> I was actually worried my point may come across like this and considered clarifying,

No, I understood, I was trying to tell you that roads are, and were, for travel and that's it. This public space you love never occurred on roads. People have ZERO interest in doing anything on a road except getting to their destination. We have lost nothing whatsoever.

> vehicle traffic existed alongside people strolling and standing and doing whatever the hell else

You can not bring back the halcyon days when people strolled slowly and were not in a rush. Those days are gone and are not coming back. People want to get where they are going without any time waste.

You propose replacing roads with underground subway or monorail, which are entirely unsuitable for 90% of cities. Plus they don't solve the last mile problem, I've actually never heard of any solution for it except self driving cars that don't exist, or expensive taxis. And even then you still need your hated roads!

> As I said before, the only thing I was alluding to was the fact that they were space that you could actually use, spend time on, play on, etc,

No ever actually did that. Your dream world simply never existed.

Go watch that video you posted and tell me how many people you see talking to other people. I spotted exactly ZERO. People were shopping, or going places, sometimes together. But none were using this "public space" you imagine for anything except travel.

Perhaps you are thinking of central markets like a souq? But that's only a tiny portion of the road network.

> which shows exactly what I mean about roads essentially being extensions of the way sidewalks are today (+ vehicle traffic), as opposed to the "all vehicles except for crosswalks" style we have today.

And you'll still have your hated roads even in your scenario! Only instead of carts you'll have slow autos? So in essence you want to drop the speed limit? And that's about it? So why all the text about how much space roads are taking?

Or do you want to get rid of roads to bring back an ideal that never existed and that no one even wants (periodic mini-parks would provide all the advantages and none of the drawbacks), and have no suggestions for what to replace it with?
It makes sense to use Greek letters for exogenous parameters so that we can use Latin letters for endogenously determined variables. The distinction between capitalized and uncapitalized letters is useful for a similar reason.

This makes economic formulae much more readable.
That's literally what the original article argues. The rent control leaves a smaller supply of houses to be bid up by a fixed pool of people who want to live in SF. Whether the toy model the author uses to illustrate this is correct or appropriate is of course debatable.
I actually don't have a problem with _humans_ knowing where I am and what I am doing. Consider that I use my real name here at HN as well as most other online communities, and that I am quite public about my mental illness.

What I find disturbing as that computers are able to correllate my activities in an automated way. I'm not so much worried about the NSA spying on me. What bothers me is that this is done for targeted advertising.

I am completely cool with certain kinds of targeted advertising. Say I visit slashdot and get an ad for a development tool; I'm fine with that.

What I'm not OK with, would be visiting at first slashdot, then after that, say, FaceBook, then getting an ad for a development tool because FB knows that I also hang out at /.

I've been heavily into sales and marketing for many years. I understand how it works rather more deeply than do most folks, for example, it is quite common for marketing people to have Psychology PhDs.

I expect that it's my understanding of marketing that makes me so upset about all this surveillance.

There are lots of things that I could legitimately worry about, but do not. For example I jaywalk across busy streets quite a lot, but don't worry about getting hurt. I also wander through bad neighborhoods late at night quite a lot, usually carrying my MacBook Pro, yet I do not worry about getting robbed.
Sure you can use it with GPL'd software[0] or MIT licensed software! It doesn't stop the GPL from applying to any GPL'd code, nor the MIT license to any MIT'd code. The AGPL does say that when it is used, the sources must be available to the users; but that doesn't mean that when someone takes your (MIT or GPL) code and changes it, and uses it [without MuJS or other AGPL code], that the AGPL applies.

[0]: GPLv3, that is. Fortunately, most GPL stuff is "v2, or at your option, any later version." Unfortunately, there is quite a bit of just v2 stuff out there.
Microinvesting - ordinary people able to invest in a share of company (startup or established but unfloated) or land in an easy and realistic way. Conversely any company, new, small or large can attract money this way. Caveat emptor!

Middle finger to the city - smart people use big cities for networking and to meet people, then start up their businesses in a town miles away and say fuck you to those overheads. Tech could facilitate this. Previously unknown small towns around the world become the next silicon valleys.
When we started, we really didn't have a good estimate of how hacking in the medical space would be different from other kinds of hacking we'd done.

But it's really not that bad once you get the hang of it. If we could say anything to other people considering taking the plunge, it would be to not be afraid of the medical space. Sure, it's a regulated space and some things are more complicated, but the difficult problems are the more interesting ones to solve!

What an incredibly beautiful piece of design. I can't remember the last time I was so inspired by careful use of typesetting and white space.
I've been to too many workshops that outright wasted my time, which were supposedly paid events at that.

There are too many technical flaws with the concept. A successful workshop will let a user login to a pre-configured VM lab and follow along. Unfortunately, most of them I've been to get bogged down with provisioning.

I have been to many events where I learned more in an hour-long presentation than from a 4-hr workshop.
Without pointing fingers at a specific app, there are several in particular that we have worked with who have "pretty URLs" for their website (e.g. "http://example.com/the-name-of-the-page") but their deeplinks are "ugly" (e.g. "example://page?id=123456"). There is no unified way here to derive the deeplink from the web URL or vice versa. As such, we cannot treat deeplinks and web URLs as always templatized; these are simply URIs whose identities should be considered arbitrary.

On another slightly relevant note, from the perspective of linked data and the semantic web, the <link> tag or "Link" header (both which are suggested by Google and URX) is meant precisely for this kind of reason: being able to link separate resources with a given relation (e.g. "alternate") who may have varying display/device/media qualities (e.g. media queries). Because semantic linkage is between two nodes of the web graph rather than DNS (which I guess would be a subgraph of the web?), one is able to use semantic metadata such as http://schema.org/docs/actions.html to describe not only how to access/consume a resource, but also alternate ways to do so (e.g. from an Android device instead of a desktop client).

Again the above isn't completely impossible to do with DNS, I'll give you that, but it simply is less tenable to assume template-like qualities of all URIs or to ignore the semantic implications of redefining how linked data has worked for the last decades.
This is what it's like for me to be paranoid:

"My Deepest Fear" at http://www.warplife.com/mdc/books/vancouver-diaries/thought-...
It is an oligopoly, at least in the USA. See my previous post nearby.

Business customers rent most of the cars. Most businesses have year-long contracts with one of the big companies. That way they get discounts on their rentals. They're not going to make a deal with a small "outfit" that doesn't have national airport coverage.

That leaves leisure customers. Those are very price sensitive. They're not going to spend an extra nickel to rent a car w/o a camera. Sometimes they will put up with taking a shuttle to an off-airport rental to save a few bucks. But, and this is very important, the smaller companies are less sophisticated in terms of customer screening. So the smaller companies are more susceptible to being scammed by customers. So they will probably be even more eager than the big guys to installing cameras, GPSes, etc to keep track of their cars.
Did you read the article? Absent rent control, the article plausibly claims equilibrium rent would be higher than the rent controlled rent but lower than the market rent, because "market" rent reflects the rent only on a very small share of the available housing.

But the situation is actually better than that because if we could convincingly get rid of rent control there would be a lot of new entry into the market, making the good less scarce.

Under tight rent control, landlords have an incentive to take apartments off the market and convert them into condos or luxury homes. Remove rent control and some of those apartments will come back, which grows the supply and drives down price. Under a true market where landlords can recoup development costs we should expect see an increase in both the supply and quality of available apartments compared to the current day.

Yes we do, we support over 50 payment gateways with more on the way. You can see the complete list here - https://moltin.com/faq#gateways
I totally agree that we're in a demand bubble, but it's exacerbated by rent control and the historical difficulty of building new units.

This isn't a very fancy theory, it just effects supply and demand. I don't think you'll find many economists who would disagree with the assertion that rent control reduces supply, thus driving up prices. That reduction is caused by people incentivized to stay in a unit when they otherwise might have moved.

Experts, Negative Capability, and Shakespeare's Superior Psychology
Writing out long variable names while working on a mathematical model is like writing the same text with ten times the number of characters. It's neither elegant nor efficient.

Imagine you're playing around with variables and model configurations in complex mathematical terms, but one formula stretches over two pages and you always need to cross out and rewrite whole words.

People get mocked for failure. You cannot do anything of any decent impact without getting mocked. Toxic or not that is how it is. You can try to shield everyone or you can deal with it. Heck, this board allows "mocking" in a nice, neat mechanical fashion via down voting. If saying something sucks isn't acceptable then down voting isn't either.

The high risk isn't just $. The time people had to spend fixing the last problem was painful. You can bet people will want to vent.

> To your second point, learning from other peoples less-than-constructive criticism does not require going out of your way to help those people in the future.

Its not going out of your way, its being responsible. Not informing people of danger because they were mean to you is just bad karma on your part. I might not like someone, but I will tell that same someone about any danger. Any other behavior diminishes you as a person.
"Unfortunately, build systems require substantial maintenance effort. Kumfert et al.
find that on average, build systems induce a 12% overhead on development effort"

I can't imagine a build system taking a percentage of overhead. When we have build problems it's usually a junior dev having to stay 30 minutes late to figure out that our github repo is too large.
Linus's butt-chewings are generally specific to one aspect of someone's code. He doesn't generally say "Framework X sucks because Y, let's all talk about how much it sucks for several hours instead of being productive."

I suspect that in many cases he gets frustrated when people repeatedly do something he's asked them not to do because he has to review their patches over and over again.

Does it need to be a fine print? (why not something that's easy to see?) Here in New Zealand, some of our taxis have cameras. So even before entering the vehicle, it has "Under surveillance" or whatever on the windows, and additional stickers inside the car.

On that note though, I wonder if their cars will be much cheaper to rent than their competition to make consumers feel better about it.

Staring into the Abyss: Concurrency Control with One Thousand Cores [pdf]
One feature that would be helpful is to parse various formats of dependency specification (Node's package.json, pip's requirements.txt, Maven, etc.) and use that to build dependency lists so that I can (a) get notified of updates and (b) get a list of licenses for internal license audits.
This is great tech. I fear its going to be far from PLA-printers price wise, for a while at least ;)
Looks like he didn't realize it until after they had found out.
> Any other behavior diminishes you as a person.

So does gleeful toxic shittery like mocking people, which you (apparently) support.

It's worth noting this sort of attitude doesn't cut it in actual high risk professions, like flying planes. The worst air disaster in history was caused in large part by one pilot belittling another, and the industry has moved away from such modes of operation.

Passwords are a pain, but this isn't the solution (nor are biometrics)
> In the context of this conversation, about the financial independence of women that 81% figure seems entirely appropriate. It's fair to argue about the reasons for it, but that doesn't seem relevant to the facts relating the financial independence of women vs men.

The reasons for it are extremely relevant. If the pay gap is primarily a result of factors outside of an individual's control (e.g. sex discrimination) then it makes women less independent, but if all a woman has to do to make the same money as a man is to work the same job in the same way then she has the same level of independence, regardless of whether other women choose lower paying jobs.
I'd like to see some more complex prints to compare it what a conventional 3D printer can do. Very interesting indeed!
Short of biometrics, there is no way any online service can differentiate between you and another person with whom you have shared your credentials.

I'd like to hear counterexamples if you have any.
I have a blog post I've been playing with for about 4 months now about how broader, more diverse investor communities for startups is likely to backfire. The right people to be investing in them is probably the group that's doing it now. They could be smarter, but it's unclear to me that there should be more of them.

What set me off was the Startup Podcast episode on equity crowdfunding platforms.
Regldg – a regular expression dictionary generator
OpenSSL cannot share with OpenBSD team because the OpenBSD team would not think twice about committing those fixes, making those issues public.

[A founding value of OpenBSD is about making anonymous access to their code repository: they develop the same tree that we see. Believe it or not, this was a radical stance for its time.

This is contrary to NetBSD's policy at the time of the fork: their code was only published at time of release, making contributions very difficult for outsiders, and withholding security fixes. Theo suspected people with commit access developed attacks based on these changes prior to next release.]

I can't recall any time where OpenSSH security fixes were withheld. Although OpenBSD developers do not take the time to evaluate whether a bug may always be exploitable, they do not hesitate to announce the possibility. http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html

This is contrary to the approach by Linus on the linux kernel, where security issues "are just normal bugs", placing the responsibility of downstream vendors (and attackers) to evaluate whether they are also a security issue, https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/15/648

Shift in tech from full-time employment to contracting, working it's way down from the high-end specialties towards generalist programming. Tools and business services that make contracting easier to manage as a sole practitioner. Maybe, if we're lucky, new business systems (insurance?) that de-risks the contracting sales pipeline and utilization volatility.

Do you have any plans on replacing your hard drives as they get old? Or you just wait for them to fail?
Okay, I have to admit, that is pretty amusing. :)
Commercetools is a good platform and one of our closest competitors. The key differences are that our pricing scales a lot better, we don’t lock you into a single gateway or charge transaction fees. We also don’t arbitrarily limit the number of products you can store, or the bandwidth you can use.

We’re also more flexible, we have an EAV system (Flows) that allows you to modify and store custom data sets in a structured way. This allows you to use Moltin as a much bigger part of your product than just what we currently offer.

They do have a few more features right now but we’re pushing hard on the development front to reach feature parity with the major platforms.
Ok, that is a new spin on the resin printers. I have wondered about ways to 'scan print' an entire layer rather than draw it out with a laser. Given the translucency of the uncured material the ability to project on the membrane is really cool.

And I am waaaay relieved they raised 40M in a series A rather than have this be a link to a kickstarter (which I feared) since bringing this to market isn't a kickstarter level kind of thing. Now if they can stay disciplined and not waste the $40M it could be very interesting.

Nevertheless, the pay gap is a fact.
