That's an interesting point. I would point out another problem with this article based on my own experience living in metro Atlanta since 2001: many people, especially those moving to Atlanta from the Northeast, would likely have said that there was no good urban neighborhood in which to live in Atlanta in 2005. I think that was more of a chicken-and-egg problem than a zoning one. Midtown Atlanta had the right zoning and had neighborhood civic associations that were working toward urbanizing the neighborhood, but it wasn't until several years later that significant amounts of neighborhood-serving businesses started to move in.

That's decidedly not what the article claims. It claims that there are people who live in the suburbs but would prefer not to, and provides evidence to support that claim. The same evidence acknowledges the existence of people who are happy living in suburbs.

I've been thinking along the same lines for the last few years. If you did this, you could have a multi-user operating system in a single address space and avoid the cost of interrupts for system calls (which would just be like any other function call).

Why not define debug-req and debug-auth as atoms before this function, and set them with (reset! debug-req req) etc.?

The article points out that the phone-home domains this ransomware uses were generated by keyboard-mashing. Can we tell what keyboard layout was used?

I've had plenty of batteries swell, and none catch fire before I got them replaced, so I have to think it could help.

In my experience Apple is not consistently good about dealing with this. In every case, I've ultimately been able to get the battery replaced at no cost to me, but with an iPhone 6 that started swelling about a year ago, pushing the screen out, phone support told me flatly that this wasn't something that could possibly happen with such a new device, and suggested that I try to make a Genius Bar appointment on my own. When I brought the phone into the store later that day, they replaced it on the spot, with no appointment. (I wasn't going to accept carrying around a time bomb for another week or more.)

In case you're not joking, MINIX is much smaller than 100KLOCs.

But one of the most important features of Clojure is that it's hosted on mature, decidedly non-Lisp platforms with plenty of well-maintained libraries, and it has clean, concise interop. If that's what a Lisp needs to become popular, then I'd say that's evidence for this theory, not against it.

You are vastly overestimating how happy millions of dollars will make you. Google around a little and you might actually put a negative number on it.

If you get the numbers right, you will arrive at the same advice any financial advisor would give you: in something as novel and hard to price as bitcoin, only invest risk capital, defined as money you could lose in its entirety and still have a sound financial plan.

That's a design goal for cryptographic hash functions, which these are not.

It's "just" a business district within London, leaving aside a couple of millennia of history. London comprises the City and 32 boroughs, somewhat similarly to the way New York is made up of five boroughs, one of which is also called "New York" in some contexts.
