I wonder what cases it to seem like it is zooming in.
This is correct - I think it's called R+P (Rail + Property). The government doesn't pay for the project at all and grants exclusive development right to the transit operator, which in case for Hong Kong is MTR. They then negotiate revenue sharing with commercial and residential developers on rent etc.

This works well and these transit operators make more money from real estate (about 2/3) than transit fare (about 1/3). The tricky thing (other than population density) is that the developer will have to assume the risk of the revenue forecast not panning out. I doubt that any transit operators in North America would be willing to do this.

I'm a child of the 70s. I grew up with this song being everywhere for a long time, but I never really paid attention, and I lived far from the Great Lakes, so it wasn't until I was an adult that I realized it was about a contemporary disaster and not some long-ago age-of-sail thing.

The song was released in 1976, and details a sinking from only a year before.

I've dug into this more out of curiosity:

They're called "mini programs" (小程序): You can see the dev pages etc. here: https://developers.weixin.qq.com/miniprogram/en/introduction...

These days, the vast majority of mobile development happens on this platform. They can have 100 million daily users in some cases.

Otherwise, you have to get an approval license from the government, per game. This had been blocked for a long time until recently: https://www.thegamer.com/china-approving-game-licenses-again...

These government pages discuss the process (but only in Chinese): https://www.nppa.gov.cn/nppa/channels/301.shtml or http://web.archive.org/web/20200605135934/www.sapprft.gov.cn... Note, only Chinese companies can go through the process. Apparently the process includes interfacing with the API, which isn't public. But some guys I pmed on reddit said they can interact with government ID servers or wechat auth. The 2nd api is public: https://developers.weixin.qq.com/doc/oplatform/en/Mobile_App...
Here's the thing. Most corporations today believe in "stakeholder" capitalism . Most follow ESG. This means they explicitly state that they are not all about profit but instead also about making the world a "better" place. And what is the result of that? I would argue that corporations are now more evil than ever.

Capitalism is great, but it only works when founded on a strong moral framework. Christianity served that purpose for the history of capitalism. However, once you abandon or corrupt your morality, then you'll see the majority of corporations do evil things, no matter whether they claim to only care about profits, or whether they claim that they also want to save the environment and bring about equity, inclusivity, or whatever Marxist Utopian ideal is in vogue at the moment.
The most important thing to understand is transit projects in the US are so costly on purpose. You can't fix anything until you fix the on purpose. If you manage to squeeze in one spot, new costs will pop up in another spot. It won't change until projects are cost efficient on purpose.
I think I skipped a few steps in my first comment. Let me break it down.

1) Countries are considered to be under a "resource curse" if they are unable to reach advanced economy status because of hindered growth over long periods of time caused by an abundance of resources. If a country is an advanced economy, it is not under a "resource curse"

2) One measure of how advanced an economy is is the GDP per capita. I don't think this is really sufficient tho because you can imagine a country that is so abundant in, say, oil that they do nothing but extract oil and STILL reach a GDP per capita of $30k. They can do this all without any advancement of their economy, and they can use imports to satisfy their desire for consumption.

3) So I actually prefer an alternative measure of "advanced economy" - the majority of the economy is service based.

Because Australia meets criteria 3, it is an advanced economy. (Australia also has a high GDP per capita, in case criteria 2 is more convincing to you).

You could propose that Australia will become resource cursed in the future if its other sectors stop growing over long periods and resource extraction continues to grow - eventually to the point that the services sector no longer represents the majority of output. I think this is possible but unlikely. And it would take a very long time....
Does anyone know if this patent was ever asserted by AT&T? (Of course, it's long expired.)
You're correct, of course, but the public good from improving the safety/cleanliness of shared infrastructure like transit has a much higher ROI than your "average" public space. Both have societal good but improving transit stops (especially rail) deserves higher priority than your average sidewalk
That's fine that you have this opinion, but I honestly don't think this is a factor that would stop most people. People on HN have a much different perspective on personal data then most people in the real world. And for companies it not really an issue either.

Their year-over-year market share is declining sharply, however. They should have tried this move five years ago.

Even if Tesla updates the Model 3 & Y to be competitive on features, the sheer quantity of competition means they were never going to dominate the space. If they choose to keep removing features from their cars instead of adding them, I start to wonder what exactly Elon's vision for the future of the company is.

I’m curious, have you waked near a BART station recently? If so, which?

If you go to an average BART station, say, Balboa Park, or North Berkley they are completely fine, not noticeable different then other areas in the same neighborhood. If you go to a newer stations (say Dublin / Pleasanton) this is even less so.

And for that matter I’m not sure your parent is actually providing any correct insights. I’m not aware of much backlash from immediate residents against new transit projects in their neighborhood (such as the muni realignment near SF state or the Van Ness BRT lane).

Users expect a company called "Mastodon" to store it, just like a company called "Twitter" stores their credentials for that site. I understand this is not how Mastodon works, so save your breath. The problem is almost everyone else on the planet does not know how Mastodon works and it will confuse and deter them.
Yes of course. As long as you don't claim to be that person with your picture its of course not a problem.

Also, it isn't very common problem that people with the same name try to pretend to be that other person. It cuts the potential people who would want to impersonate from 10s of millions to like a couple.

This same name issue is a tiny marginal problem dismissing the idea of paid verification based on that is crazy.
Well, you can't mix identity regulations (that only add friction at this point indeed) with securities regulations that organisations should succumb to when dealing with clients' assets.
I don't quite follow this logic. If one manipulates a codebase in the ways you describe (merging with another, or dividing a larger one), the result doesn't even have to be a working program; how can we compare the result with the original?

The real answer is probably that it might depends on how tightly coupled the code is, how much test coverage there is (assuming that tests are included in code size), the quality of the authors who wrote the code (this might be circular), maybe even on the technology used, or what you consider distinct bugs, etc.

My intuition leans towards super-linear, but only slightly so -- large codebases tend to have many authors (many of whom may have since stopped working on the project) and be old.
::refreshes page 100 times::

Buahahahahahahah
probably you haven't noticed this, but using 'tl;dr' instead of 'summary' or 'abstract' is a group identity marker by which the author shows solidarity with their (presumably profoundly ignorant) readers. it's the same sort of gesture as describing the paper's authors as 'eggheads' or 'boffins'

and evidently in this case the blog post author really didn't read the paper they were 'summarizing'

You’re right. I think the other commenters aren’t being straightforward with you. It is a race condition to load a file one function at a time, because any other thread can preempt you.

Arc has a particularly elegant solution to this. Any code you want to happen atomically, you wrap in (atomic …)

So

(atomic x y z)

Will do x, y, then z. During this time, no other threads are allowed to run.

Therefore your load-file function might look like (pseudo code because phone):

(def load (filename)
(atomic
(each form (read-file filename)
(eval form))))

Now any time you call (load “code.arc”), it’s guaranteed that none of the other threads will run “mid-update”. If your file contains definitions that overwrite all functions in your program, then your entire program is guaranteed to update atomically.

Under the hood, (atomic …) is implemented with a recursive lock (cf. Python’s RLock). That way, if you call a function that calls atomic, which calls another function that calls atomic, you won’t deadlock — it’s the same thread, and the same thread can always acquire the lock recursively.

And that’s it. The lock is literally a single instance of a recursive mutex, stored globally, created at program startup.

Astute readers will notice one pitfall: suppose there are 10 threads running, and then you load file, which replaces all of the functions those threads were running. What happens?

Each thread is paused in the middle of some existing function. That function will continue to exist until nothing refers to it. Since those threads refer to those functions (because we’re paused at some spot in the function), the currently-executing functions wont vanish until all the threads wake up and return.

… which is particularly problematic if your thread is a while true: “do this forever” loop! There’s no way to update it anymore. You’d have to kill the thread and restart.

Which is why the solution is “don’t do that, do this.” Get rid of the while loop, and call yourself recursively. Now whenever the new function loads, calling that function by name means you’ll jump into the new function, abandoning the old one.

In languages without tail recursion (lookin at you Python, bastard), you can still achieve this by making sure your thread runner is a while-true loop that just calls some other function, and nothing else.
Technology is ultimately a tool. Can you leverage it to increase the pace and amount of value creation in the field? If not, perhaps the field doesn’t have much to gain from technology. If yes, it shouldn’t be that hard.

Imagine a railway line/station is built 10 mins walk from me.

I'm not interested in the railway line. So I rent out my home and use the proceeds to buy or rent a larger one in a different location without said railway line.

Trying to capture that value I think would result in some sort of weird rent control / rent tax central planning nightmare that would have pretty bad side effects. It'd probably end up looking a bit like California's Prop 13(?) where people just stay put.
Is "brand loyalty" actually a thing? Personally I lean towards a thinking that product loyalty likely exist but the brand is just an aesthetic.

To me, this one looks like a Starbucks branded coffee maker, or a Toyota branded bicycle, a company swag product line that are not what the brand represents but do technically belong to the similar extremely generalized categories.

And, this won't take genius to figure out, so the real question is, why it's kept being done? This only erode a brand and plant doubts on corporate integrity into customer's minds.

Now do a transfer between an EU bank and one in Canada.

Or send money to a wallet in China.

I assure you I understand the rails going on in international money transfers, and the amount of different systems, protocols and hops to make it happen is staggering.

It can take sophisticated modern treasury operations years to get up and running in new jurisdictions independent of the regulatory challenges.

If we could isolate it to the compliance and risk management portions of the challenge it would increase innovation dramatically.
I didn't actually mean anything, especially since I don't know about your specifics, and I'm not particularly competent in this subfield anyway.

That just means there are powerful forces that can act against "what it was designed to be" for their own interests, whether it's the financial industry, government or both acting together.

It's not about pleading to these entities that they are "doing it wrong". They know this, because this is their way to control it / oppose "doing it right".
Docsify already does this.
agreed, i'm not trying to say it's a zero-sum sort of thing, just that using 'tl;dr' is not an indication of profound ignorance in all possible ways, just the forms of ignorance that result from not reading long things

Yes, all of those are finite automata based. Although grep usually uses the POSIX system regex library. GNU grep will use its own finite automata based approach for a subset (a large subset) of regexes.

But most regex engines are backtracking based. Perl, PCRE (used by PHP and probably others), Oniguruma/Onigmo (used by Ruby), Javascript, Java, Python. That covers a lot of ground.

Plus, popular reference web sites like https://www.regular-expressions.info/ are heavily biased toward regex engines that have features typically only implemented by backtracking engines.
Implicit? It is explicitly stated. Brand are a big part of marketing your product to your customers. Brands need to be kept up to date because the styles and tastes of your customers change. Things get old. New display/printing technologies enable and require new design patterns. Your customers start to expect different things over time. People stop noticing your brand if it feels like you aren’t keeping up with the last 20 years of fashion. You need to move constantly just to stay the same point.
As for the neighbour, he doesn't want to be named. However he has told CBC Sudbury he did not take the laptop, and believes the app is malfunctioning, and noted he has read comments online about cases of that happening with the Find My app.

I think the police did the right thing. When police are involved there is too much opportunity for something tragic to occur out of misunderstanding. Filing a police report with the evidence you have is the right thing to do because the link of device to account is not some sacrosanct transaction.

I've been involved in a "Find My" mixup, where I was texted that the device of an elderly person totally unrelated to me was somehow assigned and locked to my Apple ID. Could that have been a scam? Find My showed the device to be in a wealthy neighborhood but there was no way I would give someone else my credentials to unlock the device.

If I had seen that device on my own "Find My" and requested police support to retrieve the device based on that information--that would have been a grievous wrong against that person. This isn't to accuse the claimant of misdoing but to say that the evidence required to violate a domicile or body in the absence of imminent danger should be more than what is essentially a blip on an app.

It's reasonable to judge a transit system based on its worst stations. If those happen to be the stations that a traveler will be using, then what's going on at those stations will have a significant impact on that traveler's experience.

I didn’t say cash didn’t require institutions somewhere. Cash creation (physical), and cash into and out of the system requires institutions.

Cash transactions do not, so spending, receiving, and if one is crazy storage can be done without institutions.

That hypothetical $10k transaction for instance only sets alarm bells off if it’s an abnormal transaction for an individual account.

Someone doing a cash business is going to do stuff like that so much, it’s a drop in the bucket and no one cares. Coin shops, check cashing places, certain types of convenience stores and restaurants, etc.

If they manage the cash themselves instead of a cash drop, such as if they are a dispensary and are unbanked, a given dollar bill can circulate a very long time before touching a bank, depending on which parts of the economy it touches.

The reality is it isn’t super hard to launder funds apparently, so it ends up back in a bank somewhere soon, but with the intermediary transactions hidden.

As I mentioned in my other comment, that cuts down the potential of impersonates from 10s of millions to a tiny number. Or incredibly motivated people.

And it easily solved by taking it in the verification process. If you are getting verified and you have the same name as an existing verified account, its not that hard to verify that they are not trying to impersonate the other person.

You are cutting down amount of cases by 100000x.
