>Have you noticed that Manhattan and Tokyo are not meaningfully cheaper than San Francisco, despite being much higher density?

San Francisco has the highest rents in the world. In the world. They are both meaningfully cheaper than San Francisco.
I think there could be other solutions than outright sharing profits. I'm thinking something like higher tractor-rent during more desirable weeks. I don't know a lot about farming but I think there is also a risk management thing that needs to be dealt with: Planting earlier or harvesting later than optimal means higher risk of crop failure. This could be handled with insurance.
I don't think it is cool. Just think about the recent news about actors getting shot dead. It is a damn movie. Why risk the lives of actual real humans. People have no problems getting people killed for shooting movies but we can't even seem to take the slightest risk when creating new vaccines or drugs. Our sense of risk & probability and different reactions to human deaths in different situations are messed up
We're commenting on an article about solar panels covering a productive farm. Need not be a wasteland.

Solar installations are generally not placed where there'd otherwise be a forest, at least not where I live. I've usually seen them in deserts (where living creatures would appreciate the shade) or the sort of land people would've already considered wasteland.
I am not trying to score points for any side, all of these projects can and do share code when it's practical and useful to do so. There is no "exclusivity", I'm sure you know that most of these licenses in use are compatible with each other. The end result is that we are already unwittingly on the same team, it took me a while to realize it but that's the whole reason things like Github and such have taken off. I'd love to discuss your experiences with that as a lawyer if you have any interesting stories, but I would have to ask you to please avoid the hostilities, that doesn't help when trying to fix issues. We both have the same access to the same code.
Excellent book if you can find it. I kick myself for selling my hardback copy.
Great site! Love the idea. I would love to see the ability to alter the background color. I may also suggest you never default the background to pure black.

https://gomakethings.com/design-tip-never-use-black/

You will now notice this on most websites you visit.

You may also consider adding more sound effects and/or royalty free light background music that can be toggled on/off.

Good luck!
This is a pretty weak article. The trend is sourced from an unspecified number of "tech recruiters and other industry source," but not quantified at all. Quitting is up across the board[1], but there is no attempt to baseline against industry overall. The whole thing is basically an "X stock is up because of Y reason" article.

Unless that also includes raising the maximum income threshold for SNAP recipients, that would just move the burden from the absolute poorest to the marginally poor.

The moral of that story is don't let your queue go up to infinity. Drop 1/101 events and serve the other 99% with a typical latency. Instead of latency going to infinity to everyone, your service gracefully-ish degrades by serving as many requests as it is able to and quickly reporting an error to those it is not. Once load drops below capacity, you are immedietly back to a fully functioning state.

Granted, depending on how well behaved your clients are, the number of events each second may as the failed requests are retried.
I have two pairs of airpods, one is practically dead and the other keeps falling out of my ear when I tilt my head. The only reason why I still use them is because I'd need to carry around 3 different wired pairs to connect to my MacBook, iPhone and iPad...
The SATA protocol itself is rather outdated, for example, when using NCQ and if a single command gets an error (say, medium error) all the other pending commands are aborted and you need to resubmit them. That's quite a pain and a performance killer on top of the latency that the medium error itself induced into the process (to reach it there were multiple retries taking more than a second already).

Another advantage I can see is that the overhead to controlling NVMe is somewhat lower than SATA/AHCI, you can use kernel-bypass (like SPDK) to control many drives more efficiently than through the kernel interface, spending less time in the CPU when you control large number of drives from a single server. The HDD bandwidth is rather low so you can easily put a large number of bridges in there to increase the drive count.
Doesn't it make sense though? In 1910, manhattan was expensive but a lot of people still lived/worked there. The apartments would be crazily subdivided so you could fit 10 people into a 3 or even 2 bedroom. Now they are all owned by wallstreet bankers with small families, and they spend much of their time somewhere else (they might not even list their manhattan apartment as their "main domicile" during the census).
That is making the assumption that steering means the developer doesn't have to pay a commission.

There was nothing in the court ruling preventing Apple from amending their developer contracts to put such a condition on steering for non-reader apps.
If the permabubble option is so predictable, though, it should be easy to account for. Just empty your bank account and send all your funds to a stock brokerage and go all in on TQQQ (triple-leverage NASDAQ-100 ETF). Your gains should predictably outpace inflation and even real-estate appreciation so long as the Fed doesn’t prick the bubble by hiking interest rates like they did with the dot-com bubble.

This is why I think inflation is not as big a deal as it historically once was. It’s never been easier to convert cash to inflation-sensitive assets and back again. We could very well transition to a world where cash simply becomes a short-term medium of exchange and loses all purpose as a store of value. All your wealth could kept in hard assets until the very moment you need to spend it.
But it doesn't remove that financial burden entirely (or even close to entirely). You're still paying:

* opportunity cost

* property taxes

* interest
My Canadian friend mentioned this but then followed it up by saying no one in Canada cares what the Bank of Canada does and all eyes are on the US. Could that be one reason there wasn't a significant effect?

Also, there's quite a bit of cash in savings accounts now, and rates are still low by historical standards. We'll see what happens when mortgages are above 5% again.
The article is behind a paywall so I didn't get to read the whole thing, but the little I did read suggests that Godel's accomplishment is intertwined with his mental illness. It is tempting to romanticize people's mental illness and make it out as a strength that allowed to them to accomplish great intellectual feats, but as far as all evidence goes, mental illness absolutely hinders one's mental capacity and works against it, rather than something that assists it.

Please show me this evidence.

What I know is that great things often require someone working obsessively hard. Which mental illness can lead to.

For example people with Asperger's can often work much harder, and have successfully lead teams. Examples include Alan Turing during the Enigma Project, and Elon Musk today. Bipolar is often nicknamed "the CEO disease" because so many leaders have it. Ted Turner and Winston Churchill are examples. In a UK survey, fully 40% of entrepreneurs suffered from dyslexia, with Richard Branson being the best known example.

No, mental illness does not make you magically smart. Yes, it is a disadvantage. But there is no reason to believe that having to work with a team will stop people with mental illness from rising to the pinnacle of intellectual performance.
> ...or maybe most users after some years realized the true costs of having non replaceable batteries

Nope. This is a minority preference that HN folks are obsessed about, but most people aren't. The wireless headphone market is huge and booming, and replaceable batteries went out around the same time they did in cell phones. Last pair I had with a replaceable battery were Bose QC15s, sold from 2009-2015. Airpods may have lost their novelty, but people are buying up loads of wireless/ANC headphones from Bose, Sony, Sennheiser, Beats, etc. None of the newest generations have easily replaceable batteries.
The big risk now is that the fed waited too long. They could have already raised rates when the economy started doing better before delta hit. They would have had more ammo this time around, and the supply side driven inflation we're seeing might have been tamer.
The bailouts were via Treasury. [1] QE was via the Fed. I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, back in 2008 the Fed could only pick up bonds and maybe mortgage backed securities?

The 1/8th inch RCA stereo jack is the best interface ever created. The fact that it's essentially unchanged from when this 44 year old used it in middle school is pretty good proof.
> So in summary, k8s is generally the right solution for larger orgs because it enforces better split of responsibilities and establishes a powerful (relatively) easy to use API that can support practically everything.

And therein lies the problem, my employer won't consolidate the enterprise like that. They're still throwing 100 or so teams around and telling them BIRI (build it, run it) and making everyone write their own infra and application code because "DEVOPS".
If you’re spending that large of a percentage on housing you’re already running against most prudent financial advice and probably shouldn’t be thinking of housing as an investment asset

Not equity building, lack of control, and sometimes the "incentives" are off. For example a landlord wants the cheapest possible appliances. A renter wants features, quality and efficiency.. Also having no agency in the layout or functionality of the home is going to lead us all into misery. I don't understand how people think this is remotely OK.
Statistically speaking, as of the present, you are more likely to encounter households with 2+ kids in US or UK, as compared to India. China had a one-child policy with draconian penalities so I am not going to harp on it.

India's population grew because of access to healthcare & increasing life expectancy education, quality of life etc. It is a big country but had a stunted growth till 50s because the life expectancy was <40 years & the poverty gave a double whammy. What can you expect of comforts or wastage, if you were going to school to have a decent breakfast, which was otherwise unavailable (case in point: recollections of my parents elementary school years)

Countries go through population cycles i.e rapid growth, stagnation or declines. The US is ticking, at the moment, faster than China for example (birth + immigration). India touched 1 billion when I was 8. I am going to be 40 soon. Since then it has added only 300 million, not doubled. Talking of resources, I am not aware of resource utilization efficiency, but the gross usage of power & commodities is way higher in developed countries as compared to India or China (mainly due to multiple automobiles, enhanced consumerism, HVAC being omnipresent). Can you imagine how much energy will be consumed in US when one day it hits 1 billion people? I hope you reserve this same sentiment for US then.

I have lived in 5 countries including US, India and China & worked close to the energy sector to speak from experience. Right now the developing countries need to bring almost everyone out of poverty & malnutrition. These arent people who have homelessness by choice (drugs, gambling etc) but by lack of resources for generations. These problems needs cheap energy, which either has to come from sources like coal or highly subsidized from West (Note: It isn't).

I would approach this problem with some sensitivity & humanity if I were in your shoes.
I have absolutely no problem with people voting for zoning policies that decrease the supply of housing. I have a major problem with incentive structures that are setup such that the people that own houses in that environment become wealthy through no effort of their own.

George figured this out 100 years ago[0]. Implement the Land Value Tax. Go ahead and restrict supply, that's your right. But it's going to cost you in taxes.

There is no societal problem for which "just move away" is a solution.
never liked plugging things in my ears unless to wipe out loud noises. I often plug in earphones when mowing the lawn or vacuuming / woodworking. Otherwise I use "bone conducting" headphones to listen to podcasts and audiobooks.

There's a lot of famous people that don't use wired headphones

For the wireless argument, here is mine.

I use an airpods pro. I also have multiple high end headphones. I only apple os with wireless. If I was using linux, android, windows then I have to use my other headphones, since my bluetooth always have issues with wireless using other os.

The airpods pro is probbably my favourite headphones that I have. I use it 95% of the time

The only time I use wired headphones is if I need to use my amp when I really need/want to listen to the quality of something or if im using non apple os.

Wires are a pain in the a$% for me personally and ironically more fragile than my airpods pro. It's hard to move around with wires and they tangle a lot wether if im wearing them or not.

The airpods pro are small and you can have noice cancelling, transparency, and normal mode. The only downside is I have to charge them every 5~ hours.

They connect to my phone, and my 3 computers easily without unhooking the wires.

The only annoying thing about the airpods pro is that people don't know that i have something in my ear because my hair is long and I am listening to something. When they are trying to start a conversation I usually can't hear them.

The only time they fall out of my ears is if im cleaning the house cause im moving my head around too much. They don't even fall when I'm working out or running
It's a bubble. Let the prices crash.
3G shutdowns could leave most vulnerable without a connection
It's really great for a lot of folks but not without its drawbacks. Some people need access to 'tier-2' or higher cities for things like specialized medical care or educational assistance.

I think some people moving away from the urbs are going to get a shock when they see what incentives will arise because of global warming. Rising energy costs may force you back to a city in the next decade or two.

That said, I'm jealous. I can't wait to leave the Bay Area in another year or two.
>If this was the real reason then the subsidies wouldn't be suspiciously concentrated at the location of Iowa caucuses.

Politicians are crafty buggers who will repurpose anything they can to provide themselves with an edge, so that doesn't necessarily say anything about the theory behind the subsidies.
MacOS is a great example - you can buy and download software from the Apple sanctioned App Store or you can get it from other sources on their websites. The fact that I can do that on an 11 inch MacBook Air but can’t on an iPad Pro (which with a keyboard looks like almost the same device) seems pretty silly to me.
I think that’s unfair. First off, most people I know who are alarmed at the upzoning pushed by activists would also be sympathetic towards the situation you are describing, within limits. The problem is that homelessness activists purposely conflate two very different groups - those who are homeless due to bad luck and those who are simply irresponsible (permanent nomads, drug addicted vagrants, and so on). The latter group needs to face the rule of law and experience consequences, not be coddled and encouraged to live at others’ expense.
It isn't actually clear if housing is driving inflation or responding to it. Lower mortgage rates can goose prices and demand a bit but can't come close to accounting for current pricing levels. Even at 0% down payments are not trivial... and fed backed mortgage support tops out around the 600-800k mark depending on market.

You can try to fight the market, complain about the market, or position yourself to take advantage of it (using the best info available at the time). When everyone was doom-saying the Fed in 2009 and complaining that everything was fake valuation, a new crash was coming soon, etc. I got fed up and ignored them. Piled my retirement account into stocks. That has paid off quite well.

Also if you find an opportunity you believe in make a bet. I bet $7k on Tesla's IPO. Last week I sold less than half my holdings for $100,000 and plan to keep the remainder. Lots of people had negative things to say but I took a closer look and put my nickel down. Years ago after Apple hit me 700 it fell by around half. I bought the dips at 450, 400, 350, etc. That also did extremely well for me.

Find opportunities and make moves. Fighting the fed and the market means you'll miss huge upside - often so much upside that even when your negative prediction eventually comes true you'd have been better off holding through the downturn when all is said and done.

> All I can do at this point is raise my fist to the sky and say fuck the fed, fuck the financial system, fuck the greedy rich, fuck BlackRock, and fuck you.

Polish your resume, practice stupid useless whiteboard problems, move to the Bay Area, and work for a FAANG company. Keep the same lifestyle you have now. If you work moderately harder than average you can easily have $2m cash in the bank within 10 years or less - even after paying Bay Area cost of living.

Then start writing $20k checks to your house rep's re-election campaign. Guess what? They'll take your calls. Write $50-100k checks and your senator will too. It is surprisingly cheap (in the grand scheme of things) to buy access to political power. That's how the current system got where it is: those hedge fund managers have been writing campaign checks since they were junior associates at a big bank. As a result Congress hears from them and cares about their concerns more than the average rabble.

Anyone in Congress who doesn't do that and isn't independently wealthy either fails to get re-elected (no money to spend on events, travel, ads, ground game) or has no actual power because the party won't give them committee assignments since they aren't bringing any money in for the party's own election efforts (this is how parties enforce discipline).

Unlike most working Americans it is within the grasp of many HN readers to do this sort of thing and make an actual difference. Do you care enough to move? To change jobs?

Full disclosure: I'm just now in a position to start writing checks so I'll let you know how it works out in 10 years.
I am likewise having a helluva time trying to gauge just what this announcement means. Given IBM’s recent record + the CEO’s use of the word “implies”, color me suspicious.

> My only point was that making cities more dense seems to make them more desirable, causing more people to want to live there.

Increasing housing in this manner would probably boost land prices, but over a greater number of units, so result in overall decrease in housing cost.

NYC is a bit of a weird spot in real estate, in that having a Manhattan address (and probably a Williamsburg or Bushwick address to a lesser degree these days) is a status symbol for foreigners, in the same way that London or Paris might be. Most American cities do not have this kind of cachet and so at some point prices will fall if you build enough.

The problem is really that housing production would have to increase by an incredible amount to get to affordable. To use the example of Tokyo as affordable, let's look at comparative housing production statistics.

* The 23 special wards of Tokyo, 8.9M people, built 110,000 new homes that year.

* The entire country of England, population 53M, built 115,000 homes a year.

* The metropolitan area of NY, population 20.3M, approved 27,000 units in 2012, but approvals != actual construction.
