The book The Information by James Gleick introduced me to this bit of history. It's an incredible book for plenty of other reasons, including discussions of West African talking drums, Charles Babbage & Ada Lovelace, and plenty of other things. Highly recommended!

We recently stayed in (what was marketed as) one of the top residential, luxury skyrise apartment blocks in Thailand. For pennies.

It was clear that it was only supposed to be for long term residents and short-term tenants airbnb/tripadvisor-rentals types were "unwelcome" (I imagine to maintain the exclusive feel of the place). They literally had signs up implying it was illegal to be a short-term renter there and, if caught, you might be refused access to facilities.

However, the apartment (and the apartment blocks) was so obviously empty of long term residents, it was sad to see such a waste of space.

The owner of our apartment was someone in Oxford who I imagined was just trying to get a little money in just to pay the service charge while waiting for his capital investment to mature.

Despite the luxury of the place, this skyrise was like a dead zone. I felt sorry for the actual residents because there was no community for them.

And to loop around to a point related to your post, it didn't make for a good holiday experience.

Actually, you can test these words of wisdom. Luxury is expensive so few get to experience it. However, in Thailand it is cheap so try it out.

One thing it will teach you is that luxury is fun for a minute, but it may not make you happy. Worth trying it first before you chase it too hard in your home country and realise what a mistake it might be to dedicate too much time in the pursuit of it.
>Isn't linking a closed source library (Chakra) problematic?

Yeah, because the tech world didn't have enough problems with projects being immature, unreliable, stale 30+ year designs, abandoned, incompatible, not provided by a specific distribution, coflicting, patented and 100 other issues to consider.

It just had to also add 200 legal distinctions behind what you can and you cannot do, and how you can link stuff and under what circumstances.

with anything there are a lot of ways to do it. This is sort of a parralax type of animation. There are many librarys that handle this, but one way is to (at a certain place on the site) decouple the scroll from actually moving further down the page, and use it as the keyframe engine for the animation.

This is a basic overview, but if you are interested google keywords like "parralax" and "parralax animation"
>Nobody lives in these condos for the most part. They are money laundering/tax shelter vehicles for the uber-rich, especially foreigners. The same phenomenon is common in south florida.

Which is the reason some people in San Francisco are skeptical about the ability of increased housing supply to contain or decrease housing prices. Adding supply that ends up being unoccupied because it's owned by absent uber-rich does little or nothing to decrease housing prices for locals. And if you demolish existing housing that is occupied by locals and replace it with housing that becomes pied-à-terres for the absent wealthy, you can, paradoxically, actually increase the price of housing for locals by adding new housing.

Of course, never building anything (like David Campos apparently wants) isn't the solution. But if one wants to decreasing housing prices for locals by adding supply, one needs to ensure that the housing is actually used by locals. Which I don't think anyone knows how to do.
Might as well post some Friends quotes and some Pearl Jam videos.

>My quibble with your assertion is that if property taxes were higher it would also hit the lower income citizens as well. Those property taxes would just be passed along as an increase in their rent.

Rent is determined by supply of housing and demand for housing, not taxation. Property owners would eat the cost and the price of properties would probably drop accordingly (higher taxes = a less attractive purchase).
@kbutler
Agreed. That Web site has a good understanding of the patent system (unlike, e.g., in general, writers for the NYT and WSJ). The article appears to state, however, that the patent office is working from reserves to make up for current shortfalls. Another issue is that while patent laws passed by congress often include sections that appear to stop congress from taking money from the patent office, they always leave a back door in the legislation to allow for the taking in the future.

Yes, a critical failure of the flight controller or power system can still cause it to fall from the sky. I've never had that happen personally and I've logged a lot of hours on custom built quads.

If you are using alpha/beta FC firmware or your settings are still being tweaked you shouldn't anywhere near people anyway.

I've lost engines that resulted in nasty crashes. As I fly quads almost exclusively they are always nasty. As such, I never fly over or near people (other than myself).

I've read of full power loss, but never personally experienced it.

In any case I think I'd be more afraid of bad FC firmware that resulted in a fly-away event. Those are super dangerous as the machine just takes off into the air and away from you. That has the potential to be MUCH worse as the altitude they eventually fall from is significant. If you've never seen a full-power ascent of a multicopter then you're in for a surprise at the speed at which they can disappear while going straight up.

I'm well aware! I had an HP iPaQ "Pocket PC" for a long time, and you could run a stripped-down version of Flash on it. But it ran slowly, and it only really worked for simple animations. You couldn't use something like YouTube on it, and it's things like YouTube that were the killer app for Flash.
I can't see any decent school not teaching version control. It's immensely valuable even to the solo developer. Hell, my shitty school taught us Microsoft SourceSafe, which was hilarious because two team members couldn't work on the same file simultaneously. You'd get lots of late night phone calls: "Check in the damn file so I can edit it!"

"collaboratively re-envision the quantum paradigm on an ongoing basis"

I'd have though "paradigm" was way more likely than "vision" to score as useless bollocks to censor.

There's a long way to go if vision is all it picked up !

I do like the concept though... A lot.
Right, but a rich person with lots of money to throw around would buy three a three unit townhouse and price out three families just to keep it empty 80% of the time -- This is the value of midtown luxury building construction -- it draws a remarkable amount of the money away from pricing out actual new yorkers.

I agree that we don't do enough -- that's why I said that twice. I was simply adding that there is some value to construction of luxury property buildings, and perhaps insinuating that if we went so far on taxes that none of these got built, we would be worse off. I don't know where the actual trade off is -- again, we're well beyond it with 421a.

New to coding - Chris Pine's Learn to Program is THE book. I like it more than Why's guide, or any website.

AI is not that smart yet to reach self awareness and know the difference between good and evil.

Terminators are still a work of fiction. AI is still primitive and we don't have genuine intelligence or anything at a human level of intelligence.

The real threat from AI is taking away jobs from human beings. To counter that there would have to be some sort of universal basic income and low cost housing and low cost college education to get back into better paying jobs that require more knowledge to work for those who got replaced with an AI program or robot.
Nope. If the landlords could raise the rates, they already would. This whole "cost X gets passed onto consumers" flies in the face of basic economics: the price is what people are willing to pay, separated from what costs/fees/taxes are applied to the supplier.
Not really. The theory behind the attack is that if the user-specified content is equal to the secret content, it will compress more effectively and have a smaller content length. The other content on the page doesn't really matter.

Adding data of random length will make the attack more difficult, but won't defeat it entirely. This is called length hiding.

What's the business model you had in mind?

It looks hard enough to even get people to vote, they are pretty disengaged towards politics in general, and I don't see how to base a business model on having people spending time fumbling with political stuff. Regularly we see new startups coming in with platforms where voters could engage and do x, y, z. I'm quite sceptical there is a demand for political engagement in the first place large enough to sustain a business model.

But having gone through this, I'm really interested in having your thoughts on that.

> their system used to be with different languages - Python, PHP, Java and Groovy ... so they decided to redo major chunks in Go. Seriously?

Valid reason for a rewrite, especially considering the quality of one or two of those languages. A language can look and run OK when used for a script calling system code, but when those scripts are glued together and become the system, all sorts of problems can manifest. It's only sensible someone there looked at the sit and planned out a replacement.

If you're asking if software licenses are important, the answer is yes, they're very important.

To the GP, though, I don't immediately see how linking to Chakra in this way would be a license issue. The more important thing is the license information for Node, though, not Chromium: https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/LICENSE (some overlap but quite a bit that doesn't)
> needs to build an extra 500 feet of subway because of an empty building

In that case, what does the height of the building matter?

To me this illustrates perfectly why it's not unfair that the people in a shorter building taking up the same surface area are taxed at a higher rate.
I appreciate that you guys are trying to reach out and explain things like this. On the other hand, I'm well aware that personal attacks are not allowed. I guess my attempt at humor with regard to whether the GP was being sarcastic or not fell flat, which is also something I know tends to happen around here. On the other hand, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it's worth it.

Pig just means "capitalist." I don't think many people here would be offended by that.
No, it's not bad. Hating on w3schools is like hating on PHP: a way for a person to socially signal that they are a Real Developer, not some noob.

That's a misconception. If you set the VSS 'lock on checkout' flag, then yes it sucks. Its a mistake to set that on a project, yet its the default (?!)

There are adequate merge tools available in VSS, like any other source control tool. Disabling them is silly.

I consider source control to BEGIN when two people check out the same file. If you can't do that, then its really version control.

More precisely though, those potential cost savings are primarily attributed to shifting from a build-to-stock to a build-to-order model, which at least in principle could be done with existing franchised dealerships. That paper also found that dealerships didn't consistently make money on new car sales. They make a lot more from service and parts.

I repeated my request in the clearest tone I could assume; but in quite as clear a one came the previous reply, "I would prefer not to."
That's an answer to a different question. If WSJ, an amoral business entity, decides to serve different content to Google users and different content to everyone else, then you're left answering a question about user intent.

Personally, I don't think it's fair that WSJ simultaneously demands money for content but leaves open a loophole so they can get Google exposure, and then complain when people use said exposure. It smacks of wanting to have their cake and eat it too.

The entire point of the Google link and the whole paywall circumvention is so they can get traffic to their site, right? This implies that getting people on their site is more valuable to them than locking their content behind a paywall.

They could always serve only a summary to both Google and to nonsubscribers from other referrers, but this leads to people mentally filing them in the "useless link, never click" bucket along with Experts Exchange and other crappy content farms.

> Accusing someone of deliberately faking their comments in order to co-opt discussion for an external interest is so far beyond the pale of civility that I'm not sure what else to tell you.

I truly and honestly believe you're seeing a level of animosity that genuinely is not there. I believe you may be reacting on a more reflexive level to a type of comment more than my actual comment, which is understandable to a degree. Yes, the first sentence said "you've more than earned your pay" but that sentence does not exist in a vacuum. It is immediately followed with a joke that to the vast majority of people would demonstrate a lighthearted mood in the comment, and I believe also would communicate to most people that my comment is a farcical statement. Yes, text is devoid of many contextual clues, but one context clue it is not missing is the entirely of the message.

I understand your interpretation, and we can agree to disagree on that aspect, but I would urge you to reconsider the position that my comment was "so far beyond the pale of civility". I made a joke about the tone of his comment, I did not accuse his family of contributing to genocide.
I applied to YC with a speech interface for drones, one application of which would be hands-free operation of selfie drones like this. E.g., if you're mountain biking you probably don't want to take one hand off the handlebars and try to press the button on the remote that means "Switch to leading shot". Instead, you'd just talk into your earbud: "Switch to leading shot" or "Climb to 100 feet", or more complex cinematographic instructions like "Pan from me to tracker B"

Especially in the extreme sports selfie video genre, hands-free operation would be a big advantage.
I think it's pretty clear that this would take long time. Reputation it's not something company can get just by changing CEO or releasing few things as open source.

After all they still continue their aggressive patents usage and there is still uncertainness around audio/video codecs for web standards mainly because of Microsoft. Pretty sure others may remember some areas where their politics didn't changed for a bit.

That's fine, but I think "no astroturfing nor accusations of astroturfing" wouldn't burden the rule list unnecessarily. Given HN's status in this industry, this is a prime locale for personal politics to creep into comments, and making clear that aspect won't be tolerated would only benefit the community, and would remove room for debate about that rule. Just a suggestion.
