Look up Measure R. LA has mostly given up on roads and is very aggressively building new public transportation lines. The city has repeatedly voted for taxes to fund these endeavors.

You want a Ford F-150 or a Tacoma. You can spray the inside of those down with a hose, and range is definitely not an issue. This is a midsized sedan.

DuckDuckGo has been fantastic lately, and the bang system keeps me from using anyone else.

React + WebAPI on dotnet core. Fast, portable, good documentation all around, and simple. Simple is good.

That's started to happen again in the US, but you have to remember that many US cities were fairly dangerous and neglected until about 20 years ago.

Dramatic increases in lifespan have produced a home owning class that would normally have died years ago, locking up a large chunk of the housing stock. Also NIMBYs.

The situation has become insane. Here is a 2 bedroom in Jackson Heights, Queens for $815k - where the median household income in the area (which is not really gentrifying) is $51k: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/341

Yeah, this seems like terrible API design that, while it may be constructed to make a point, sort of obscures whether I should actually care. GraphQL seems a lot more complicated to consume/explore than REST, and it looks like I need t

This is a very low effort flame bait attempt, and HN is not the place for flamewars.

Aphex Twin seems to inspire indifference or obsession, so this seems very well targeted. Tool is kind of similar, no one seems to be "a little into Aphex Twin"

People are downvoting you for including Palantir, which has a reputation of over-inflating the quality of its engineers, and consistently choosing big name schools over experience. I don't know if it's true, when I interviewed wit

Until recently, most Arizonans also grew English-style grass lawns, with water that had to be piped in and species that are certainly not native. Apparently that's rapidly ending, so maybe the standard schedule will change as well some

Agreed. Cancer is random and having a genetic likelihood of a treatment-resistant cancer reduces the chance of that sequence spreading. Unlike cancer, bacteria and viruses mutate as they move through the population and slowly become resista

As a corollary, based on population growth rates/disparities between birth rates, people are going to be very surprised how quickly Mormonism rises. They're basically the only chunk of native born Americans that have a birth rates

C# is adding pattern matching in the upcoming release, and to your point, people are acting like it's the new hotness.

Japanese tourists are amazing. I once saw a 20-something couple silently watch a beautiful peacock stroll through the grounds of St. John the Divine, for an HOUR. I was walking around and enjoying the space, but those two seemed to have fou

Isn't that s very serious issue? I absolutely agree that journalistic/non-fiction integrity has collapsed in the post-print world, but what can we do about it? When your choice is Vox or Breitbart, that's kind of a turd sandw

Anything that "blunts" war or portrays it as anything besides "the worst living nightmare possible" is a lie. There of course is wonderful art to be made that acknowledges that fact - Guernica, Saving Private Ryan, The H

Totally agree. Also, compare with this map of heroin deaths per capita [0]. They're shockingly close. https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://...

Yeah, you'd have to do that, and then have permissions around routing, like we do with the filesystem today. I really like this idea, it's really elegant.

I'm not sure why you'd assume that, the NYPD certainly has a history of bravery but not one of technical competence.

Why shouldn't I be able to say whatever I want about people, even if it deviates from the norm. Norms change, "Gays are people" and "Women should be able to vote" were 100% norm-violating speech until recently. In f

The ACLU famously defended the KKK's right to have parades/rallies. Both have a pretty good history of killing Americans and saying horrible things. This country exists because of freedom of speech and press, and it really does ma

This is fairly well understood, as is the fact that none of the parties involved - Facebook, the media, or the political parties - have an ounce of incentive to change. So, what do we do? It may be becoming apparent that the theory that dem
