Do you have a citation for this? My intuition is that the construction of low density track housing would have far less regulatory burden than high density housing. It also has a (more) robust labor force in the US especially compared with high density construction, a framing carpenter does not a steel fitter make.

Yes, because it's more high stakes and should be subject to a greater level of scrutiny than a 1-2 story single family dwelling. Check out the Millennium tower debacle or that apartment building that collapsed in Florida if you think otherwise.
Your statistics show an actual fall in the past 10 years. It's worse than that because the true picture needs to factor in local government spending now.

If we pretend there's been steady investment, and imagine stable demand, the same thing can cost more than it did before.

But irl, budgets have collapsed, demand is soaring and costs have already risen and are about to explode due to fuel-driven inflation.

So no, starved on three counts. The baseline cost is deviating from the investment. And yes, there are many, many elements to why.
This reminds me of Raymond Chen's blog post about overclocked CPUs ( https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20050412-47/?p=35... ), where Microsoft were getting reports of crashes in CPU instructions which should be unable to cause segfaults, like xor register with itself.

I imagine if you are getting such crashes, it would be useful to see exactly where they are coming from!

It's incredibly frustrating to watch Heroku's leadership squander what they've been given stewardship of.

Heroku has a decade-plus of goodwill and developer recognition, and that is being burned to the ground rather quickly.

How about acknowledging that the Free tier is going away because Heroku is basically in keep-the-lights-on mode at this point? The number of engineers who have been laid off or quit has gutted the company, to the point that fighting abuse and spam is not possible, nor is active feature development.

I've submitted a support ticket several times and get a canned response from some poor sod in India who has no idea what is going on. Heroku's Support used to be the model of "how it's done." Now it's a joke.

And security is a joke, as demonstrated by the April "incident" that lasted two months. Reading between the lines, it seems that nobody knows what exactly happened, and the team is probably still waiting for more fallout.

I don't envy your position Bob, you've probably been told to kill Heroku by your leaders, all of whom have never used Heroku nor can explain what a dyno is.

A sad day in the developer world indeed.

I’ve listened to a number of his podcasts, I’ve never gotten that impression at all. He comes across as a well versed, legit scientist. And there is lots of other evidence to back that up, not just my impression from a few podcasts, publications, tenured professorship at Stanford, etc.

But in this case, does it really need extensive scientific study? Just think about it and look around.

The thing our entire biological systems are largely oriented around, reproduction, and human connection/contact.

And then we have this super stimuli version of that always on tap at a moments notice, but it is a trap, a mirage.

It might be best to minimize exposure to that since in the end it doesn’t/cannot produce the same results.

I’ve not even listened to that link yet, I just caught glimpse of it the other day. I think it’s just starting to seem obvious to more and more people. The evidence seems to accrue daily as to the social detriment it causes.

Are there any specific examples of cherry picking you have?
> Today, Asians are fighting for equality in US educational system

You seem to have read the details of the case, yet you say that Asian Americans are fighting for equality by citing a case that has determined at the lower level and appellate court that no systemic discrimination occurred.

Please don’t extend this meme… Asian Americans are doing just fine in admissions across the board at US institutions.

1. The appellate judge has confirmed the lower court ruling that no quota-based discrimination was found.

2. Even if true (it’s not), it is only at a some (10-20?) elite universities. It is definitely not systemic.

3. Harvard undergrad population is ~26% Asian American. US population is ~6%. This is not a perfect comparison for discrimination, but it hardly reeks of xenophobia (not really relevant for Asian Americans in the US) or racism.

4. The only reason this argument has any potential merit is because Asian Americans have higher average grades and SAT scores than the rest of the admitted population. This would indicate discrimination if those were the only admissions factors, but they are not (at Harvard, I believe SAT and grades would be part of one factor out of five that includes things like sports, and this is similar at several other elite schools).

5. Note that the “students for fair admissions” are hoping that the Supreme Court overturns the appellate court decision and thereby possibly ending affirmative action. Basically, their case is encouraging less overall diversity at elite schools for theoretical benefits to Asian Americans (note that imho it will backfire in a number of ways… look at what has happened to Stuyvesant and Berkeley for examples).

Grades and SAT scores are easy to understand for everyone. Furthermore, for kids whose parents came from East Asia, where entrance to elite universities is (for most entrants) exclusively exam-based, this is a very unintuitive system. The logic that some folks hold (both Asian Americans and non-Asian Americans) is that perfect grades and perfect SATs should get you into the best school, but that’s just not how the admissions systems at these elite schools work.

All of these schools talk about how they want a well-rounded student body, and the admissions materials make it clear that they are looking for a wider range of students beyond bookish brainiacs. I will add that if an applicant wants to get into an elite school based on academics, then grades and SATs are not enough to catch the attention of the admission committee — great grades and SATs alone only make an applicant look similar to thousands of other applicants.

Anyway, I wish the best of luck to anyone applying to an elite school. But if they do, I hope that they focus their application on something other than grades and SATs — they will have a tough time getting in otherwise.
Thank you for raising your children in a sustainable way that allows them to participate in society instead of being carted around in vehicles. I'm sure US society creates plenty of roadblocks for that lifestyle that waste your time, money, and effort. But I'm sure your children will thank you someday (if they don't already!) for providing such a human environment to grow up in.
"[...] Subsequent pontiffs continued to exhort the episcopate and the whole body of the faithful to be on their guard against heretical writings, whether old or new; and one of the functions of the Inquisition when it was established was to exercise a rigid censorship over books put in circulation. The majority of the condemnations were at that time of a specially theological character. With the discovery of the art of printing, and the wide and cheap diffusion of all sorts of books which ensued, the need for new precautions against heresy and immorality in literature made itself felt, and more than one pope (Sixtus IV. in 1479 and Alexander VI. in 1501) gave special directions to the archbishops of Cologne, Mainz, Trier and Magdeburg regarding the growing abuses of the printing press; in 1515 the Lateran council formulated the decree De Impressione Librorum, which required that no work should be printed without previous examination by the proper ecclesiastical authority, the penalty of unlicensed printing being excommunication of the culprit, and confiscation and destruction of the books. The council of Trent in its fourth session, 8th April 1546, forbade the sale or possession of any anonymous religious book which had not previously been seen and approved by the ordinary; in the same year the university of Louvain, at the command of Charles V., prepared an “Index” of pernicious and forbidden books, a second edition of which appeared in 1550."

Macron Warns 'Sacrifices' Ahead After 'End of Abundance'
> With Yarn Workspaces, installing packages across workspaces becomes faster and lighter. Additionally, it prevents package duplication across workspaces and also makes it possible to create links between directories that depend on each other, ensuring that all directories are consistent in the monorepo.

Nice that they included a footnote about pnpm. Makes me want to write a counter article about using pnpm instead. pnpm is faster than yarn 1 (variable with yarn 2, depending on use) and workspaces are just easier. Lest we forget hoisting and dependency dedupe, which is far and away superior with pnpm.

My pnpm + TS setup is as follows:

- /shared/ directory at root that contains tsconfig.base.json, tsconfig.eslint.json, tsconfig.json (which is only symlinked to, has relative settings for the directories it's linked into)

- tsconfig.json at the root, extending shared/tsconfig.base.json, including all things that an editor might care about

- /packages/ (or /services/) at the root

- /packages/{package}/tsconfig.json -> symlinked to -> /shared/tsconfig.json

This setup allows various editors to validate code in any directory that might have TS (and JS!), editor plugins that use ESLint to have a TS config reference, and allows deployment and/or build processes to operate on individual entities in packages|services without having to build the world. Note that this isn't ideal in monorepos where you want to build the world. In monorepos where I have packages and services, for example, and the services are dependent on the packages build built, I leverage pnpm's recursive script ability with filtering to build some of the world, but not all.

(Happy to answer questions on pnpm monorepos)

I think that’s generally true of utilitarianism, but utilitarianism being very difficult to put into practice isn’t an excuse to avoid making any attempt to determine effectiveness.

For example, if someone goes from “I don’t believe in utilitarianism” to “therefore there is no reason to do trials to determine which medicines are effective because any medicine could indirectly do something good, who knows” then I think something has gone wrong?

Similarly, it doesn’t mean we can’t make rough guesses about effectiveness and avoid all the charities that, while well-intended, are unlikely to move the needle.

Somehow, though, some EA people convince themselves to donate to very speculative causes anyway. I think the answer is just: don’t do that? You can stick with things that are likely to work.

And there are not zero ways to put it into practice. Donating through GiveWell is something you can do.
> the entire week we got off for "Spring Break". Which, not coincidentally, overlaps with Easter.

At my school, spring break was always in late March no matter when Easter was.

> "the only religious holidays we get off are Christian".

While that happens to be true, it's not because Christianity gets any special treatment. It's because the only religious holidays we get off are the ones that have been secularized and commercialized, and the only religious holidays that that's happened to are Christian ones. We don't get any religious holidays off just because of the religious aspect (and we shouldn't, because that would be a giant First Amendment violation).
1) We would love an equivalent to the HEROKU_RELEASE runtime variable: A strictly increasing int that is incremented with any change to the environment (deploys or env/secrets).

It’s nice to have a single roll up for all of the knobs — “what was the state of the environment” — to tag in things like crash logs.

(It’s also something we can’t easily tool ourselves.)

2) One click dashboard rollback button. Didn’t realize how much we missed this from Heroku.

You need to understand the underlying issue of why you're not completing them. Too busy? Procrastinator? Etc.

Other answers are methods that may have worked for them (and likely didn't even work for them). You can't apply all those tips, so what really is most relevant to your issue?

Apartment need not suck.

* Noise is an easily solvable problem, with insulation.
* Proper ducts and exhausts can handle smells/smoke.
* high rents means there is a demand but not enough supply.
* car parking can be in basement, easily accessible.

Benefits of a high quality apartment.

* easy to secure/gate.
* grocery, pharmacy,... are < 5 min walk.
* a large pool, 2 hectare park inside the society.
* multiple badminton, tennis, basketball courts inside the society.
* above all allow my 7 year old to go for lot of activities on his own or with friends.

> For example, converting to veganism

I know multiple people (like, a dozen maybe?) who were convinced to become vegan due to EA. One specifically did so because at the time they didn't feel they could donate a significant amount to charity, and so felt veganism would be higher value.

Of course the reason here was animal cruelty, not climate (veganism is likely worse than vegitarianism or careful omnivorism from a strictly climate perspective).
How do people find those islands in the first place so that they can use their URL?
Do you think this remains true with DIE and affirmative action being implemented in all major employers, universities and institutions? It is not fashionable to point to the unmeritocratic treatment of Asians and white males, so I guess I will point out the emperors nakedness.

Hiring people of all backgrounds that agree with a forced marxist outcome (diversity), firing people dissenting to Marxist forced outcome or shutting them up (inclusion), and a forced marxist outcome (equity) never lead to meritocracy in other places. Why would it here?

Likewise, affirmative action in hiring and research grants favor a less productive woman or a less competent person with the right identity category. Affirmative action categories are from the 60s when the US had a very different demographic, and whom held high status office jobs looked very different.

Show HN: Take 2 with Pathview’s cookieless content attribution
Afternoon HN.

I’ve been working to address the concerns previously voiced by fellow hackers. I underestimated the amount of passion some would have for data privacy. Thanks again to everyone who donated a few minutes to educate me.

Pathview no longer uses a salted and hashed IP to count unique visitors. I’ve removed the metric entirely and replaced it with “unique sessions” which is more congruent with my intention. I would not have arrived at this solution without HN. Originally, I was returning a .gif in response to the JavaScript trigger, which now returns a timestamp. The conversion report now highlights first touch, last touch, and multi-touch content paths. Pathview content attribution is a (single channel) platform for conversion optimization. I now realize conversion attribution was too broad a term for this application. Users can implement a Do Not Track mechanism should they need such functionality. I will not make GDPR claims until I’ve consulted with a lawyer. Though, my intention is to be just that.

The underlying capture mechanism leverages 160-characters of JavaScript to capture two pieces of information: the current page and the referring page. The script then returns a time-stamped response. Post-response, I store three pieces of data derived from the visit: the base domain, current page, and referring page.

My general approach to post-processing represents an iteration and improvement over old-school log analytics. There are two main differences: I do not capture or store the visiting IP address and Pathview is a cloud solution rather than a self-hosted application. Also, disabling JavaScript prevents the visit from being recorded. In time, some ad blockers will impact visit captures too.

I still have content to write and a short to-do list before I start beta testing. I know I need to explain what I do and how I do it to build trust. Does anyone have questions, concerns, or recommendations? I would welcome any insight. I’m prepared to listen and adapt as necessary.

Note: I turned the Pathview script off for this post. It will not capture your visit.

No, it is not. For one good reason, you will not be static. As you move through air your noise reduction system would need to precisely re-adjust, in real-time. The technology just isn't there. Headphones that do reduce noise reduce best sounds that are more or less uniform, like continuous motor hum. I work with music and I hate unnecessary music, it's a scourge. I have successfully argued at many non music venues, cafes, restaurants, gyms, to at least unplug some speakers so there is respite for those who wish to talk and enjoy their own music, or none. Have you made any progress?
