How are incentives and tax breaks any less "big government" than a tax itself? You still need an agency to oversee the administration of the incentive and tax break. That argument isn't anti-big government, it's "I don't want to pay for my negative externalities".

Taxes are a cost of doing business. Tax breaks and incentives is unearned income.

I don't think so because the chance of using a node is an independent event. So you will most likely have the same chance every time.
finding the actual properties is only a very small part of what a realtor actually does. anyone can go online, or drive around the city on any given afternoon. in fact listings have been public for a long time. my very first tech job was at a real estate web startup back in 1997. rudimentary listings information was on the web nearly 20 years ago!

and they still have in-network information that isn't available publicly. you better believe the other realtors in the agency get first pick of the hot new listings. as far as i'm aware there's no law that says the seller has to sell to any one type of person. you can have a completely unlisted private sale.

the real value of an experienced realtor is making sure you are able to buy or sell the property you want, at a good price (to you), even in a hot or cold market. it's a sales and purchasing job.

once paper is signed and the pressure is on and the clock starts ticking, things can get extremely complicated. a good realtor will guide you through the process. a bad one will let a good deal slip through your fingers, costing you a fortune!
If you come from RoR, Go is the last language/ecosystem I would think of. Elixir, Scala/Play seems to me so much more naturally fitting the Rails paradigm and the Ruby language flexibility. Go is so much different, it's not replacing Ruby on Rails, it's replacing your programming style and philosophy completely.

This isn't about deciding whats in their store, its the justification given. In the US, an at-will employee can be fired for any reason, excluding special cases like sexism, racism, or homophobia in some states. A store can decide to not stock a product for any reason, except for a set of special cases. I think that 'because you are also friendly with a competitor' is one of those special cases. I would definitely have a problem if amazon refused to stock books that are also on B&N, or if Netflix refused to provide a movie only because its also on HBO right now (note that this obviously doesn't apply if there were exclusivity agreements made with the consent of the content maker).

Every one of these attempts to categorize thinkers should have double-sized, bolded quotation marks around it. At best, some thinkers in some periods of their writing bear a family resemblance to one another.

D&P is good, but I'd suggest as a first read the first volume of the History of Sexuality. It's a more concise introduction to his thought on the role of power in formation of subjectivity, rather than as something that is top-down. I've seen too many beginners in Foucault get wrapped up in notions like the panopticon in D&P and miss more substantial elements of his thought.

I'd also recommend his essays such as "What is Enlightenment?" for beginners (online: http://foucault.info/documents/whatisenlightenment/foucault....). Even though it may require a few reads, it helps to consider his thought in relationship to thinkers like Kant (who heavily influence linguists such as Chomsky, and Chomsky's view of human nature), and perhaps more importantly it indicates the important role that he considers power to have in the formation of knowledge and subjectivity.
Most of the sorting of recycling these days is done by an array of very clever machines, that use e.g. computer vision and blasts of air, or various physical properties to separate out materials.

There are humans involved in various stages, but it's technology that will lead to higher quality, lower price recycled goods particularly as machine sorting makes it easier for consumers to contribute their waste into the system.

How is that different than arguing over definitions?

Something I cooked up a while ago:

REMOTE_SSH_AUTH_SOCK=`ssh $REMOTE_HOST 'find /proc -maxdepth 2 -user \$USER -wholename */environ 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -zhm1 SSH_AUTH_SOCK 2>/dev/null' | tr '\0' '\n' | head -n1 | cut -d = -f 2`
if [ -n "$REMOTE_SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ]
then
echo Found remote agent socket $REMOTE_SSH_AUTH_SOCK
HIJACKED_SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/dev/shm/agentjack_$REMOTE_HOST
socat UNIX-LISTEN:$HIJACKED_SSH_AUTH_SOCK,reuseaddr,fork EXEC:"'ssh -q $1 socat STDIO UNIX-CONNECT:$REMOTE_SSH_AUTH_SOCK'" &
SOCAT_PID=$!
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$HIJACKED_SSH_AUTH_SOCK
bash
kill $SOCAT_PID
fi

This will connect to a server that you have somehow gained access to, find an agent socket, and reverse-forward the agent to the system you're connecting from. Depends on socat being installed on the server, though, which is somewhat uncommon.

I would also say that the term "friends" here is a misnomer. These are not friends, these are acquaintances, or people you met once. Friends are people you are intimately familiar with - not in the sexual term of intimate, but in that you have an emotional bond with them. People for whom with distance and time, this bond fades slowly. If you have no friends, it's time to get out of your shell and join clubs, do activities, make friends, form bonds relating by personality, ethics, values. Forming bonds based on you both being Apple disciples or both drink Pepsi seems remarkably disconnected to me.

Sure. It makes absolute sense, but it wasn't the behavior either of us expected. You could easily, and rightfully, say that our expectations were wrong and inconsistent. I deal with frustratingly inconsistent customer expectations all the time, so I sympathize when I'm on the other side of the table. Just an anecdote point.

Edit: To be more clear, I expected the behavior that SVN gives me, which is that a change is pending to commit by default, but an add or delete isn't. I have no good explanation for why I expected dropbox to behavior like SVN.
ProxyCommand is a command that runs locally on the system your connecting from. The only thing the potentially compromised middle machine is doing is forwarding a TCP connection.

Yes, obviously, but ProxyCommand won't work for this use case (AFAICT). I don't need to ssh from my home machine through my devhost to github, I need to execute a git comment on devhost that authenticates to github.

Here are the primary difficulties that owners report when selling themselves (FSBO).

- Understanding and performing paperwork: 18%

- Getting the right price: 13%

- Preparing/fixing up home for sale: 12%

- Helping buyer obtain financing: 3%

- Attracting potential buyers: 3%

- Selling within the planned length of time: 7%

- Having enough time to devote to all aspects of the sale: 6%

source: http://www.realtor.org/field-guides/field-guide-to-quick-rea...

But yea I bet that there will be fewer realtors. Eventually there will be a TaxCut for FSBO paperwork, and as for prep there are already on-demand cleaning crews and on-demand handy workers. That just leaves appraisal.

Realtors won't disappear, but especially in residential, their fees will shrink along with their duties involved in the sale. You'll probably start to see "Express Realtors" getting 1%.

I don't see why it should be possible to own code.

I think the ownership of physical items is an intuitive concept that comes naturally from the scarcity of such items.

Code, algorithms or ideas on the other hand are not scarce and I think that the legal framework that makes it possible to own such immaterial things is immoral.
I've yet to realize a benefit from using a realtor, three houses in. My last transaction was done without realtors. Both parties did their research, we ensured all legalities were covered, and the whole thing was done for $30k less than using realtors. The first house incurred the penalty of using a realtor who used salesmanship to trick a couple of first-time kids. I don't trust them any further than I trust car salesmen.

As long as both parties are responsible and do their homework, I don't see any reason to use a realtor. In fact, if you do then that means there are two more parties you have to trust on responsibility.
Ask HN: What do you think about thegrid.io?
From a design standpoint, given the creatives and content, how unique will each site really be? Right now, the grid feels like a templating system that can smartly reshapes its elements to fit user content and use statistical learning to optimize calls to action. However, how far can we really push the idea of self designing websites? And what technologies would it require?
Or they're just converging on decent designs over time. Just like fixing their lack of optional parameters (although the implementation is still a broken compile-into-callsite C-style method). Just like adding more support for mutability. Null references were a mistake, and now, after countless thousands of lost hours due to them, they're starting to patch it up. But it's probably heavily inspired by people on the same platform getting radically better feature support by a much smaller team.

Or as Don Syme said (I think it was him or perhaps SPJ), features get done in Haskell, trickle into F#, then into C#. Even generics was in F# before C#.

And the current proposal on records does not appear to be compatible with F#. I'd give a somewhat higher probability to the F# compiler changing to deal with C# than vice versa.

> How is that different than arguing over definitions?

Definitions are very important. For example, one of the defining movements from second to third wave feminism was a move from essentialism. Second-wave essentialism couldn't handle the 1% of intersex people, for example, or the existence of trans individuals. (this is of course not the only thing that separates them, just one example)

These kinds of questions are full of real-world implications. This stuff matters when it comes down to questions like healthcare, and if some procedure is covered, for example. Any law which affects people based on some criteria. That's a lot of laws.

> In particular, delineating humans has the same problems as separating any species.

Absolutely, which is an other example of where this issue raises its head. Ontology is very relevant to many, many fields.
If that was a possibility, they would have tried it on the many other things they don't let you mention, like Android compatibility, Chromecast support, etc.

However - your read of the FBI data (which I frequently use myself) is completely off. Blacks are responsible for significantly higher crime rate than whites (for whom that table doesn't work because it mixes Mexicans and whites in one column). To wit:

Blacks are 13% of population but are MAJORITY of arrests for murder (49%).

That's more than 3x their share of the population.

All other rows they are also heavily represented. The only row where they are below their population number is DUI.
