As one example, the metro (free newspaper) in san jose, ca has its back pages filled with marijuana advertisemets

EDIT: last months issue: http://issuu.com/metrosiliconvalley/docs/msv1535/1?e=1164868...

The advertisements for pot stores start on page 43, although there is a full page ad for the hempcon dab cup on page 13.

I'm curious, why would this be the default? For most users (the people not on HN) personalized search has increased the relevancy of results vs this.

I'm not op, but I think this would be like xhp or jsx. Really it's any templating language that works closer to the DOM level and can perfom optimizations like understanding which close tags don't need to be output

have you considered integrating index statistics into these changes? To take an example from mysql, there is the INDEX_STATISTICS table in information_schema that contains the current number of rows read from the index. Checking this twice with a one minute interval before applying the index drop could have shown that the index was under heavy usage, and might require human intervention.

fwiw, I was taught in the mid 90's about how (a/b) / (c/d) = (a/b) * (d/c) = (ad)/(bc)

It's optional I suppose. I'm not aware of any official city documents that use it, but it has historical roots.

> California Governor Felipe de Neve established the first civilian town or pueblo in California on November 29, 1777. Founded near the southern end of San Francisco Bay, it was christened El Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe.

I'm still not clear on this, what does it mean? I also tried to read the linked text but it's quite dense and drawn out.

I'm not sure that self driving cars will solve the expense problem. Cars are incredibly expensive to buy, insure, drive and maintain. Sure self driving cabs will make some dent in the expense, but I'm not sure it will be cheap enough to make sense taking a self-driving cab to work five days a week.

Ahh but that is not the value that is sent to the webserver, that is just your web browser prettying up the display. If we open the inspector and see what was sent we have:

Request URL:https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%99%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AB%E3...

Your browser will equally pretty up the json in the url for display purposes.

Its actually 120k in direct donations, 60k from CII, 50k from facebook and another 50k from stripe. Even at just under 300k it still isn't much for a development team.

Then why should the initial slope be lower? If the total sum is trivial it seems it shouldn't matter

but they are pretty much the same. One of my uncles(by marriage) runs a multi-million dollar farm with his brother. They started it from nothing about twenty years ago and now they grow millions a year in crops. This isn't some giant mega corp, this is two guys who have grown their business. Banks are thrilled to loan my uncle money to get more land, equipment, etc because he has a proven track record of turning loans into profits and returning their money.

Sure its just anecdote, but based purely on personal experience i feel like the family farms that go out of business are because they are not any good at business. The farms that are good at business just get bigger.

Do you all have any plans to shave that further? What might be considered the ideal maximum latency for things like flying obstacle courses(fpv racing)? landing from fpv?

some do, i used to live at a place served by https://webpass.net which wires up larger apartment complexes with ethernet and runs as many fiber drops as necessary. They only operate in a limited area with specific kinds of buildings though.

Why would Cogent still have to pay VerizonT1 to transit to the local ISP if it was spun off? Cogent have their own nation wide network to transit with.

additionally, no one can seem to detect the difference in battery life between 1080p and 1440p. Without having stronger data I have to lean towards the backlight taking up enough power that the difference in cpu/gpu work makes little to no difference.

you've got that backwards, bigger phones with bigger screens also have longer battery life. The increase in battery capacity by using a larger case is more than the decrease due to the extra screen space which needs to be lit up.

This is really the most important aspect of MOOCs. For me it's not about the students who would be going to college anyways, it's all the students(not just 1st world) that wouldn't be able to attend these colleges/universities still having the opportunity for a good education.

at least in the case of wikimedia, software is merely a byproduct of their goal. To quote their main page:

    Wikimedia is a global movement whose mission is to bring free educational content to the world.

prediction: facebook settles with zenimax for an undisclosed amount of money/stock/ip licensing with no admittance of wrong doing.

It is possible to extend, but extensible requires more. In this case, ParsedownExtra looks to directly extend the Parsedown class. This is fine for a single extension, but it discourages utilization of multiple independent extensions.

really depends on the site, several places let you change your username.

This is interesting, how does it compare to using nginx(or another proxy) in front of multiple socket.io instances on the same machine?

At first i thought it sounds a little high, but then i started thinking about my average communication protocol(IRC). I send a lot more than 50 messages a day over IRC, but i may not be average.

do you have any official sources? I would love to update the related wikipedia page but can't exactly cite a hacker news comment.

there is no standardized definition of HD. HDTV is 720 or 1080, but HD is simply a generic term meaning better than standard definition.

the stream is gray when they turn off the feed, black is night.

turn off the joins/parts/quits in your irc client(we use irc at work, and its the first thing i suggest to new employees)

I dunno, heres a home listed for $299k little more than a mile from where i currently am: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1515-14th-Ave-APT-201-Oakl...

I'm not saying its easy, but I think its possible. I'm perhaps being overly optimistic on down payments, the only person i know that bought a house recently did it in TX with 10%

tbh i can't figure out if this is relevant to my situation or not, because i dont have 500k in cash, or even 50k in cash.

FHA loans start at 2.5% down, and $2400/mo puts the total loan amount somewhere around $350k. So bare minimum would be 2.5% down and 2.5% closing for $18k to get in the door. I'm shooting for more like $30k-$35k, but $18k is the minimum.

18k minus 7k leaves 11k that could have instead been invested. To me the value of keeping a portion of my rent as capital(even tied up and with risks of loss) combined with certainty about what my monthly cost will be 10 or 20 years down the line is worth a lot more than that $11k in the bank today.
