If it happens in again next month, maybe it will.

May arguments stem around letting communities make their own decisions and abiding by the laws, as silly and antiquated and biased as they maybe, make their own decisions. I am heavily pro-building, but I don't want a jail built next door. There are nuances.

But we don't have a housing shortage in California, any longer.
full regex support sounds incredible, but is probably pretty damn hard to do now with the scale to which the internet has grown.
A "vacant building" means nothing; there is no reason to believe it's in the right location, will still be vacant next week, or is even habitable. Under construction and condemned units are both considered vacant. You gotta build.

Zoning has to be done citywide if not nationally, because otherwise it's a tragedy of the commons: everyone in a city benefits from increased density, while the costs fall disproportionately on those neighbourhoods that do densify. We need to set fixed standards just like we don't let each neighbourhood set its own tax rate.

Seems like their new policy wont prohibit that though.
The reefs off the American Florida Keys have apparently been deteriorating for some years now. A study was done by researchers at a Florida university on why, with the expectation that the primary cause would be global warming. It was not. The main cause was apparently nutrient-rich runoff from south Florida agriculture and fertilized lawns. (Nutrients lead to increased growth of algae and other non-coral things, things which are not good in large quantities for coral.) And the good news is that this kind of runoff is easier to fix than global warming.

My fear is that when everything can so easily (and semi-plausibly) be blamed on global warming, no one will look for other causes. ICO coral reefs, those might include runoff, but also over-fishing, over-touristing, dumping or leakage of sewage and trash and oil off boats, and even reportedly sun screen worn by those tourists. And studies like the one above will not get done, because everyone "knows" what the problem is, so the environment--the reefs, in this example--will get worse when they could get better.
Spend 4 hours in any town hall in the Bay Area and you’ll be convinced that housing and infrastructure should not be left to those absolute idiots.
I was like oh god is Fabrice Bellard dominating yet another sector
I can agree to leave his property alone. He doesn't own his neighborhood, though. And anybody should be able to build multifamily housing on their own fucking property. Even if you don't like it. And if you really don't want it to happen, then buy the whole neighborhood. Nobody will force you to put apartments on your own property.
Have to have an extension to make that show up on new tabs, so cant get right to it on mobile? Why did google kill the option to set a home page for new tabs? Obviously some kind of user hostile monetization reason I guess.

I mean it's basic "got mine, fuck you". The story of history, then we rewrite the narrative to paint the rich as virtuous and self-sacrificing after the fact. The assumptions that others would swallow such narratives is the amazing bit.
There is a lot of wisdom in this. "Discipline" is quite often "punitive." You think "if I don't force myself, I won't do it."

The more you practice this, the less you trust yourself: "I'm bad, and if I'm not constantly on guard, I'll relapse into badness."

If you think you'll never clean the garage unless you force yourself, you foreclose any chance that some day, you'll think "You know what? I feel like cleaning the garage right now."

"That'll never happen!" you think? Such a low opinion you have of yourself.
They pitch it more for ML but its definitely suitable for regular python too, I wish it was a little less focused on the ML use case actually, since it looks like a very nice framework for small to medium utility/tool construction where the web browser being the UI is suitable.
Yeah but the other problem in pull requests is that if someone makes changes since the last time I reviewed and then they force push I can’t see the difference from the last time I reviewed. Also if they rebase and push multiple commits there’s no guarantee they would all pass CI which means you can’t guarantee it will work with bisecting.
> Also, why the hell would you care about your property value as a billionaire?!?

The people that become billionaires are disproportionately people inclined to care about the value of their properties beyond the point where it makes any reasonable impact on their lifestyle.

Right, so you do want to force his neighborhood to change its rules so it becomes like yours.

His neighborhood clearly doesn’t affect yours. Why is it so hard to leave it alone? I’m sure Marc doesn’t advocate for your neighborhood to change.

> FOSS has become critical infrastructure and we need to act like it.

Some FOSS has become critical infrastructure. But how much of that has been inactive for a year on gitlab free tier?

I dont see how this threatens critical open source projects.
Isn't that what they recently did, when the added a limit of 5 users per namespace or pay 228 USD/year/user if you want more.

I know a company that moved to Github because why add a cost when more popular competitor is giving same for free.
There was GitTorrent in 2015:

https://blog.printf.net/articles/2015/05/29/announcing-gitto...

There are also multiple git-remote-ipfs projects on GitHub.
I mean if you want to smoke, smoke. Smoking and hand-smoking other people is not a good idea, however. The higher taxes, I agree. But that's affecting everything and it's everywhere (inflation is also a tax).

There should be special tax on smoking where the proceeds go to smoking-related healthcare; however.
From the press release you linked;

>> HEVC Advance will not seek a license or royalties on HEVC functionality implemented in application layer software downloaded to mobile devices or personal computers after the initial sale of the device, where the HEVC encoding or decoding is fully executed in software on a general purpose CPU.

From the product description,

>> These extensions are designed to take advantage of hardware capabilities on some newer devices— including those with an Intel 7th Generation Core processor and newer GPU

So it would appear that the codec does not conform to the requirements of the free license.

Equally it implies that the codec cannot be bundled in Windows itself (license free) as that is not "application software".

I get that charging 99c seems petty for a company making billions, but it does have the effect of "counting" licensees. In other words it is not a hindrance to those who need it, but it stops ms from having to pay on the count of "every windows copy sold". I don't have any insight on the actual license cost - it may be pennies, or it may be substantially > $1 - but the 99c does make an accurate counter.
Community input is a product of 60s anti-development protests; the idea is essentially that anyone can stop anything from happening, but nobody can make it go faster.

As a result, nothing ever happens, except in suburbs where not enough people care to stop you from building SFHs, so we get sprawl.

Other countries don't do this stuff. It's fine to not do it.
Not quite.

The researchers also tested the thread in a life-size silicone replica of the brain’s major blood vessels, including clots and aneurysms, modeled after the CT scans of an actual patient’s brain.

So no, not a brain. Silicone tubes. On a table somewhere.

They're happy to talk it up like its an actual in-vitro human brain though.

While climate changes have always existed, there are now at least 2 important differences, which will make this warming much more dangerous for the terrestrial plants and non-human animals.

One difference is that the rate of warming is very high now, probably much higher than ever before. At least where I live, in Europe, the climate has changed dramatically in less than 1 human lifetime and now it is extremely different from how it was when I was young.

The second difference is that now all larger wild animals and wild plants will no longer be able to react to climate like they did before, when they migrated towards the south or towards the north, depending on the climate evolution.

Now the terrestrial part of the Earth is mostly occupied by humans, crops and domestic animals, while the remaining wild plants and animals are mainly in "islands" scattered over the lands. This will make impossible a gradual retreat of the wildlife towards some more appropriate climate and they cannot make plans like humans, e.g. that they should travel 100 km through some inhospitable land, because at the end there would be a suitable biotope.

Of course, among the terrestrial wildlife, the best chances for surviving a climate change will be for those who can reach far distances through the air, over the man-made obstacles, e.g. plants with airborne seeds, birds, bats, insects, spiders and other very small living beings that can be carried by the wind, or by birds or insects.

In any case, it is pretty certain that this warming will be much more destructive for the wildlife than any other before.

It's Time to Build (somewhere else)
Property values actually go UP when you add density, because the cost of the land is amortized over more units.

Think about what an acre of land is worth in Manhattan , and what it would be worth if it were instead restricted to single family homes.
If you don't like a building then change the building code so they can't build it. But make sure it's an objective standard, otherwise there's a law (the HAA) that says you can't block it.

SF still runs on a system (discretionary review) that basically means people like you get to show up with subjective complaints about anything anyone anywhere does. You'll find the only way to satisfy you and someone else with different taste is if nobody builds anything.
Provide details. I don't know what "excessive" means here. They're going to be at least a bit conservative because they apply to more situations, but that's obvious.
You should remove the company logos. I work at Cloudflare and this seems like false advertisement.
IIRC, GitHub always had this limit. They removed it sometime after the acquisition, which could be because they have no pressure to justify the valuation be revenue.
A single spoonful won’t fill me, so why bother eating?
Yeah it's isolating, though the internet was an incredible improvement in access to new information and interesting/smart people to learn from. There are major benefits to being in or at least close to a more populated hub.
The modular approach doesn't need to be enforced by strict boundaries. One network that starts with various components but can be remodeled and even merged together as it goes could adapt.

What we're discussing here is merely a starting state of something that'd have to rebuild itself.

Or maybe evolving modalities within one network is easier than putting it together.
Incorrect. This is a fundamental property of the molecule CO2. CO2 absorbs infrared radiation. In the atmosphere this property of CO2 prevents infrared radiation from radiating back out into space.

> While transparent to visible light, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, absorbing and emitting infrared radiation ... Absorption of infrared light at the vibrational frequencies of atmospheric CO2 traps energy near the surface, warming the surface and the lower atmosphere. Less energy reaches the upper atmosphere, which is therefore cooler because of this absorption.

"Air loom"?

There actually is such a thing as an air loom.[1] Air looms make most of the world's fabrics today. They're what made fabric cheap. But they don't go back to 1815. Developed in the 2nd half of the 20th century.

This reminds me of Carlo Cipolla’s infamous essay on the laws of stupidity: http://gandalf.fee.urv.cat/professors/AntonioQuesada/Curs192...

In particular, his third law: “A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.”
They aren't allowed to decide that in other countries, just here, and almost everything that happened as a result of that was bad.

Been to Japan? France? Pretty nice places.
As much as possible, build horizontal, functionality based services. As much as possible, avoid coding anything business specific into your core. Avoid product names, role names, user types, etc, in your code, databases, classes, files, APIs, services, etc. Create systems where those things can be entered as data, so configuration can be provisioned and updated by end users. Push the "domain" as far into user-land as you can (users entering data and configuration). Imagine how bad and inflexible bug tracker software would be if there were "product manager" and "software engineer" domains and services. Or how bad Amazon S3 would be if it had a "startup" or "video provider" domain. That's why he argues Excel is so successful, there is no core domain nonsense, it's a functional piece of software that users can use to create whatever domain they want. As much as possible, avoid Domain Driven Design, except for the minimal useful parts (like using the same name for things in the same context).
Sometimes it's used to fire people that don't get a high enough rating. Either way, it's best to just be overly positive, as it can really impact people if your not, which really negates the entire point of the surveys.
I feel like decentralised storage for git repositories needs a comeback. Has anyone tried out GitTorrent or git-remote-ipfs or similar?
NIMBYism and hypocrisy aren’t traits exclusive to wealthy people.

I would object if someone tried to build low income housing next to my home. I think that what I find offensive about Andreeson is the apparent hypocrisy, eg “let’s spend mostly other peoples money for a cause I like but don’t let it affect me.”

I don’t really care how wealthy he is, douchebags come in all flavors.
I think for many of us, the ultimate Google should just be some form of "grep for the Web". Defaulting to case-insensitive would be the only "massaging" of the query that I'd consider a good idea.

Sure - you need ethics approval to do the studies on a live brain, but you don't on a replica.

The point remains.

It does affect mine. High housing prices have ripple effects across entire regions. I know people that spend 4 hours of their lives in a car every day because of those ripple effects.

Again: Marc does not own his neighborhood. He owns his house. He can do whatever he wants with his house, but the moment you grant him control over the neighborhood, you grant him rights over everybody else's property.
In our case it wouldn't be worth switching all the pipelines over. It would take a long time for that to pay back the $60 per month.

The important part that social media companies focus on is making sure they cannot be held liable. Narrowing in on ensuring their app is minimally legally and financially at fault for these phenomena. Like that is the utmost corporate priority. If you extrapolate these values, it is not crazy to think humanity's future is grim.
My takeaway from that is that people will choose privacy if it doesn't cost them anything and is easy.

But if it inconveniences them, whether it's having to click through five menus to disallow cookies or having to use Firefox, most just won't bother.

People always say they care if you ask them, but if you look at their behaviors, almost nobody actually does. It's just a nice to have, not a necessity.

See similar discussion from a couple of weeks ago where I too mentioned "about a millisecond a page": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32204910 — yes some overhead comes from LaTeX, and even more from heavyweight macro packages that one may be using.

Burglars, on the other hand, are known to do their research while picking their targets. They use chalks to draw symbols to mark houses that are easy to break into (eg symbols to mark the owner is elderly, woman, nobody at day time etc)

I wish someone would make a platform that takes that idea to the next level:

Same with documents: Not in Word or pages.app or w/e. They're in Documents.

Want to browse the web? No Safari or Firefox or Chrome names. Click on the icon that says "Web browser".

Your e-mail? Click the shiny "e-mail" icon.

(note: this is more about shielding/releasing the user from having to worry about underlying technologies. Basically, the "it just works" taken to the next level)

> Honestly CA should propose replacing the mess that is property taxes, prop 13, and it's follow ups, with a LVT that is a net neutral revenue for the state. For 90% of people that would be a tax cut

I think it's close to “for 90% of people who pay property tax that would be a tax increase”; the people it will be a tax cut for are the people with relatively high improvement value on their land compared to the bare land value, like corporate HQs and landlords of high density apartment complexes.

More and more frequently I was getting this for the actual search terms, in quotes or not, to the point where I would Control+F any words just to find none of them existed on the page. It's the reason I switched to dumber search engines.

I've assumed the "fast path" is to search for "phrases with similar meaning", rather than actual words. But that really destroys technical searches.
My increasing dissatisfaction with Google’s core product, what made it a company in the first place, it’s prime product, it’s raison d’être, Internet search, is because it now seems to fixate on the most generic terms in my query and returns answers for a question it assumes I have - rather than just being a powerful keyword search like it was two decades ago.

You can still use something while lamenting that the product is not as good as it used to be.
