infrastructure still has to come from somewhere.
I recently turned down a FB recruiter on the spot without even finding out more about the job in question, telling them I just don’t like FB as a company.

I’m lucky to have been around long enough, to be able to pick companies for my own reasons. Society isn’t set up to give most people that kind of choice; FB will therefore never really have any trouble finding people, I’m afraid.

I would love to think that they take notes when receiving negative feedback from recruitment, using it as a clue to work on fixing a broken image problem. In reality, I think they just move on to the next person who will happily put up with them.
Amazon Workspaces, Azure Virtual Desktop, and probably many more
They're both server-render(e.g. django) oriented, am I right?

SPA makes things complicated, server-render does not handle all user cases either, is there a middle ground: that I still can manipulate DOMs on the client side but not like SPA that goes all way in. That is, something likes jquery(the best/simplest API ever even after ES6), but with virtual-DOM. Not sure if Mithril etc fits the bill.

Yes, of course, much less. Regardless, the size of the debt is not an excuse to keep interest rates artificially low.

Interviewed there a few years back. This was right after one of the many Facebook crises became public (sorry, forget which). I wasn’t super interested in the role or working there but was interested in seeing what an offer might look like.

One of the interviewers was clearly going through a crises of conscience and told me he was thinking of leaving. All of the interviewers made it clear they didn’t personally use the product. Definitely the strangest interview of my life.
I agree. I have never really had a problem reading XML myself.
Why do someone need to move to SFO in the first place? Jobs are plentiful nowadays everywhere. So it’s not that for tech jobs one need to move to SFO. Yes one may want to live in Hong Kong , Singapore , Dubai , Mumbai , Paris or SFO but like all over the world certain places have higher per square foot cost than other places.
Credit to you for these amazing benchmark scores via an official process. You've certainly proved to naysayers such as Stonebreaker that lakes and warehouses can be combined in a performant manner!

Shame on your for quoting a fake non-official score for Snowflake in your blog post with crude suggestions to make it seem you're showing an apples-to-apples comparison.

I run a BI org in an F500 company that uses both Databricks & Snowflake on AWS. I can tell you that such dishonest shenanigans take away much from your truly noteworthy technical achievements and make me not want to buy your stuff for lack of integrity. Not very long ago, Azure+GigaOM did a similar blog post with fake numbers on AWS Redshift and it resulted in my department and a bunch of large F500 enterprises that I know moving away from Synapse for lack of integrity.

On many occasions, I've felt that Databricks product management and sales teams lack integrity (especially the folks from Uber & VMW) and such moves only amplify this impression. Your sales guys use arm-twisting tactics to meet quotas and your PM execs. are clueless about your technology and industry. My suggestion is to overhaul some of these teams and cull the rot - it is taking away from the great work your engineers and Berkley research teams are doing.
You can do it, I've done it, for the express purpose of GUI apps in containers. You have to mount in a Xwindows socket. There's info out there how to do it.
The youngsters are free to live elsewhere no? I just purchased my first home earlier this year. Obviously I had no choice but to purchase a home in a city/neighborhood I could afford. Why can’t others do the same?

I don't think I've seen something this bad since the IBM DeathStars.
Apple can't build an infinite number of computers either. Chiquita can't grow an infinite number of bananas. And both of these companies are deeply networked in the global economy. So what will happen if Apple triples its computer production, or Chiquita triples its banana production? Does the price magically increase like housing does in NIMBY economics?
I respect your rant, but this ship has sailed long ago. I'm fine with arbitrary names, my pet peeve is names that are actively misleading.

For example oxygen, which isn't actually required to make acids but is required for burning stuff. In some languages its name comes from fire, and that makes so much more sense.

Even worse example is electron having "negative" charge or elementary particles having "spin".
Ted Hoff (who designed the 8008, amongst other chips) worked at Atari Corporate Research in the early/mid 1980s, before Atari went under.

He had a small stash of 8008 processors. Every now and then he'd get a letter from someone absolutely desperate to find a replacement for a failed one, usually from some spooky defense-related organization. Whereupon Ted would pluck an 8008 out of the protective foam, carefully package it and mail it off.

(These days you'd probably do an in-circuit emulation or some FPGA magic).
Can't help but think this is a planted puff piece while Intel is being hammered by Apple.

The building inspections performed on the previous tenant reported none of these issues. Had they found and reported those issues, as is their job as inspectors, then any potential new tenants could have made a reasoned business decision about necessary improvements. Their negligence as inspectors goes unpunished while the location remains fallow, paying neither sales tax nor income tax.

Is the city liable for the negligence of inspections of the previous business? Were inspectors bribed or pressured to ignore obvious code violations? Were the previous business owners given privileged treatment due to race, wealth, or political connections?

SF has been behaving in this manner for for thirty years. That it continues unchecked in the face of the mayor’s attempts to put a stop to it is newsworthy.
This is one place where government should step in and we should add regulations if enough people agree. It's ridiculous to expect every company to choose not to pursue this as part of some unspoken morality.
Indian politicians who don’t deliver basic, essential energy will be voted out.
Right, which means you can effectively ruin SF through the lens of many existing residents, by turning it into a Manhattan, and still not have affordable housing there.

So why do it?
There are pros and cons. As one example my son purchased $500 of skins in Fortnite on Nintendo (I had the card saved, my fault since corrected). Trying to get that refunded was a huge drama because I had to go via Nintendo rather than Epic. In this specific scenario I would have preferred a first party resolution.
Well, good point. That’s why most manufacturers go with Android instead of making their own.
> You see this quite a lot. There does come a point where adding more solar … when a certain percentage of your production is already solar … there comes a point where more solar is a whole lot more expensive and less reasonable.

this is a lesson factorio can teach us. from[1]:

"A single solar panel outputs an average of 42 kW over a day and requires 0.84 accumulators to sustain a constant power output through the night.

It takes 23.8 solar panels to operate 1 MW of factory and charge 20 accumulators to sustain that 1 MW through the night."

the rules are contrived and simplistic, but the principles apply. the effectiveness of solar generation varies relative to net consumption rate and storage capacity. of course, some inefficiency may be desirable to avoid severe weather problems, but our imprecise climatalogical models dont positively affirm a sense of impending doom. hard to tell what the correct path is.

I think you mean "this isn't what".
That's assuming a free market with true price discovery. In reality, we have the Fed buying up financial assets and printing enormous amounts of money, and bailing out companies (which reduces risk, keeping rates low)... the entire thing is specifically engineered to AVOID true price discovery.
Here’s my concern - if you believe that people are a real critical ecological threat, then there are exactly two options: coordinated behavior change, or less people.

If there is no hope for behavior change, then that means there’s an upside to people dying. Generally, bad things happen when there is an implicit upside to death.
Holy crap -- yes. The warlock game I think was added on CD triggered it in my mind. Thank you^^
China is a unique case. Shaming do work because of the "face culture". Based on current behavior governing elite in China, I would conclude, it is working to some extend.
Wouldn't you just wire up

Button Press -> State -> Shopping Cart View

Just have the state have a function for dispatching a change to the shopping cart which is passed to the button component and pass the actual state to the shopping cart view.

You can have the state live in a parent component, use redux, use context or go more hacky.

Personally I'd say the problem is if someone is telling you that you are not allowed to build additional housing units on your property.

Zoning should allow for variety and growth. Japan, for example, does a much better job of this than the U.S. Basic residential zoning allows for multi-unit and mixed use buildings. This is more flexible over time. Cities evolve as the decades pass, they need room to breathe. Single family single use zoning doesn't allow this.

It's a major fail when a society can't provide housing for its people. Seems that a lot of Millennials are concerned about this.
But where does that state live? I imagine GP would like to live on the `Cart` component, but since the Add to Cart button isn't a child of the Cart component, you would have to "pass up" some connector. Alternatively you would just have the state live in a common ancestor of both (or at the Root) but I imagine that GP doesn't like that either (global state).
