Publicis buys Sapient for $3.7bn
Well technically it is only the Ellis Act that makes eviction easier. TICs just happen to be the best exit for a building that has been "Ellis Acted" and therefore cannot be rented for several years. All the units still remain subject to all the rent control rules if they are ever rented again - plus a whole bunch of other rules meant to discourage the practice. Again TICs are just the way multiple people own a single real estate.

BTW - TICs have an unusual meaning in SF. In most (English law) places it simply means property held "as undivided partial interests" - say 50/50 by two owners. In SF it means not merely this but also that all the owners have an agreement between them about who live where, etc - much like a coop agreement. It is sort of a condo-lite created in response to the restrictions on condo conversion - part of the endless war that is rent control (that only reliably benefits lawyers and politicians who are usually lawyers too). Again - complex stuff - see a lawyer. ;)

Why would that be? libFLAC has IRIX support since ~2002, and computational power certainly isn't the issue, there used to be (and may still be) devices with <100MHz ARM chips doing real-time FLAC decoding in software (using just libFLAC).

This won't be on the topic of writing code but more on being personally-productive: I use my iPad to make hand drawn wireframes/mockups using Paper53.

Going ahead and coding up an app without any idea of how the user experience/workflow goes blocks me up big time, on the flip-side wireframes/mockups multiply my productivity when the time comes that I actually type up code.

For me, when I'm trying to do some small experiment or side project, rapidly drawing high-level mockups on tablets multiplies my productivity than spending time on Photoshop/Balsamiq.

> Back on topic: how does Gates want to address animal vectors for malaria? Nothing in the blog post.

This is only a guess, but Gates has been funding several different efforts to combat the mosquitoes themselves. One of them was something the HN crowd might appreciate: a "laser fence", an automated sentry that was remarkably able to detect mosquitoes in the air and cook them to death.
By "thinking what they're told" I mean that they believe everything they hear and see little to no reason for political activity. In caricatures, Germans were and sometimes still are depicted as a "Deutscher Michel" with a nightcap, because of their political inactivity and lethargy.

So what I actually meant was that in German media, the cultural differences between east and west are still heavily emphasized, there are special shows about it and thus the people tend to think about eastern Germany as "them". The differences do exist, but you could take any 2 Bundesländer and they'd have almost or even more differences to each other, than any western Bundesland has with an eastern one.
My intent wasn't to refute your argument (I can't imagine engaging here would be a productive use of time for any party) - I was just adding a bit of context to the above comment.

>>the majority opinion in Citizens United rests on the idea that corporations are protected by the First Amendment and Fourteenth Amendments

This is false. Go read the ruling yourself. It says nothing about corporate personhood. Not a single word. The entire ruling rests purely on the fact that the government is expressly prohibited from infringing on speech. The subject of speech is completely irrelevant. If rocks and trees suddenly started speaking, the government could not infringe on that speech, not because the right of speech for trees and rocks is protected by the first amendment, but because the first amendment denies the government the power to infringe upon speech, period.

It is absolutely astonishing how much fuss has been generated over such a widespread ignorance of basic legal fact.

You only get a response if you do a good offering.

The story of Cain and Abel is the most important. Do an offering, see if He likes it and love God so much you'd kill out of jealousy. God talked to everybody in the Bible because they did offerings all day and night in the Bible.

Memory management takes the form of optimism, they'll not clear down memory in case the user asks for the same thing again. For people with lots of RAM (8GB+) this is fine.

However if you have a 4GB computer and generally single task, then a memory clean tool can work in your favour.

I have several virtual machines that start up overnight and close down in the morning, at that point I want my memory flushed to start a fresh with my applications not the VM's cached data, which wont be needed again for another 12 hours.

This is of course a corner case and just last week I upgraded to 16GB of RAM mitigating the requirement. But there is no one size fits all memory manager out there.

Poor Americans tend to be fat. That means they can reduce calories and increase the quality of food while spending the same amount of money.

3% of poor Americans lack a complete kitchen (see table 2-4).

No, of course not. No professional is going to work a graveyard shift as a matter of course just because his client is overseas. I work remotely for a U.S. Company and simply do my regular schedule regardless of what time that translates to over there.

I split my year between London and Paris time because, well, that's why we work remote in the first place, right? A couple months each winter might find me on a pleasant surfing beach that translates to 'Chicago time' or similar, so if you need to talk to me at four in the afternoon your time, that would be a good time to find me.

But again, no. I'm not going to check my email or respond to your Skype requests late an night. Just like I wouldn't expect them to answer their phone were I to call them at four in the morning.

Heh. I predicted a comment like this would be here before I even opened the comments page. "Getting rid of malaria is nice and all, but those people will still be poor." (I also expected, "Are we really sure that saving the lives of so many people is a good idea?", but fortunately that comment isn't here yet.)

It's difficult to have much empathy for people whose lives are so far removed from our own. For most of us, cancer is the boogeyman: most of the people here have had at least one friend or relative affected by it. What would you say to someone that suggested that saving the lives of cancer victims wasn't a worthy cause?

> ...there's more worthy causes to spend our efforts on in those areas where malaria is prevalent.

You are welcome to spend your efforts wherever you like. Gates has decided to spend his efforts on malaria. There is no room for an "our" there, unless you are a significant part of the Gates Foundation. I'm grateful that the mob doesn't get to decide how Gates spends his resources.

Besides the still visible difference between eastern and western Germany you should not forget that we are really well off in comparison with other countries. And not everything in eastern Germany is worse, for example daycare availability as a leftover from the GDR or infrastructure like roads and the fiber network due to the heavy investments after the reunion. When DSL became common it was hard to get it in eastern Germany because there were no copper cables.
Say that to someone whose life has been saved! You don't need to be rich to be happy. Who are you to judge the value of someone else's life?

> Armed with this 50-cent test, community health workers with little training can determine in minutes with 99 percent accuracy whether someone has malaria or not. Last year, we deployed 200 million of them in Africa alone.

I found this statement incredible. My perspective is from someone who had a Malaria scare after coming back from Asia this summer and passing through Krakow, Poland.

I had numerous blood tests to determine whether I had malaria or not, taking hours to get the results, and even then an expert from the hospital told me they could not be sure and would need to take further tests when my fever shoots up to determine if the spores are actually there.

If we have a 50c test that has been rolled out 200 million times to Africa, I find it astonishing that a modern medical center in Poland would not have access to them.

>First, Firefox (and some others) are forcing TLS to use HTTP/2 : […]; that's a big deal breaker for a lot of people

I would argue that not forcing SSL would be a big deal breaker for the whole protocol. If the experience we had with HTTP 1.1 pipelining or more recently with WebSockets is any indication then not using SSL would mean that HTTP/2 can't be reliably used anywhere because proxy servers and security (theater) products would be either breaking the Upgrade:-handshake or they would pretend to support it and then still fuck it up.

SSL works because you get guaranteed peer-to-peer connectivity without dubious software from the late 90ies intercepting your request trying to make sense of the new protocol.

Where to store your encrypted data
My Debit Card (VISA) is issued by a Greek bank (Piraeus Bank) and has two-factor authentication, for both sending money and making online payments.

When I make online payments, I get redirected to a page where I have to answer a question/answer I've set-up a priori.

The two-factor authentication is optional. I enable it to feel more secure. I don't make too many online payments, but I do at least 5-6 times per month.
But there are no career paths that offer the same amount of power and authority at the lowest level as being a police officer does. That is a powerful attractor for the power hungry, but once they have the power, they have absolutely no incentive to risk their personal safety.

Japan is in dire condition in fact.

They've stagnated because instead of generating real growth, they were faking continued prosperity by accumulating massive sums of debt. It was all meant to cover the fallout from the late '80s / early '90s asset bubble exploding.

Debt servicing costs are roughly 23 trillion yen, compared to tax revenue of 45 to 47 trillion yen for 2014. So half their budget is now just going to paying interest on debt. That's a fiscal death spiral. Things are about to get a lot worse in Japan.

It's already so bad they've taken to destroying the Yen to buy a very short amount of time, which is accelerating the overall erosion and rapidly dropping the standard of living. All of their projections for recovery have fallen flat (the failed Abenomics), as anybody with a basic understanding of non-Keynesian economics would have known ahead of time.

Want to know what comes next? A more dramatic debasement of the Yen, as a means to stave off default a bit longer. It won't work, their debt situation will get worse, and the cost to service that debt will climb, sapping even more of their tax revenues; confidence in the Yen will fall, and their ability to prop up the debt situation by debasing the Yen will begin to weaken; sooner than later, they will no longer be able to maintain the facade.
