China's approach has a lot to do with historical context and some really hard lessons. Like what happens if you don't take the necessary measures to make sure you're strong and strategically positioned so other people can't blockade you. In case you don't know what happens: you get colonized, other countries kidnap your heads of state until you give them land concessions, and you get pummeled into accepting opium imports. Don't think it's just U.K. and France. The U.S. is guilty too.

And they also destroy everything in their path:

There's a lot of reasons why this is cool, but I'm skeptical about it's aims to get rid of kerosene lamps.

Kerosene lamps are made with garbage. They can be replaced in minutes if there's a problem. Fuel costs are high, yes, but capital costs and maintenance are low. Those matter.

To really make this a long term win, you need to make it indestructible and easy to repair with on-hand parts. I hope they can do that.

Wow I really wish I had gone to your high school. The late 1990s at my high school were just like the late 1980s - each classroom had a computer but we were all too busy doing assignments on paper to ever use it. I didn't get to see VB until college.

I used to write games and utilities on my TI-83. It was generally frowned upon, because teachers were afraid they would be used for cheating. Even writing your own program that would compute the Quadratic Equation was banned because it was unfair to students who couldn't.

Rent control is bad for the price of rent

Yeah we aren't perfect. But after we did it no one else should (except our allies) and we are gonna keep it.
Your post assumes that the point of rent control is to provide some housing inventory that is below market value for new tenants. In actuality, the point is to ensure that long-time residents will not be swiftly priced out of their communities.

i.e. it doesn't matter that I'll pay market rent for a rent-controlled unit I move into today. What matters is that the yearly increase in my rent will probably not outstrip my income over the long term.
The author seems very keen on rent control, but I think one should look more cool headedly at some alternatives that can achieve the same result by different means.

Bombing the city in particular should be considered. Bombs could be supplied cheaply by the US army, where they are plentiful, and they could achieve the same level of devastation that rent control has produced in parts of NYC like the Bronx. Of course, they are also other ways to achieve the effects of rent control, like arson, bringing back Mongolian hordes from the dead, etc.

What matters is that we can have an open, transparent debate about the best way to ruin the real estate stock of the city.
BITS uses client centric bandwidth measurement, not network centric which isn't really possible and that's the point of contention. You cannot know exactly how your network usage is affecting the larger network.

Basically Microsoft's response to concerns over the bandwidth usage is, "Well, the bandwidth was just sitting there not being used. Doesn't affect anything if we use it."

That's just not true and it's an oversimplification of network topology.

Having a universal set is a sufficient condition for Russel's paradox.

That's not true. There are set-theories, e.g. Quine's NF [1] which allow universal sets, and other things like the set of all ordinals, that are forbidden in ZF-style set-theories. The problem in ZF is caused by unlimited comprehension. NF circumvents this by restricting comprehension. Tom Forster [2] has written a great deal about set theories with universal sets, including the wonderful [3]. He makes the historical point that set theory was born with universal sets.

In that case, yes, there are still plenty of alternatives to Silicon Valley. You've already mentioned Seattle. Portland and Salt Lake City are two more that I happen to know of. Sacramento's tech sector is also already booming (particularly in the area's satellite towns, like Folsom and Elk Grove), making it much less of a gamble than most other areas.

This seems like a solved problem to me.

please don't conflate rent-stabilization with rent-control.

They are two different things.

"Rent Control" is something that specifically applies to residents occupying a unit prior to a specific day in 1971 and their qualified heirs.

The most interesting case for me will be fast starting clojurescripts as the author points out.

The one area I have not been happy with is clojure's startup times so hopefully this fixes that going forward.
That actually seems like a pretty good strategy, TBH. Not saying this in an inflammatory way, as this seems applicable to a lot of other areas.

Execute massive land grab first to get strategic high ground, and then bitflip your previous moves to be wrong for anyone else to do. That makes sure that anyone else trying to catch up to you is unable to do so. Boom. Barriers to entry. Done.
This is inconsequential. If I were a hedge fund manager looking for insider info, I wouldn't be dumb enough to go directly to people within the company, unless I was out golfing with the CEO and he let something slip in conversation.

I would hire an analyst with ties to any employees in the organization to ask around. Which is probably what happened here. What other reason would there be for the analysts to acquire information and then go to the hedge fund managers with it?

You can't wash your hands clean by proxy if you still know what you are doing is wrong.

"The judge also agreed with the government that it was required to show only that the defendants [Newman and Chiasson] knew that insiders had leaked the information in violation of their duties to the company – the government did not have to prove the defendants actually knew the insiders had received a personal benefit in exchange." - this was the original logic under which they were convicted, and I think it makes a lot more sense than the final ruling.

Are there any plans to use mostly the same backend for Clojure and Clojurescript? It seems that since the languages are almost the same, it's only the code generation part that would be different?

Rent-stabilization is a flawed, lottery-based system that helps out a select few while sometimes having the unintended effect of helping out the wealthy:

http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20140430/new-york-city/rent-stabilized-apartments-are-being-occupied-by-millionaires-records-show

A more equitable system would involve direct tax credits to all in need instead of relying on an antiquated system that helps out a few lucky enough to win the rent lottery.
It would better if this could integrate (and be listed inside) wp-cli, which is becoming the standard for interfacing with WordPress using cli.
Great article. I'm curious if peeps in North America are actively considering trading the situation in China.

What surprised me is when I looked into the implied volatility on FXI, the ETF for US market to look to trade large caps in China is only at 27%.

To put things in perspective, S&P500 Index implied volatility is at 10%. Google's IV is at 21%. Tesla Motors's IV is at 45%. Very weird when I expect the down-swings in China would put the IV at a much higher level.

So my thesis is that the IV on Chinese market is undervalued relative to SPY, buying a straddle on FXI (long vol in China) and selling a strangle/calendar on SPY IMO (short vol in US) is IMO a viable idea.

Curious if any peeps have any other ideas?

Oliver is not me, nor has he ever worked for Mozilla. But you are not the OP, so this is all just more mistargeted drive-by and taking-it-too-personally complaining.

In fairness how far back do we apply this, should the Italians be censored for what the Romans did in the North of England, or the Mongols for what they did to most of Europe or the Spanish for what they did in South America or what we (the British) did to...well basically everybody.

It's kind of puzzling regarding the Chinese plans for the South China Sea. They are antagonizing many of their neighbors there that are normally friendly or neutral to them in most respects. If China persists in making these territorial claims in the South China Sea, how will they enforce it? They don't have any safe harbors in the area for their Navy to go to in case of a war, while the US has bases and allies throughout the region. As far as I can tell, the Chinese government usually acts family pragmatic with regards to it's foreign policy, though I'll admit that Xi does seem to be a different type of leader than their previous premiers.
I didn't say we should sweep it under the rug, I said that there exists context that the original author did not provide. Yes, the history of the population matters in these cases. I don't know where we should draw the line, but I do know that "we should never have military bases if one person has to be relocated" is not the line.
I'm all for rent-stabilization going away, if two things happen:

1) We remove building restrictions around the city that keep new taller apartment buildings from going up. Yes, almost all of NYC is developed land, but many parts of Brooklyn, for example, are full of one and two story buildings that aren't using the space effectively.

2) We upgrade the mass transit systems to handle the increased population. The subway system is already strained to the breaking point, and the buses can't help enough without getting personal cars off the road to free up traffic.
Will you be expanding into USA?
This. Thank you for being a voice of reason. Historical context is so important here, especially the lessons China learned the hard way. Like just what the U.S., U.K., France, and other countries can do to you if you show weakness.
Hi Gavan... Fellow gamedev here; I like your tech; it looks neat!

As soon as I saw it, I had a great idea for a game. It's pretty simple too... Imagine a sort of hybrid of Angry Birds and Defender of the Crown (https://youtu.be/Af0vFi4sSzw?t=272). Where you have to build up your castle and then knock down your opponents.

You already have pretty good walls, rocks, brickwork, etc. So you could use that for the construction phase. Then you'd need to add a variety of weapons; Ballistas, Trebuchets, Cannon, etc. Each one would destroy a few blocks in a certain pattern. Maybe you can unlock/upgrade weapons as you proceed. You'd also need some kind of physics to detect when blocks are unsupported and allow them to fall & destroy themselves.

I'm envisioning a simple single player mode where you take it in turns defending and attacking castles and then an MP mode where 2 or more players can defend and attack each other. You'd need some kind of replication system to report which blocks are created or destroyed during the game, but that shouldn't be too hard for you.

Let me know if you like my idea.

Thanks

Jan.

So, I was right to begin with: Eich unapologetically contributed material support to a campaign of hate against many of his own employees, and it's entirely justified for such a person to be ousted from a leadership position in a company that doesn't wish to lose many of its gay and gay-friendly employees.
Every project needs a strong leader. I seems that projects seem to fall apart when decision making become driven purely by consensus. If Linus was not a strong leader in giving Linux definitive direction, this same thing may have happened for Linux by now.
Why is rent stabilization bad? All it does is stop the rent from going up too much while you are living there. I wouldn't want to be a tenant without it - who wants to be forced to move because the rent went up by too much? As soon as you leave, the landlord can sign a new lease at whatever rent they like. That is distinct from "rent control" in NYC, which caps rents and is a much stronger measure, but only applies to tenants living in the same place since July 1st 1971, or March 31 1953 if it's an apartment in a 1 or 2 family home.

I'm not arguing that it's too big of a burden to contemplate the injustice. I'm arguing that the scale of the injustice may not be as great as the author contends, and there may have been a competing thing of value that was gained by the injustice, and that it is naive to argue that a government removing someone from their home is always an injustice regardless of context.

For the few who are used to playing games with keyboards, they will dominate this game.

For the rest of the people, who have spent years in fast-paced FPS games (that strongly use the mouse), the controls will be troublesome and prevent gamer-joy.

Afterall, it may be challenging for the first few times (and possibly fun), but who wants to be the small-fry who gets pwned ALL the time.

So here is my suggestion for alternate controls, for a game where you need to adjust aim rapidly, if you expect hundreds of players in each world:

Mouse = navigation

Mouse right-click/spacebar = shoot

Maybe there should be a constant-speed similar to agar, but if you are keeping the acceleration feature, perhaps you should add braking also, which gives:

a = accelerate

s = brake

d = shield

3 buttons + mouse; seems a lot simpler to me IMO.

I would like to keep playing this, but with these controls, I'd much rather play agar.io, which is simple/easy/fun.
Yes and no. You can write macros for which the source is ClojureScript, but they need to be kept separate. Here is a stab I took at explaining that subject: http://blog.fikesfarm.com/posts/2015-06-19-portable-macro-mu...

There are no plans for the same backend AFAIK.
systemd clicked for me when I started realizing that a lot of its decisions mapped directly to Red Hat business decisions in cloud computing and containers, like their backing of Project Atomic. nspawn, the "stateless" system features through dynamic configuration population, GPT partition discovery deprecating fstab(5), having a big centralized blob journal, the embedded network management (which is mostly useful for container deployments rather than desktops) and NSS extensions, the GNOME system upgrade logic and so on.

It's theoretically meant to be general-purpose, but it really shines at virtualized deployments and some desktops because of the multi-seat integration (though logind these days has some power management features that is just as relevant for servers).
Actually, if I remember right, it was discussed (briefly) giving the ring to Tom. But Gandalf said the ring would eventually consume Tom in the end. I always wondered just how Gandalf knew this. Given that he confessed not really knowing what Tom was.
