As always comparing cities is problematic as there is no good way to determine what a city's boundaries are. The economic and transport autonomy/independence of outer areas of each 'city' varies wildly (as well as density). Some of these cities will include vast areas which may be comparable to, but excluded from the other.

Zoning alone doesnt solve affordability though (SF is probably the outlier in this case as growth has been constrained for so long). Much of it is down to economic issues and policy. In Japan prices fell drastically from the boom due to large scale debt restructuring which has also led to a decade of stagflation.
I thought that would be an answer, but then if your phone is stolen and they get in, couldn't they simply invalidate your 2fa codes too?

Mind you, it's probably the best idea.
There are basically two approaches to designing things on the Internet. One is where you pay attention to what your users want and find ways to satisfy those needs. The other is to run around shouting NO NO NO YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG and whacking the users on the nose with a newspaper any time the do something other than you intended.

Both sorts of approaches can work; Stack Exchange is decently successful. But I find the latter hopelessly arrogant. An example is Friendster, the social networking site that preceded MySpace and Facebook. The founder wanted something where he could get dates, so that's what he built. When people started creating identities for non-people things (bands, movies, places, groups, political parties) they could have said, "Hey, look, our users are trying to tell us something. Let's built those features right!" Instead, they ran around with the banstick trying to force everybody back to the intended behavior. That worked until MySpace and Facebook came along, and now people barely remember Friendster.

Stack Overflow could have created features that channeled the "let's talk about interesting things" energy properly. It would have served their community well, and it would have given them more eyeballs on things that are questions with definite answers. Instead, they've been unrepentant dicks about it and have driven many people away.
While it's true that there is nothing magical in C4, pretty much everything you describe here is wrong (as in the exact opposite of what is going on). Specifically:

- C4 makes no use of hardware transactional memory.

- C4 works great (and natively) on commodity x86-64 cores.

- C4 does not emulate anything (not memory architecture, not HTM).

- C4's transactional throughput kicks ass.

If you want to know how C4 works, all you need to do is read the actual C4 ISMM paper: http://www.azulsystems.com/sites/default/files/images/c4_pap...
<And yes, I'm one of the authors>

How you got to your posted conclusions from the link you posted is a mystery to me. Cliff doesn't say anything much about the GC mechanism there: he is talking about lessons learned in designing custom hardware. And yes, Vega had some cool GC-assist features, but they are in no way part of the C4 collector mechanism.

Since you raised the bogus, unsubstantiated assertion that "[Zing's] transactional throughput in the vast majority of workloads sucks" based purely on your mis-interpretation of what C4 actually does, I feel I must correct that notion.

To do that, I'll point out that Zing (with C4) is currently used, in production, to run some of the highest transactional throughput and most latency sensitive applications in the world. Zing's sustainable throughput (the throughput at which the system still meets the required SLA) is generally dramatically better than other JVMs running on exactly the same modern x86 hardware. Yes, you read that right: Zing gets more production-worthy TPS out of the same x86 hardware. Not less.

This is why people who actually need good throughput and good latency tend to graduate to using Zing, and start enjoying time in their hammocks as a result. See http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-gc-use/2014-O... for a happy example.

C4 is being used in everything from low latency trading (Algo, HFT, smart routing wire risk) to Online Retail (think black Friday workloads) and travel sites. C4 is used for everything from 1GB compute-heavy and messgaing workloads to 1TB data-heavy analysts applications. It powers big data workloads. It powers search. It powers Java servers of all kinds, big and small. And none of those are complaining about throughput. Quite the opposite.

Peace.
The wording of the article does not appear to support such a strong conclusion.
Simply stealing your phone isn't enough. They also need to know your password change 2-step settings.
Wow! This is so fateful! I happen to be looking for a proofreader & spell-checker. Are you available? How much do you charge? What are your thoughts on the Oxford comma?
The hybrid rocket they are using is simpler and cheaper than a liquid/liquid design would be.

I agree that, for all we know, it was the catastrophic failure of a rocket engine that was not tested enough that killed a pilot and that they should have tested the engine for much longer than they appear to have.

I imagine they switched to this design because it's supposed to be a better one.
Yep! It compiles to C, and then the Windows C compiler takes over.
Bypass 2-step to access your account but they can't change your Google password.
What strikes me most in these stories, is how you always have to find some higher ranking company employee through personal connections in order to get a tiny possibility to take your account back.

These companies build on their users but, when their users need them, they betray them.
It's possible, but it's also standard practice on github to submit even minor typos or spelling errors via a pull request, and that automatically makes you a contributor if accepted. So there's not necessarily anything nefarious going on.
As the supposed #2 contributor to the project (with 3 commits), I'd say it's far more likely that the README is simply the most visible piece of the project (or was, before the website was released today) and people contribute back typo fixes as they encounter errors.
"Hybrid systems always lead to a worst of both worlds outcome."

Not necessarily in engineering, but in politics generally that's true.

We have a hybrid healthcare system for example. It combines all the worst things about private for-profit healthcare with all the worst things about socialized medicine.
Interesting.

I've been working with JavaScript for the past few months in a class-heirarchy environment (Educational games using a proprietary engine), and it seems to be working pretty okay.

I guess it might be because the hierarchy isn't very complex as far as I'm concerned. A lot of the ugliness in the engine is abstracted away from me as a game developer.
> An object should be accessible for reassigning a value after its move, as its often needed for algorithms, thats exactly why the C++ Standard mandates this.

The same is true in Rust. A moved-from value can be reassigned, but cannot be used (compile enforced) until it is reassigned. :)
Vancouver is a distorted market...Any market that is inudated with Chinese speculators is.
Okay, but I"m still not buying that Core Data had no design goals beyond backing store for table views.
You're right. We should all be cautious with what we put in our body.

I find it interesting that you would choose to respond to a post warning about the risks of anecdotal evidence with your own personal anecdote. The impact to you was real, and incredibly rare. I am very sorry for what happened to you. Lots of people die in plane crashes; that doesn't make planes unsafe.

>Estimates of the prevalence of LSD-induced prolonged psychosis lasting over 48 hours have been made by surveying researchers and therapists who had administered LSD:
Cohen (1960) estimated 0.8 per 1,000 volunteers (the single case among approximately 1250 study volunteers was the identical twin of a person with schizophrenia, and he recovered within 5 days) and 1.8 per 1,000 psychiatric patients

It is riskier for people with pre-existing conditions. There is some value in finding those conditions. There's some fledgling research that LSD can help with some conditions.

These tests by necessity had no placebo. A flu shot is enough to generate a likely psychogenic illness. http://abcnews.go.com/2020/desiree-jennings-fake-muscle-diso....

Awful. Instead of throttling Netflix at the backbone level, they'll do it in the local loop.

A single, neutral regime is the only viable one that doesn't mess things up.

The trick is how to NOT turn title II into a highly regulated service like the POTS loop, but into one the encourages competition within the bounds of traffic neutrality.
Any "authorizarion code"--such as a password or a secret handshake--is an (ex-post) proxy for an (ex-ante) authorization.
This is a good reminder that your phone may not be as secure as you think. In many countries governments are able to get access or ask for this type of change to be made from the national telco's.

The reactions you can take at the moment are to use a mobile App, (or preferably a security key!) rather than SMS backup, and if You're feeling especially uncharitable to your phone company, change the backup number google makes you enter to a google voice number rather than that of your actual phone - creating a circular situation where it can't really be used as a method for account recovery / hijacking.
Yes, but we're thinking of changing to mobile games (what we originally started with).
Except in this case, it wouldn't be hard to stop people with angle grinders. The lock-maker just did a shitty job making the lock.
Its an infinitesimally small chance. You'd need a mac collision, must be generated at the same time, and a uuid collision. Even at the largest scales (Google et all) the probability of that happening is effectively 0.
Shouldn't they be able to do something better with popular content that is beneficial to the community and appropriate to the forum than "lock" it on a technicality?

I've been told by family anecdotes that Pepsi & Coke were a prized possession in the USSR. Whenever they were able to acquire a bottle, you would never throw it out immediately after finishing, but rather refill it with water as there was still some residual taste.
I think watches are going to be a tough sell in general. Watches are fashion accessories subject to trends. Many people, myself included, wear different watches depending on dress or occasion. So the look of these things is going to be a hard target to hit.

My main problem with the Apple Watch is that it looks like an Apple product. It's a tech gadget which, by the way, is also a wearable watch. I can't see myself wearing one. I'm looking for a watch which, by the way, is also a tech gadget.

So while I agree with you about the LG G Watch R–it looks cheap and misses the details–on the plus side, it is clearly a watch and I can judge it based on its watch-merits. With the Apple Watch I can only really scratch my head in wonder.

One idea that I have not thought through well, and don't know what the consequences would be, would be

to instead of possession of sale of the drugs being illegal, making it so that, for some collection of other crimes, if the crime was committed in a way related to the drug, the penalty for the crime would be greater.

The idea I was thinking is that this would create a disincentive to have the crimes and the drugs related, and might cut down on "drug crime" more than just removing the ban on the drugs?

I believe I've seen some say that even where a drug is legalize, there still remains a black market for that drug in that situation in order to avoid taxes on that drug. If tax avoidance had a greater fine if caught if money from (non medicinal) drugs was involved, would that perhaps discourage sellers from not paying taxes on the income, and as a result reducing the black market type stuff?

I don't know. I am not saying that I support this idea, its just an idea I thought was interesting.

I don't know what one would reasonably/realistically expect the results to be.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what results would result from such a law?
It's true. I compare it to shouting into a void. The void does not often answer back.
Are they serving all of the CDN contents (photos) via .onion as well?
In the late 70s/early-to-mid 80s memory was actually faster than the CPU, and this is partly what motivated the RISC philosophy - at the time, instruction decoding was the main bottleneck and there was plenty of memory bandwidth available so it was a good idea to design CPUs to make better use of that. Now that it's the exact opposite, and we have multilevel caches, I wonder how different CPUs would be today if the engineers back then had realised that their surplus of memory performance would be very short-lived and cores would become faster while latencies to access memory continue to increase, and designed for this long term situation.

My experience has been the exact opposite. I was reluctant to try yet another collaboration tool despite my teammates enthusiasm but after giving it a chance for a few days, I found the OSX and iOS apps extremely functional and well designed making Slack a real pleasure to use.

Don't sell it short. The US healthcare system also has many special flaws all its own. For example, I don't think either a fully for-profit or a fully socialized system would get taken for a ride on pharmaceutical and vendor costs the way we do.
Sharing Sony's Tech: A Look inside the Authoring Tools Framework
I find the design and polish of Slack to be significantly superior to that of HipChat. Feature-wise though, I'm with you and couldn't pinpoint the differences.
I think this comment will be dragged up in the future every time there's a post about the success of Slack, not unlike that first thread about Dropbox on HN.
The big thing is Object.freeze() which allows efficient object handling.

The trouble is that arrays must look and act like objects. Objects must look and at like hashes, and hashes are very inefficient. The solution is to implement arrays as arrays or structs and objects as structs or static classes. This sounds good, but what happens when that array changes size or a property is added to that object?

The answer is that the jit must constantly check for this behavior. If it sees this happen, it has to throw out all the optimized code it has generated and start over again (reducing performance in the meantime and using more power on mobile as well).

If the object cannot be changed, then the compiler can make more guarantees, so it can optimize sooner, more reliably, and is less likely to need to fall back to unoptimized byte code.
This article is conflating two things:

- two factor login (you need password + sms text)

- account recovery (using only a phone) THIS IS DUMB.

I only use an alternate email for recovery (my wife and I cross). Thus, each recovery account is still 2FA secured.

There's already been a story floating around about a young kid charging his dad's credit card because of the phone recovery option (he had the android phone in this case). This is NOT the same as 2FA auth.
It doesn't work like that though. I'm sure most developers have had the situation of not being able to solve a problem at the end of the day but the next morning you end up solving it in 10 minutes. People need rest. Without rest and recovery, your decision making process gets worse and slower.

The people I've worked for that were putting in 12 hour days always seemed to be the people that wasted the most time at work.
So, how does this compare to Clojurescript's Mori?

> well when everything is an offense to someone your going to need a right to offend just to say something they don't agree with.

Or you need a third party that defines what is offensive and what isn't.

The "right to offence" is like an arms race to me. But in arms races, it's not rightness or truth that win. It's power.

The only case where power should win is when it's people's power, id est democracy. That's why I accept, at least in principle, laws and courts as the "third party".
AWS/Route53 is the best registrar IMO. 2 clicks to buy, no ads or upsells, API access and advanced DNS features.

All that complexity (and space) to handle the cache, why not simply add more cache, lots more cache, and don't use RAM at all?
Except it's not really a fingerprint reader - it scans under your epidermis. You can't get the fingerprint from the police files and create a fake finger to unlock the phone.
That requires you entering your password which shouldn't be left in plaintext on your device.
I've also seen guys work long hours because they didn't get along well with their wives. It was an excuse not to go home.
This doesn't necessarily work. Consider scenarios where you do one edit and then effectively undo it before the redraw. Or, more realistically, two rapidly successive edits effectively undo each other.

Also, one could just as easily keep a dirty bit oneself.
Cost. More cache means bigger die size and lower yield. Also once the area of the cache gets too big, the latency increases too much. That's why the P3 moved the L2 cache back on the die while it was in a separate package on the P2...

I believe the very very first step is to move certain drugs out of Schedule I and into proper categories that are consistent with science, thereby freeing doctors and researchers to study --and subsequently, destigmatize-- proper medicinal use. MDMA holds great potential in treating PTSD; Psychedelics with addiction and depression, and so on. Once this step is made I feel a proper, less fear-based discussion can be had regarding the dangers of recreational use and abuse.

great suggestion.

> LinkedIn connections and testimonials

Yes, this I already do and seems very useful.
I think the category he means is chat-based collaboration with a ton of seamless third-party integrations. Enterprise collaboration is too broad and elides the differences between Slack and, say, email or a wiki.

Of course, you might agree with the person you're responding to and think the differences are being exaggerated. Personally that has not been my experience.
Not sure if I agree - it's more natural to have only immutable collections if taking a functional approach. Eg see scala or haskell.
Does strong typing change that? It's very clear if you're whole code base has no side effects what is happening when and where.
This sounds like an argument for adding hardware multi-factor auth in google. It's not a panacea, but a good starting point that can't be easily spoofed or hijacked.

That's a great idea. It would involve certain efforts and upfront negotiation with clients but certainly doable.

Fair enough. I agree that it should be, and that perhaps saying "they're usernames" is not really the way to go.

And it adds nothing, since it still has fallbacks to the existing systems.
I think he's referring to real-time enterprise collaboration. Things like Slack and Hipchat (and maybe Google Wave, but obviously that wasn't successful).
Yet one more reason we shouldn't be letting telcos provide our phone numbers. They are painfully inadequate when it comes to security. And our mobile numbers are now probably the most important identifiers we have, due in no small part to the proliferation of SMS 2FA.
Also density. DRAM is orders of magnitude more dense per silicon area than SRAM, but you can't generally put DRAM cells on the same chip as the CPU.
I think one of the things that got slack going is that they have an actual free tier. I've wanted to use something like campfire or hipchat among dev teams before but I wasn't able to get someone to sponsor the lowest tier so we could just try it out. Also the devs were reluctant because everyone was in the same office.
This is not actually true. It is, in fact, a fingerprint reader.

counting buckets is a potentially useful metric, not a solution. If your counts are very far away from the expected distribution (based on your area's demographics, the demographics of people with relevant degrees, etc.) then it suggests further research.
Not necessary. Just power off when you see the cops coming.
